Twenty five years have elapsed since the original publication of
Helium Cryogenics. During this time, a considerable amount of
research and development involving helium fluids has been carried
out culminating in several large-scale projects. Furthermore, the
field has matured through these efforts so that there is now a
broad engineering base to assist the development of future
projects. Helium Cryogenics, 2nd edition brings these advances in
helium cryogenics together in an updated form. As in the original
edition, the author's approach is to survey the field of cryogenics
with emphasis on helium fluids. This approach is more specialized
and fundamental than that contained in other cryogenics books,
which treat the associated range of cryogenic fluids. As a result,
the level of treatment is more advanced and assumes a certain
knowledge of fundamental engineering and physics principles,
including some quantum mechanics. The goal throughout the work is
to bridge the gap between the physics and engineering aspects of
helium fluids to provide a source for engineers and scientists to
enhance their usefulness in low-temperature systems. Dr. Van Sciver
is a Distinguished Research Professor and John H. Gorrie Professor
of Mechanical Engineering at Florida State University. He is also a
Program Director at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory
(NHMFL). Dr. Van Sciver joined the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering
and the NHMFL in 1991, initiating and teaching a graduate program
in magnet and materials engineering and in cryogenic thermal
sciences and heat transfer. He also led the NHMFL development
efforts of the cryogenic systems for the NHMFL Hybrid and 900 MHz
NMR superconducting magnets. Between 1997 and 2003, he served as
Director of Magnet Science and Technology at the NHMFL. Dr. Van
Sciver is a Fellow of the ASME and the Cryogenic Society of America
and American Editor for the journal Cryogenics. He is the 2010
recipient of the Kurt Mendelssohn Award. Prior to joining Florida
State University, Dr. Van Sciver was Research Scientist and then
Professor of Nuclear Engineering, Engineering Physics and
Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from
1976 to 1991. During that time he also served as the Associate
Director of the Applied Superconductivity Center. Dr. Van Sciver
received his PhD in Low Temperature Physics from the University of
Washington-Seattle in 1976. He received his BS degree in
Engineering Physics from Lehigh University in 1970. Dr. Van Sciver
is author of over 200 publications and patents in low temperature
physics, liquid helium technology, cryogenic engineering and magnet
technology. The first edition of Helium Cryogenics was published by
Plenum Press (1986). The present work is an update and expansion of
that original project.
