Generalized Analytical Computer Program for Turbomachine-Driven Cryogenic Systems in Helium

Abstract

The work comprises a generalized computer program for the performance analysis and study of turbomachine-driven cryogenic systems in general, employing helium as the working fluid. With the facility of the broad input spectrum incorporated, the effect of numerical changes in all major variables or input parameters may be studied, either individually or in combination as desired. Systems may also be optimized for minimum size, weight, number of components, and power input requirements.....by judicious selection of the various input parameters. The porous-plate type heat exchanger is specifically considered. Upon activating either one of two input codes, the computer will evaluate heat exchanger characteristics based on use of either AL-1100-F or AL- 3003-F as the plate material.
