Cryogenic devices have to be protected against accidental overpressure by installing pressure relief devices such as valves or rupture discs. The sudden loss of the insulating vacuum is often considered as the major accident, with the highest heat fluxes transmitted to the fluid.
Up to now, the design of safety devices was based on the use of experimentally measured standard heat flux...
The Divertor Tokamak Test (DTT) facility is a fully superconducting tokamak currently being built in the ENEA Frascati laboratories (Italy) to study the power exhaust issue in EU DEMO perspective.
The massive Toroidal Field (TF) magnets require a robust Gravity Support (GS) to sustain their weight. The GS is a stainless steel column in thermal contact at the bottom to the cryostat base at...
Spiral coated conductor cables, in which multiple coated conductors are spirally wound around a circular cross-section metal core, such as CORC-like cables, have advantages such as high mechanical freedom and high current capacity. Such cables are expected to be used in various applications, such as magnets for accelerators and nuclear fusion, and coils for rotating machines and generators....
