Physics of Cryogenics: An Ultralow Temperature Phenomenon discusses the significant number of advances have been made during the last few years in a variety of cryocoolers such as Brayton, Joule-Thomson, Stirling, pulse tube, Gifford-McMahon, and magnetic refrigerators. This book reviews various approaches taken in the last few years to improve cryocoolers reliability which has been a major driving force for new research areas. The advantages and disadvantages of different cycles are compared, and the latest improvements in each of these cryocoolers is discussed. The book starts with the thermodynamic fundamentals, followed by the definition of cryogenic and associated science behind low temperature phenomena and properties. This book has written for scientists and engineers as well as graduate and senior under-graduate students who need to have better understanding of the science of cryogenic and related thermodynamics to do their job or get a job in this field. This desktop reference contains hundreds of tables, charts of cryogenic data gathered under one roof. Defines the fundamentals of thermodynamics associated for understanding of cryogenic processesProvides an overview of the history of the development of cryogenic technologyIncludes new low temperature tables written by authorDeals with application of cryogenic to preserve objects at very low temperatureExplains how cryogenic phenomena work for human cell and human body preservations and new medical approachesIncludes the latest information on micro-coolers for military and space applicationsOffers detailed information on high-capacity cryogenic refrigerator systems used in applications such as food storage, high-power microwave and laser sensors, medical diagnostics, and infrared detectors INDICE: 1.
