In 1920, Claude used an expansion engine in the industrial liquefaction of hydrogen and the production of refrigeration at and around the normal boiling point of hydrogen. On-campus exam dates are listed in the syllabus. Thermodynamics tables and a formula/summary sheet will be provided. An extensive comparison of the various properties of paramagnetic materials contemplated for magnetic refrigeration systems has been provided by Barclay and Steyert. MAE 501 Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics - Spring 2019 Sections: 001 and 601 Instructor: Prof. The presentation is structured to show the steady progress made toward lower temperatures, more efficient and advanced refrigeration installations, and, overall, a more powerful thermodynamics. The optimal intermediate cooling effect must be distributed evenly along the temperature interval spanned by the counterflow heat exchanger. This chapter presents an outline of modem refrigeration thermodynamics, with an emphasis on low-temperature refrigeration, or cryogenics. The Brayton cycle is hidden in any refrigeration scheme that uses an expander. Two classical examples of refrigeration cycles that combine the Joule-Thomson effect with expansion in a work-producing device are the Claude and Heylandt machines. This chapter presents an outline of modem refrigeration thermodynamics, with an emphasis on low-temperature refrigeration, or cryogenics.
