Abstract

Heat transport in six (6) different model CIC conductors filled with He II has been measured. Each model conductor consists of a stainless steel tube containing a 75 strand cable of copper wire. Cable strands range from 0.4 to 1 mm OD, while the void space within the conductor varies between 36% and 52%. Steady state temperature gradients are compared to analysis based on Gorter Mellink heat transport. The agreement is acceptable provided the flow cross section of each conductor is about 10% higher than measured by image analysis. The method is suggested to aid in the hydraulic characterization of CIC conductors.
