Abstract
Recent advances in the field of heat transfer or cooling with supercritical helium are reviewed:
The region boundaries are discussed and the physical properties of supercritical helium are described. A conventional heat transfer correiation may be used to predict the heat flux.
Force-cooled superconducting systems are compared with traditional pool system. Advantages of these systems will be particularly for large coil and long cable. But the design and construction of such systems are associated with some problems to be solved.
