Background technology
The critical characteristic test experiments of high-temperature superconductor is described as one of experiment the most classical on the modern physics history.Critical current properties is one of three critical characteristics of superconductor.The critical current properties experiment of high-temperature superconductor is soaked in belt material of high temperature superconduct in the cryogenic liquid (as liquid nitrogen, liquid helium) usually, records different critical electric current values by changing magnetic field size and magnetic direction.
Current feed plays crucial effect in measuring the critical current properties experiment, be used for connecting room temperature power supply and superconducting tape, and apply electric current to the latter.During this, lead-in wire low temperature end face passes out the evaporation that the heat that comes causes cooling liquid, and the cold air that evaporates continues to cool off current feed again.Under overfreezing liquid nitrogen temperature 64K, yttrium is the critical current density of oxide YBCO band even can reaches tens thousand of ampere/square centimeters.Joule heat that high-current leading rises and the conductive heat leakage of bringing owing to the temperature difference at lead-in wire two ends will cause a large amount of evaporations of cooling liquid, thereby increase cooling cost greatly.Therefore the optimal design of current feed just seems extremely important.
Because lead-in wire is in the temperature difference of room temperature and cryogenic liquid, lead-in wire is the closer to the low-temperature end position, thermal conductivity is big more, and resistivity is more little, thereby causes conductive heat leakage bigger, Joule heat is less, the refrigerating gas temperature of bottom of going between simultaneously is minimum, and cooling power is higher, and traditional uniform cross section current feed does not utilize these characteristics that go up current feed, cause the waste of refrigerating gas, increased cooling cost indirectly.The optimal design of current feed geometrical structure parameter is exactly will be by finding the solution of current feed thermal balance equation being realized to the length of current feed and the computation optimization of sectional area size, the heat minimum that feasible lead-in wire low temperature end face spills, reduce the consumption of heat eliminating medium, reduce cooling cost.Publish first piece of relevant superconducting magnet in nearly 50 years with current feed optimal design article from nineteen fifty-nine scientist McFee R. at " Review of Scientific Instruments " magazine, scientific worker and engineering technical personnel that various countries are engaged in superconductor applications research have done a large amount of work on the current feed optimum Design of Parameters, thereby a variety of computing method have appearred, the pure analytic solution of partial differential equation for example, the segmentation computing method are based on numerical computation method of finite element software etc.Some can be common to most GAS-COOLED CURRENT LEAD design in these methods, and some is then only at some special operating modes.Generally speaking these computing method all are to be based upon on the basis that the current feed thermal balance equation is found the solution, in conjunction with concrete operating mode, to some calculating parameters (as the rerum natura of lead material, lead-in wire and the heat exchanger effectiveness of refrigerating gas etc.) do some rational hypothesis, thus obtain one comparatively near the parameters optimization of actual conditions.
