As one major part of heat transfer at cryogenic temperature, thermal radiation has an important impact on the design and operation of cryogenic systems, which is mainly related to the temperature and emissivity of the surface of material. Previous studies show that the surface roughness of material has an influence on the magnitude of the emissivity, which varies from different surface...
Epoxy resins have been widely employed as impregnating materials in high field superconducting magnets, due to their electrical insulation, high elastic modulus and strong bond ability. However, epoxy resins usually have a large coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). When the epoxy-impregnated magnets are cooled to cryogenic temperature, thermal mismatch stresses will be generated in...
