Lee, A Y

Comprehensive cryogenic stability analyses of the superconductors which are cooled by forced flow single phase liquid helium have been carried out. In these analyses the cryogenic recovery capability of a conductor design was analyzed to determine from what initially imposed normal state temperature the conductor can recover its superconductivity as a function of the available cooling capacity, after the occurrence of an event in which a given amount of heat is deposited suddenly to the conductor, driving the superconductor to a normal state.
