Cryogenics-Low Temperature Engineering & Applied Sciences

This book are written by Professor Traugott H.K. Frederking and Sidney W.K. Yuan, Ph.D. The contents of this book have been taught by the authors in a cryogenics course at UCLA. Some of the topics discussed include applications of cryogenics, material properties, safety, principles of cooling, cryogenic insulation, instrumentation, superconductivity and superfluidity. The book also provides a great survey of topical areas in cryogenics and is a useful resource for laymen as well as experts in field. 6 by 8 with 202 pages. TABLE OF CONTENTS
