Cryogenics: Fundamentals, foundations and applications

By Beth Evans

Cryogenics - the science that addresses the production, effects and maintenance of very low temperatures - underpins a range of enabling technologies that impact our daily lives in ways that are not immediately apparent. This book provides a practical, hands-on reference source to promote exploitation and innovation in all areas of cryogenic science and technology. The book is particularly designed to aid those practitioners coming newly into Cryogenics, giving them a context and signposts for where to go for further information. It spans a broad range of applications and undoubtedly will contain new information useful to those already involved with Cryogenics.

Key Features:

This is devoted to the contemporary uses of cryogenics, informing over a wide area including the technology, key applications and economic impacts.The book is written by experts in the field, providing a best-practice handbook for scientific and industrial users of cryogenic technologies. The book gives readers practical tools/approaches that they can use in their own research or industry setting.The book contains extensive references that will aid further research and study.Provides a broader view, encompassing a range of established and emerging industrial/commercial applications.Links with the British Cryogenics Council's "Fundamentals of Cryogenics" training course to support scientists, technicians and engineers within its academic and industrial membership organizations.
