AUTHOR: VAN SCIVER, STEVEN W
BOOK
Twenty five years have elapsed since the original publication of
Helium Cryogenics. During this time, a considerable amount of
research and development involving helium fluids has been carried
out culminating in several large-scale projects. Furthermore, the
field has matured through these efforts so that there is now a
broad engineering base to assist the development of future
projects
Helium Cryogenics, 2nd edition brings these advances in helium
cryogenics together in an updated form. As in the original
edition, the author's approach is to survey the field of
cryogenics with emphasis on helium fluids. This approach is more
specialized and fundamental than that contained in other
cryogenics books, which treat the associated range of cryogenic
fluids. As a result, the level of treatment is more advanced and
assumes a certain knowledge of fundamental engineering and
physics principles, including some quantum mechanics
The goal throughout the work is to bridge the gap between the
physics and engineering aspects of helium fluids to provide a
source for engineers and scientists to enhance their usefulness
in low-temperature systems
Dr. Van Sciver is a Distinguished Research Professor and John H
Gorrie Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Florida State
University. He is also a Program Director at the National High
Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL). Dr. Van Sciver joined the
FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the NHMFL in 1991, initiating
and teaching a graduate program in magnet and materials
engineering and in cryogenic thermal sciences and heat transfer
He also led the NHMFL development efforts of the cryogenic
systems for the NHMFL Hybrid and 900 MHz NMR superconducting
magnets. Between 1997 and 2003, he served as Director of Magnet
Science and Technology at the NHMFL. Dr. Van Sciver is a Fellow
of the ASME and the Cryogenic Society of America and American
Editor for the journal Cryogenics. He is the 2010 recipient of
the Kurt Mendelssohn Award
Prior to joining Florida State University, Dr. Van Sciver was
Research Scientist and then Professor of Nuclear Engineering
Engineering Physics and Mechanical Engineering at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison from 1976 to 1991. During that time he also
served as the Associate Director of the Applied Superconductivity
Center. Dr. Van Sciver received his PhD in Low Temperature
Physics from the University of Washington-Seattle in 1976. He
received his BS degree in Engineering Physics from Lehigh
University in 1970
Dr. Van Sciver is author of over 200 publications and patents in
low temperature physics, liquid helium technology, cryogenic
engineering and magnet technology. The first edition of Helium
Cryogenics was published by Plenum Press (1986). The present work
is an update and expansion of that original project
