In these applications, the combination of high engineering current density and high magnetic fields results in large electromagnetic forces or thermal loads acting on the CORC cable, which may lead to irreversible degradation of its properties. These loads typically appear in two perpendicular directions: axial tension by hoop stresses and transverse compression by radial stresses. Therefore, enhancing the irreversible strain limit in axial tensile and transverse compression deformation is imperative while minimizing magnetization losses during the design of CORC cables. This paper develops a finite element (FE) model that can be used to predict the mechanical and electromagnetic behaviors of CORC cables when subjected to axial tensile and transverse compressive loads. The irreversible strain limit for various combined axial tensile-transverse compression deformation modes is investigated from the critical current density reduction perspective. The distribution of axial strain in the ReBCO layer is analyzed. On this basis, a discussion of the effect of strain on electromagnetic properties is presented. In general, it can be observed that the irreversible strain limit of CORC cables exhibits greater sensitivity to axial tensile strain as compared to transverse compressive strain. Smaller winding angles are still the optimal choice regarding resistance to deformation and critical current degradation. The conclusions drawn in this paper will guide the design of future CORC cables.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10812,"journal":{"name":"Cryogenics","volume":"147 ","pages":"Article 104045"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143453451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, critical information regarding helium flow in the capillary tube—such as the onset of choked flow, the existence of superfluid transition, and the dependence of flow rates and the cooling power on the geometric factors of the capillary tube and operating conditions—remains inadequately understood. This paper presents a numerical analysis investigating the flow dynamics and refrigeration characteristics of helium through adiabatic straight capillary tubes. The findings establish criteria for identifying the onset of choked flow and superfluid transition. Results indicate that helium flow within the capillary tube typically operates in the choked flow regime in practical applications. Should a superfluid transition occur, it takes place in the free expansion region outside the capillary tube, exerting minimal influence on the internal flow dynamics.

To investigate whether the active-pressurization method can meet the active-pressurization performance requirements for low-temperature fluids in onboard LH<sub>2</sub> storage tanks, this study uses LN<sub>2</sub> as the working fluid. Experiments on active-pressurization and supply in the onboard LH<sub>2</sub> storage system were conducted, exploring the impact of different LN<sub>2</sub> fill levels on the active-pressurization rate and the pressure stability during the active-pressurization supply process. Based on the parameters of the LH<sub>2</sub> tank, a system simulation model was established. The maximum active-pressurization flow rate of the simulation model was calibrated according to the active-pressurization experimental data, further exploring the active-pressurization storage and supply characteristics of the onboard LH<sub>2</sub> tank. The results indicate that the active-pressurization supply simulation results, calibrated with the active-pressurization flow rate, show good consistency with the experimental data. As the supply flow rate increases, the active-pressurization maintaining pressure slightly decreases. When the liquid level drops too low and transitions to gaseous supply, the pressure inside the tank rapidly declines. At an ambient temperature of −10 °C, the active-pressurization can still offset the pressure drop caused by the supply. However, higher ambient temperatures increase the temperature difference during, leading to a higher evaporation rate inside the tank. The active-pressurization flow rate was corrected by the ratio of the densities and viscosities of LN<sub>2</sub> and LH<sub>2</sub> to investigate the situation of active-pressurization to exceed the critical pressure. When the LH<sub>2</sub> tank is actively pressurized to the critical pressure, there is still a return gas temperature difference close to 170 K, which is much higher than the 0 K of LN<sub>2</sub>, thereby promoting the active-pressurization rate.
