Research abstract
IT IS PROPOSED TO INVESTIGATE SEVERAL NOVEL REGENERATOR DESIGNS TOWARD PROVING THE FEASIBILITY OF HIGH HEAT CAPACITYIN THE 4.5 TO 10 DEGREE K RANGE. IN ADDITION, OPTIMIZATION OF THE OPERATING TIMING SEQUENCE OF THESE REGENERATORS WILL BE SIMULATED THROUGH A COMPUTER PROGRAM AND THE EFFECT OF PARAMETERS SUCH AS TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE WILL BE EVALUATED. THE FINAL RESULTS OF THIS STUDY WILL INDICATE WHAT COMBINATION OF CRYOCOOLER AND HEAT EXCHANGER- REGENERATOR SHOULD BE PURSUED FURTHER TOWARD THE FABRICATIONAND TESTING OF A PROTOTYPE UNIT.
