Author Description

Details the important cryogenic technology developed at the National Bureau of Standards Cryogenic Engineering Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado, over a 30 year period (1953-1983)--presenting the principles and techniques necessary to solve cryogenic engineering problems. Contains hard-to find archival information no longer readily available elsewhere. Topics include cryogenic fluids, mechanical properties of solids, transport properties of solids, refrigeration and liquefaction, insulation, instrumentation, natural gas processing and liquefied natural gas, and safety with cryogenic systems.
