Cryogenic Thermal Model Development and Validation through Experimentation of High Temperature Superconducting Cable System

Abstract

The project will develop physics-based models of high temperature superconducting (HTS) cables and the related cryogenic helium hydraulics, vacuum quality dependent heat loads, and temperature and flow rate dependent cooling capacity of cryocooler systems. The models will be validated through experimentation on an HTS cable system including cryogenic helium circulationsystem. The objective of the experimentally validated models is to enable a thoroughunderstanding of the implications of various operational contingencies on the performance of HTScables. The effort will be performed in close collaboration with NSWC Philadelphia Division.
