Written by an engineering consultant with over 48 years of experience in the field, this second edition of a bestseller provides a reader-friendly and thorough discussion of the fundamental principles and science of cryogenic engineering. Topics discussed include the properties of fluids and solids, refrigeration and liquefaction, insulation, instrumentation, natural gas processing, and safety in cryogenic system design. The author explains general concepts related to the properties and behavior of cryogenic fluids and materials used in any cryogenic system. The book contains more than 125 literature citations and more than 130 graphs and tables.
Praise for the previous edition...
"...Geared toward engineers and scientists who need the normally hard-to-obtain information contained in its tables and charts of data, this volume details the cryogenic technology developed at the National Bureau of Standards Cryogenic Engineering Laboratory."
