Thermal analysis of a thermal capacitor for the current lead cooling in conduction-cooled superconducting systems

전도냉각형 초전도시스템의 전류도입선 냉각을 위한 열커패시터의 열적해석

In this study, thermal analysis of a thermal capacitor, which is used to cool the current lead in conduction-cooled superconducting systems, was done. The temperature difference across a thermal capacitor was calculated by using heat conduction equation. Effect of heat load, total thickness, height and length of a thermal capacitor on the temperature difference were show. Using the results in this work, total thickness and heat height of a thermal capacitor can be determined for given heat load and given temperature difference. This work can be used practically in design for every superconduction system using a current lead.
