Empirical scaling formulas for critical current and critical field for commercial NbTi

Description: This paper presents the results of an analysis of both published and unpublished critical current data given as a function of both field and temperature. Simple formulas have been obtained for (1) the critical temperature as a function of field that is needed to obtain an estimate of the current sharing temperature and hence temperature margin, (2) the critical current density for constant temperature as a function of field, and (3) the critical current density for constant field as a function … more

High-field, high-current-density, stable superconducting magnets for fusion machines

Description: Designs for large fusion machines require high-performance superconducting magnets to reduce cost or increase machine performance. By employing force-flow cooling, cable-in-conduit conductor configuration, and NbTi superconductor, it is now possible to design superconducting magnets that operate a high fields (8-12 T) with high current densities (5-15 kA/cm/sup 2/ over the winding pack) in a stable manner. High current density leads to smaller, lighter, and thus less expensive coils. The force-… more

Description: Internally Cooled Cable Superconductor (ICCS) concepts developed for TF and PF coils of FED are described. These concepts represent one of the options for FED, and other conductor concepts are still being explored, i.e., no decision has been made for the conductor concepts to be utilized for FED. The TF coil conductor design is based on an ICCS successfully used in a small test magnet at ORNL. The conductor consists of triplets of NbTi strands loosely packed in a stainless steel conduit similar… more

Design and construction of the EBT-P development coils

Description: The ELMO Bumpy Torus Proof-of-Principle (EBT-P) plasma physics device is a large mirror fusion machine scheduled to begin operation in 1985. It will have 36 superconducting mirror magnets arranged in a bumpy torus on a 4.5 m radius. Presented here are several of the design parameters and supporting design/analysis that have not been published until now due to contractural arrangements between ORNL and the EBT-P subcontractors.

A review of the structural aspects of the Large Coil Task

Description: The Large Coil Task (LCT) was initiated a decade ago by the United States (US), EURATOM (EU), Japan (JA), and Switzerland (CH) under the auspices of the International Energy Agency (IEA) to develop superconducting magnets for toroidal field coils for tokamak fusion reactors. Under the IEA agreement, EU, JA, and CH each fabricated one coil and shipped it to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), where the coils were assembled, along with three US coils (GD, GE, and WH), in the International F… more

Comparison of Nb/sub 3/Sn and NbTi superconductor magnet ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) devices

Description: The TETRA tokamak systems code is used to compare designs for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) that use Nb/sub 3/Sn and NbTi superconductor magnets. Similar minimum-cost devices are found with both types of conductors when superfluid helium (He-2) is used in conjunction with the NbTi. The cost of using NbTi with He-1 cooling is much higher than that of using Nb/sub 3/Sn or NbTi with He-2 cooling. Generally, the minimum-cost devices occur for peak fields at the toroida… more

Spontaneous quenches of a high temperature superconducting pancake coil

Description: A double-pancake coil made of Bi-2223/Ag high temperature superconducting (HTS) tape was constructed with an embedded heater and graded conductors to study the stability and quench propagation in HTS coils. The experiments were performed with liquid nitrogen and gaseous helium cooling in temperatures ranging from 5 to 77 K. The coil was very stable, and no ``normal`` zone was sustained or propagated with local pulsed heating. However, spontaneous quenches of the cod were experienced. This was f… more

Partial-array test results in IFSMTF

Description: Preliminary performance tests of two large superconducting magnets have been carried out in the International Fusion Superconducting Magnet Test Facility (IFSMTF). Each of the Japanese (JA) and General Dynamics/Convair (GD) coils was operated up to its full design current of 10.2 kA with the other serving as an adjacent background coil at 40% of design current. Cryostatic stability was demonstrated for both coils by noting recovery from a full half-turn (5 m) driven normal. A new pick-up coil c… more

Performance analysis of reciprocating regenerative magnetic heat pumping. Final report

Description: Transient flow phenomena in the regenerator tube of reciprocating magnetic heat pumps have been studied numerically and experimentally. In the numerical study, two approaches were taken: (1) solving the energy balance equations for fluid through a porous bed directly and (2) solving the Navier-Stokes equations with a buoyancy force term in the momentum equation. A flow thermal mixing problem was found in both approaches because of the piston-like motion of the regenerator tube that hinders the … more

Development of Strengthened Bundle High Temperature Superconductors

Description: In the process of developing high temperature superconducting (HTS) transmission cables, it was found that mechanical strength of the superconducting tape is the most crucial property that needs to be improved. It is also desirable to increase the current carrying capacity of the conductor so that fewer layers are needed to make the kilo-amp class cables required for electric utility usage. A process has been developed by encapsulating a stack of Bi-2223/Ag tapes with a silver or non-silver she… more
