Some Considerations on the Configuration and Stability of the H2 Temperature Control Loops of the 80" Bubble Chamber (open access)

Some Considerations on the Configuration and Stability of the H2 Temperature Control Loops of the 80" Bubble Chamber

There is but little known about the thermal process involving the dynamics and thermodynamics of the cycling liquid H2 in the chamber and those of the H2 fluid flow in the cooling coil as well as the geometrical characteristics of the chamber body. This the physical equations governing this process are involving so many variables that this analysis becomes rather complex even if simplifying assumptions are made. To those difficulties is added the ignorance even of an approximative expression for some physical quantities such as film heat transfer coefficients entering as major parameters the process equation.
