This book deals with: Cryogenic fluid storage, Insulations and fluid transfer.Gives a brief summary of background theory, and problems solved with Mathcad and Engineering Equation Solver (EES). Topics: Design of inner and outer vessels, piping, Cryogenic insulations, vacuum insulated lines, Bayonets, valves, Two-phase flow and pressure drop, and cool down time.Functions/ Procedures, written in Mathcad and EES, simplify the standard, most required calculations.Should be useful to students, teachers, researchers and professionals.3 ZIP files of ‘stand alone’ EES distributables is included. See below.
Instructions for the 3 ZIP files:
- This folder contains three RAR files, viz. Click here to download them all at once.
- Design of Dewar vessels, pipes, and thermal cond, integrals, thermal expansion (12 EXE files)
