Abstract: | The design of cooling systems for a cryoalternator's superconducting field windings must be based on the knowledge of the distribution of the thermodynamic parameters (primarily temperature) of the helium in both its liquid and gaseous phases in centrifugal force fields. This paper proposes a set of ordinary differential equations describing the distributions. By numerically solving the set, the effects of the angular velocity of rotation, filling factor and temperature (pressure) at the axis of rotation upon the pressure, temperature and density distributions in helium in rotating vessels have been studied. Formulee for the approximation of the distributions have been obtained, which are applicable to rotation axis temperatures from 3 to 4.6 K (corresponding to saturation pressures 0.24 × 105 to 1.4 × 105 Pa), angular velocities of rotation from 50 to 300 rad s?1 and filling factors from 0.1 to 0.9. |
