Cryogenic liquid temperature

The purpose for conducting these tests is to experimentally determine the effect of elevating the temperature of the pressurant gas above the cryogenic liquid temperature on LAD performance in a relevant thermal environment. All bubble points collected in Chapters...

Every gas has a critical temperature above which it cannot be liquefied by application of pressure alone (Chapter 4). As a result, gases used, e.g., as an inert medium to reduce oxygen content of atmospheres containing flammable gas or vapour (Chapter 6) are often shipped and stored as cryogenic liquid for convenience and economy. 

They are widely employed in the manufacture, storage and distribution of liquified gases, particularly on sea and road tankers. The most popular alloy for cryogenic applications is 4.5% magnesium alloy (N8). Table 3.33 gives the boiling points of the most common cryogenic liquids and the minimum temperatures at which various materials can be used. 

Accidents due to thermcil shock mixtures of cryogenic liquids with water at ambient temperature. There will be an explosion if the difference in temperature of the mixture of molten metals with water is greater than 90°C. 

Interest in permanent magnets is increasing in non-medical NMR imaging. One reason is obviously the lower costs, permanent magnets do not need a power supply or cryogenic liquids. Only the temperature has to be kept very stable,... 

It is important to note that some types of dewar necks are made of plastic materials which are permeable to gases and in particular to He. The permeation phenomenon has a strong dependence on temperature and is negligible at 4K (see e.g. ref. [6]). If the dewar remains for a long time at room temperature in an atmosphere containing He gas, the vacuum space is slowly filled with He which must be pumped before the filling with cryogenic liquids. 

CUORE refrigerator will not use cryogenic liquids five pulse tube refrigerators for the 45 K and the 4K shields, and a dry DR (see Section 6.7) for the 4K and lower temperature stages. 

Cryogenic temperatures can cause embrittlement of some materials of construction (eg., carbon steel) and must be considered in the design of inert gas delivery systems. Controls should be provided to ensure that operational upsets do not allow the migration of cryogenic liquids to piping or equipment not designed to withstand such low temperatures. 

The potential for the condensation and fractional distillation of air on the outside of equipment containing cryogenic liquids with boiling points less than that of 02 must be considered. For example, because N2 boils at a lower temperature than 02 (-196 versus -183°C), air can condense on the outside of liquid N2-bearing piping. The liquid that drops off of the piping will be enriched in 02 and can pose an enhanced fire or explosion risk in the vicinity of the equipment. 

The first objective was that of achieving critical temperatures higher than 77 K (—196°C). In this way liquid nitrogen (boiling point 77 K) could be used as the cryogenic liquid instead of the much more expensive and difficult to handle liquid helium. 

Tanks are used to store liquids over a wide temperature range. Cryogenic liquids, such as liquefied hydrocarbon gases, can he as low as —201° C(—330° F). Some hot liquids, such as asphalt (qv) tanks, can have a normal storage temperature as high as 260—316°C (500—600°F). Flowever, most storage temperatures are either at or a little above or below ambient temperatures. 

An alternative, and much more accurate, method for obtaining information on the interactions between molecules is the Joule-Thomson expansion, shown in Fig. 5. This process also forms the experimental basis for much of the science of cryogenics (the study of phenomena at low temperatures), which we will discuss in Chapter 4. Industrially, cryogenic liquids, such as liquid N2, 02, H2, and He, are produced by the Linde process, which uses Joule-Thomson expansions. N2 and 02 (and noble gases) are obtained in this process by producing and then... 

In general, the specific heat of cryogenic liquids decreases in a manner similar to that noted for crystalline solids as the temperature is lowered. At low pressures, the specific heat decreases with a decrease in temperature. However, at high pressures in the neighborhood of the critical, humps in the specific-heat curve are also observed for all normal cryogens. 

All cryogenic liquids except hydrogen and helium have thermal conductivities that increase as the temperature is... 

The technique of matrix isolation has been shown to produce highly characteristic spectra of individual components of complex samples combination of MI spectroscopy with separation techniques promises to increase further the analytical capabilities of the technique. While our research to date has emphasized FTIR and molecular fluorescence spectrometry, MI as a sampling procedure is not limited to these two forms of spectrometry. For example, some interesting preliminary analytical results by MI Raman spectrometry recently have been described (32). It should also be stressed that the cryogenic procedures required for the vast majority of MI spectral studies are neither difficult nor unduly expensive except in very special cases, closed-cycle cryostats requiring no cryogenic liquids (and no prior experience in low-temperature techniques) are entirely satisfactory for MI... 

The direct determination of the saturation pressure of the adsorptive has the advantage of providing the real p° and, with nitrogen, of allowing one to calculate the adsorption temperature to the nearest 0.01 K. Since the surface layer of a cryogenic liquid tends to become colder (because of evaporation) than the lower part of the liquid (Nicolaon and Teichner, 1968), it is necessary to condense the adsorptive in the bottom of a double-walled ampoule, so that the location of the condensation is very close to the adsorbent sample. Measurement of the sample temperature by means of a resistance thermometer is more straightforward, but requires calibration against the saturation vapour pressure thermometer.
