Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4836923
A superconducting Nb solenoid was constructed with a calculated maximum magnetic field of 10.3 kilogauss at 1.1 deg K. The development of a 100-kilogauss laboratory magnet is described. A detailed discussion is presented on the problem of defining the efficiency of an ideal refrigerator, and a method is outlined for comparing refrigeration processes. Typical load vs plate separation curves are presented for gas-lubricated bearings tested in a flat plate apparatus. (D.L.C.)
