A new MuCool test area (MTA) is under construction at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. This facility will house a cryo-system composed of a liquid hydrogen absorber enclosed in a 5 Tesla magnet. The total volume of liquid hydrogen in the system is 25 liters. Helium gas at 14 K is provided by an in-house refrigerator and will sub-cool the hydrogen system to 17 K. Liquid hydrogen temperatur...

Computer simulations of liquid phases require an initial configuration from which to begin. The preparation of such an initial configuration or ‘snapshot’ often involves the melting of a solid phase. This melting is usually undertaken by heating the system at low pressure, followed by a lengthy re-compression and cooling once the melt has formed. This note looks at a novel technique to produce ...

A linear stability analysis is performed on a thermal, stratified liquid layer with a deformable thermocapillary surface. The objective is to investigate the possibility and conditions for existence of oscillatory cellular convection in the linear thermocapillary system. In general, the principle of the exchange of stabilities for the onset of cellular convection in liquid layers with deformabl...

Recently, liquid crystals (LCs) studied as novel drug delivery system. The reason for this interest is due to the extensive similarity of these colloidal systems to those in living organism and their superior advantageous properties over traditional dermal, parenteral and oral dosage forms. LCs show structural, mechanical, and optical properties intermediate to those of crystalline solids and i...

The performance of lithium-ion batteries is closely related to temperature, and much attention has been paid their thermal safety. With the increasing application battery, higher requirements are put forward for battery management systems. Compared with other cooling methods, liquid an efficient method, which can control maximum temperature difference within acceptable range. This article revie...
