In this study, the microstructural and mechanical properties of copper-based superconducting systems synthesized via the sol–gel method-namely Y1-xTbxBa2Cu3O7-δ, Y1Ba2Cu3-xZnxO7-δ, Y3-xTbxBa5Cu8O18-δ, and Y3Ba5Cu8-xZnxO18-δ were comparatively investigated to evaluate the effects of varying concentrations of terbium (Tb) and zinc (Zn) dopants on the structural integrity, crystal quality, and micromechanical strength of both Y1-xTbxBa2Cu3O7-δ and Y3-xTbxBa5Cu8O18-δ superconducting phases. X-ray diffraction (XRD) assessed crystal structure, phase purity, and dopant effects, while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterized particle size distribution, surface morphology, porosity, and potential phase separation. Vickers microhardness (Hv) testing quantified micromechanical behavior under varying dopant concentrations. Results show that Zn and Tb substitutions influence crystal structure and mechanical strength differently depending on dopant level and superconductor type. Optimized doping enhanced phase purity, lattice stability, microstructural coherence, and hardness, whereas excessive doping caused lattice distortions, defect clustering, oxygen ordering instabilities, and partial phase separation. Y1-xTbxBa2Cu3O7-δ ceramics exhibited superior tolerance to both dopants, with improved crystallinity, grain connectivity, and mechanical robustness at higher concentrations. In contrast, the Y3-xTbxBa5Cu8O18-δ ceramic structure was more sensitive to doping, showing benefits only at low levels and significant structural degradation at higher levels, explaining the preference for the Y1-xTbxBa2Cu3O7-δ phase in substitution studies. Analysis of load-independent Vickers hardness in plateau regions indicated that the Indentation-Induced Cracking (IIC) model most accurately described mechanical behavior. Consequently, precise optimization of dopant type and concentration is essential to achieving high structural integrity and mechanical performance, making these YBCO-based superconductors promising candidates for advanced energy and technological applications.
本研究对比研究了溶胶-凝胶法合成的铜基超导体系Y1-xTbxBa2Cu3O7-δ、Y1Ba2Cu3-xZnxO7-δ、Y3-xTbxBa5Cu8O18-δ和Y3Ba5Cu8-xZnxO18-δ的微观结构和力学性能,以评价不同浓度的铽(Tb)和锌(Zn)掺杂剂对Y1-xTbxBa2Cu3O7-δ和Y3-xTbxBa5Cu8O18-δ超导相的结构完整性、晶体质量和微观力学强度的影响。x射线衍射(XRD)评估了晶体结构、相纯度和掺杂效应,而扫描电子显微镜(SEM)表征了粒度分布、表面形貌、孔隙率和潜在的相分离。维氏显微硬度(Hv)测试量化了不同掺杂浓度下的微观力学行为。结果表明,锌和Tb取代对晶体结构和机械强度的影响随掺杂水平和超导体类型的不同而不同。优化后的掺杂提高了相纯度、晶格稳定性、微观结构相干性和硬度,而过量掺杂会导致晶格畸变、缺陷聚类、氧有序不稳定和部分相分离。Y1-xTbxBa2Cu3O7-δ陶瓷对这两种掺杂剂均表现出优异的耐受性,在较高浓度下具有更好的结晶度、晶粒连连性和机械稳健性。相比之下,Y3-xTbxBa5Cu8O18-δ陶瓷结构对掺杂更为敏感,仅在低掺杂水平下表现出益处,在高掺杂水平上表现出明显的结构降解,这解释了取代研究中对Y1-xTbxBa2Cu3O7-δ相的偏好。高原地区不受载荷影响的维氏硬度分析表明,压痕诱发裂纹(IIC)模型最准确地描述了力学行为。因此,精确优化掺杂类型和浓度对于实现高结构完整性和机械性能至关重要,使这些基于ybco的超导体成为先进能源和技术应用的有希望的候选者。

Five well-textured single grain YBCO rectangular samples, four of them 13.5 × 13.5 × 7.5 mm3 and one of them 27.4 × 27.4 × 7.5 mm3 in dimensions, were fabricated by top-seeded melt growth (TSMG) method using Nd-123 seeded. These samples were used to investigate the relationship between levitation force and guidance forces between the individual YBCO bulk and their different arrangements and involve permanent magnet (PM) and traditional monopole permanent magnetic guideway (PMG) for the high-Tc superconducting magnetic bearing applications. The levitation and guidance forces of the samples were experimentally measured using a cryogenic load cell setup by a custom-designed three-axis magnetic force measurement system. Additionally, two-dimensional finite element model based on the H-formulation was developed using COMSOL Multiphysics 6.0 to simulate the magnetic interaction between the bulk and the magnet. It was found that the larger sample sizes and multi-bulk arrangements significantly enhanced both levitation and guidance forces compared to a single small bulk. General, the results underscore that, the spatial arrangement and size scaling of HTS bulks play a critical role in maximizing levitation force for superconducting Maglev vehicle and HTS bearing applications. The combined use of experimental and numerical modelling provides a valuable framework for optimizing next-generation HTS systems tailored for high-efficiency, high-stability levitation applications.
采用顶部种子熔体生长(TSMG)法制备了5个纹理良好的YBCO单晶粒矩形试样,其中4个尺寸为13.5 × 13.5 × 7.5 mm3, 1个尺寸为27.4 × 27.4 × 7.5 mm3。利用这些样品研究了不同排列方式下YBCO块体的悬浮力和导向力之间的关系,并对用于高tc超导磁轴承的永磁和传统单极永磁导轨进行了研究。采用特制的三轴磁力测量系统,利用低温测压元件对样品的悬浮力和导向力进行了实验测量。此外,利用COMSOL Multiphysics 6.0软件建立了基于h公式的二维有限元模型,模拟了体体与磁体之间的磁相互作用。研究发现,与单个小体积相比,较大的样本量和多体积排列显著增强了悬浮力和导引力。综上所述,超导磁浮体的空间布局和尺寸尺度对超导磁浮车辆和超导磁浮轴承的最大悬浮力起着至关重要的作用。实验和数值模拟的结合使用为优化下一代高效、高稳定悬浮应用的HTS系统提供了一个有价值的框架。

Energy loss analysis of cryogenic neon turboexpander based on entropy production theory 基于熵产理论的低温氖涡轮膨胀机能量损失分析
IF 2.1 3区 工程技术 Q3 PHYSICS, APPLIED Pub Date : 2025-12-15 Epub Date: 2025-10-22 DOI: 10.1016/j.cryogenics.2025.104217

The cryogenic neon turboexpander (CNTE) serves as the core component of the neon Claude cycle refrigerator. A comprehensive understanding of its internal flow loss mechanisms is critical for further enhancing CNTE performance. This study employs computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations coupled with entropy production analysis to investigate the flow behavior and energy dissipation mechanisms within the CNTE. The numerical results demonstrate that approximately 91.5 % of the total entropy production originates from the impeller and diffuser components, and the primary loss mechanism stems from turbulent energy dissipation occurring at the interface of tip clearance leakage flow and the mainstream. Quantitative analysis reveals that expanding the tip clearance from 0 mm to 0.6 mm results in an 11.13 % deterioration in isentropic efficiency, accompanied by a corresponding 9.25 % reduction in cooling power. Furthermore, under asymmetric tip clearance conditions, changes in radial clearance have a much greater impact on the performance of CNTE than modifications to axial clearance. Additionally, rotational speed significantly impacts turboexpander performance, with an optimal rotational speed range existing to maximize both isentropic efficiency and cooling power. In summary, this study provides novel insights and a theoretical foundation for optimizing the operational parameters and structural design of cryogenic neon turboexpanders.
低温氖气涡轮膨胀器(CNTE)是氖气克劳德循环制冷机的核心部件。全面了解其内部流动损失机制对于进一步提高CNTE性能至关重要。本研究采用计算流体力学(CFD)模拟和熵产分析相结合的方法研究了CNTE内部的流动特性和能量耗散机制。数值计算结果表明,约91.5%的总熵产来自叶轮和扩散器部件,主要损失机制是叶尖间隙泄漏流与主流界面处的湍流能量耗散。定量分析表明,当叶尖间隙从0 mm扩大到0.6 mm时,等熵效率下降11.13%,冷却功率相应降低9.25%。此外,在非对称叶尖间隙条件下,径向间隙的变化对CNTE性能的影响远大于轴向间隙的变化。此外,转速对涡轮膨胀机的性能有显著影响,存在一个最佳转速范围,以最大限度地提高等熵效率和冷却功率。本研究为低温氖气涡轮膨胀器的运行参数优化和结构设计提供了新的思路和理论基础。

A pneumatic-driven mechanical actuator-based low-speed cryogenic pellet injector has been developed and presented in this study. The objective of this technology development is to investigate the freezing and launching of large-sized pellets of gas species pertinent to disruption mitigation studies (DMS) in a tokamak plasma. For pellet freezing, a cryocooler-based refrigeration system has been used. The pellets are frozen in-situ in the gun barrel, connected to the cryocooler’s cold head. To facilitate pellet launching, a mechanical pneumatic launcher (MPL) has been designed and integrated into the gun barrel, enabling the launch of high-strength cryogenic pellets. Key MPL parameters influencing cryogenic pellet launching were characterized using a dedicated test bench and subsequently applied in experimental trials. Experiments are performed on cylindrical-shaped solid hydrogen pellets having dp ∼ 4.2 mm and lp/dp = 1.5, where lp and dp are the length and diameter of the pellet, respectively. Compared to conventional gas gun injection methods, the MPL demonstrated a substantial reduction in required propellant pressure. The experiment was conducted for a propellant pressure range of 0.4 to 1.6 MPa, achieving corresponding pellet speeds of 80 to 140 m/s. Over 200 pellets were successfully launched, with the system achieving an injection reliability exceeding 90 %. Additionally, preliminary investigations into the pellet-shattering study have been initiated.

Influence of gas impurities on high-accuracy refractive index gas thermometry 气体杂质对高精度折射率气体测温的影响

Refractive index gas thermometry (RIGT) is a primary method for high-accuracy thermodynamic temperature measurements, yet the precise quantification of impurity-induced effect, especially at temperatures below 25 K, has remained a challenge. To address this, we present a comprehensive numerical approach to evaluate impurity-induced relative temperature deviations δ in RIGT. This approach is applied to systematically investigate such deviations for three monatomic working gases (Ne, 4He, and 3He) over wide ranges of temperature (1.5 K − 273.16 K), pressure (0.3 kPa − 250 kPa) and impurity concentration (0.05 ppm − 5 ppm). Our results indicate that the maximum relative temperature deviations are 2.4 ppm for Ne, 0.33 ppm for 4He and 0.45 ppm for 3He. A key finding is that while the existing mixture Aε model remains valid at higher temperatures, accurate impurity correction under cryogenic conditions requires consideration of the second virial coefficient. We demonstrate that these two parameters collectively explain nearly 100 % of δ across the full temperature ranges, making the simplified Aε + B model as an efficient and accurate alternative to the full-scale computations. This work provides a robust theoretical framework for quantifying impurity-related uncertainties and offers practical guidance for optimizing gas-handling systems for high-precision primary gas thermometry. Further refinement of the model will be feasible with the future availability of high-accuracy ab initio virial coefficients for gas mixtures.
折射率气体测温(右)是高精度热力学温度测量的主要方法,但杂质诱导效应的精确量化,特别是在温度低于25 K时,仍然是一个挑战。为了解决这个问题,我们提出了一个全面的数值方法来评估杂质引起的相对温度偏差δ。该方法用于系统地研究三种单原子工作气体(Ne, 4He和3He)在宽温度(1.5 K−273.16 K),压力(0.3 kPa−250 kPa)和杂质浓度(0.05 ppm−5 ppm)范围内的这种偏差。结果表明,Ne的最大相对温度偏差为2.4 ppm, 4He为0.33 ppm, 3He为0.45 ppm。一个关键的发现是,虽然现有的混合Aε模型在较高温度下仍然有效,但在低温条件下精确的杂质校正需要考虑第二维里系数。我们证明,在整个温度范围内,这两个参数共同解释了近100%的δ,使简化的Aε + B模型成为全尺寸计算的有效和准确的替代方案。这项工作为量化杂质相关的不确定性提供了一个强大的理论框架,并为优化高精度初级气体测温的气体处理系统提供了实践指导。该模型的进一步细化将是可行的,未来可获得高精度的气体混合物从头算维氏系数。

Modular nitrogen boiling thermosyphons for multi-kiloampere current lead cooling 用于数千安培电流铅冷却的模块化氮沸腾热虹吸管

A high cooling power, low-complexity and passive system for pre-cooling of multi-kiloampere current leads for cryogenic applications with boiling nitrogen is presented. The system consists of a modular heat interceptor part with passively induced flow based on the thermosyphon effect, where evaporated nitrogen is vented into the atmosphere. This heat interceptor module may be placed between a normal conducting and superconducting cable, to substantially reduce the thermal load on a cryogenic setup. Two prototype heat interceptors with similar cross-sectional areas and boiling surface but different coolant channel geometries were designed, manufactured, and characterized.

Solid air accumulation poses a significant safety risk for liquid hydrogen systems, particularly when oxygen-enriched layers form on the solid surfaces. This study experimentally investigated the solidification of the air-like nitrogen–oxygen gas mixtures with different nitrogen–oxygen ratios in liquid hydrogen, documenting morphological characteristics through visual observation and compositional distributions via gas chromatography. The results showed that for the solidification of the gas mixture with a relative oxygen content of 21.96 %, the size of the formed solid particles varied within the range of 0.7 mm to 1.2 mm. Moreover, most of the solid particles were dispersed in the form of powder in liquid hydrogen, and a small portion of solid particles were accumulated to form sheet-shaped or block-shaped aggregates. Compositional analysis revealed significant oxygen enrichment at the solid surface, reaching the maximum relative proportions of 33.64 %. Similarly, gas mixture with 30.42 % relative oxygen content yielded smaller solid particles with a size from 0.5 mm to 1 mm during the solidification, and the morphology of the formed solid particles was basically identical to that formed under air-like condition. The solid air’s outer layer consistently exhibited oxygen enrichment with higher oxygen content in the injected gas mixture directly increasing oxygen concentration in the outer surface, which was demonstrated by the maximum relative oxygen proportion attaining 34.33 %. This work significantly expands the existing experimental database of the solidification of air in liquid hydrogen, and also provides valuable experimental reference for the safety design of cryogenic systems.
固体空气积聚对液氢系统构成了重大的安全风险,特别是当固体表面形成富氧层时。本研究通过实验研究了不同氮氧比的空气状氮氧混合物在液氢中的凝固,通过目视观察和气相色谱法记录了其形态特征和成分分布。结果表明:相对氧含量为21.96%的混合气体凝固时,形成的固体颗粒尺寸在0.7 ~ 1.2 mm范围内;大部分固体颗粒在液态氢中以粉末状分散,少部分固体颗粒在液态氢中聚集形成片状或块状聚集体。组分分析表明,固体表面氧富集显著,相对富集比例最大达33.64%。同样,相对氧含量为30.42%的混合气体在凝固过程中产生的固体颗粒更小,尺寸在0.5 mm ~ 1mm之间,形成的固体颗粒的形貌与类空气条件下形成的固体颗粒基本相同。固体空气外层持续富氧,注入气体混合物中氧含量较高,直接增加了外表面氧浓度,最大相对氧比例达到34.33%。该工作大大扩展了现有液氢中空气凝固的实验数据库,也为低温系统的安全设计提供了有价值的实验参考。

Liquid hydrogen is often the most suitable choice for both storage and transportation in various situations. However, once a leak occurs, liquid hydrogen will rapidly evaporate into gaseous hydrogen, causing significant potential hazards. Therefore, it is crucial to study measures to improve the safety of liquid hydrogen use. This paper proposes a method called “air wall.” A comparison between the traditional bund wall system and the air wall show that the air wall offers more effective protection. Analysis of the airflow speed of the air wall reveals that higher airflow speeds enhance protective effects. By adjusting the activation time of the air wall, it was found that there is no need for continuous operation; activating the air wall before the arrival of hydrogen can also provide effective protection. The size of the air wall was also studied, and it was found that at the same air flow velocity, smaller air walls provide poorer protection. Finally, the impact of various atmospheric wind speeds on the air wall was analyzed, and it was found that the higher wind speed, the greater air wall speed for effective protection. This protective method is expected to be widely implemented in liquid hydrogen storage areas.
在各种情况下,液氢通常是最适合储存和运输的选择。然而,一旦发生泄漏,液氢会迅速蒸发成气态氢,造成重大的潜在危害。因此,研究提高液氢使用安全性的措施至关重要。本文提出了一种称为“空气墙”的方法。通过对传统外滩墙体系与空气墙体系的比较,表明空气墙具有更有效的保护作用。对风壁气流速度的分析表明,气流速度越高,防护效果越好。通过调整气壁激活时间,发现无需连续操作;在氢气到达之前激活空气壁也可以提供有效的保护。对空气壁的尺寸也进行了研究,发现在相同的空气流速下,空气壁越小,保护效果越差。最后,分析了不同大气风速对空气壁的影响,发现风速越高,空气壁速度越大,才能进行有效保护。这种保护方法有望在液氢储存领域得到广泛应用。

Study on the degradation of current-carrying performance of YBCO multi-filamentary tapes prepared by reel-to-reel ultraviolet picosecond laser cutting under pure torsion mode 纯扭转模式下卷对卷紫外皮秒激光切割制备的YBCO多丝带载流性能退化研究
IF 2.1 3区 工程技术 Q3 PHYSICS, APPLIED Pub Date : 2025-12-15 Epub Date: 2025-10-17 DOI: 10.1016/j.cryogenics.2025.104213

YBCO multi-filamentary tapes’ current-carrying performance is susceptible to torsional stress during cable and magnet fabrication. In this study, commercial YBCO tapes from Shanghai Superconductor Technology Co., Ltd. were cut using a reel-to-reel ultraviolet picosecond laser cutting device developed by our group to fabricate 2-filament, 6-filament, and 10-filament multi-filamentary tapes. Additionally, some of the multi-filamentary tapes were encapsulated using the copper-plating re-encapsulation process developed by our group. The current-carrying performance degradation behavior of non-striated tapes, unencapsulated multi-filamentary tapes, and re-encapsulated copper-plated multi-filamentary tapes under pure torsion mode was systematically analyzed. The results show that the degradation behavior of multi-filamentary tapes is strongly dependent on the number of filaments. Specifically, the critical current degradation rates of unencapsulated non-striated tapes and unencapsulated 2-filament tapes are 12.11 % and 12.43 % respectively when the shear strain reaches 0.4125 %. In contrast, unencapsulated 6-filament and unencapsulated 10-filament tapes exhibit degradation rates of 11.69 % and 20.96 % respectively at a lower strain (0.375 %). For samples subjected to single-side copper-plated re-encapsulation with a thickness of 10 μm, the pattern of performance degradation is essentially consistent with that of the samples before copper-plated re-encapsulation, but their overall ability to withstand shear strain is improved by approximately 0.1 %. Macroscopic observations indicate that the surface of the tapes remains smooth without delamination after torsion; however, the “triangular” deformation feature reveals uneven internal stress distribution, suggesting that the superconducting layer may have incurred microscopic damage.​.
YBCO多丝带的载流性能在电缆和磁体制造过程中容易受到扭转应力的影响。本研究以上海超导科技有限公司生产的YBCO商用胶带为材料,采用本课目研制的卷对卷紫外皮秒激光切割装置,分别制备了2丝、6丝和10丝多丝胶带。此外,部分多纤带采用本课题组开发的镀铜再封装工艺进行封装。系统分析了纯扭转模式下无条纹带、未封装多丝带和再封装镀铜多丝带载流性能的退化行为。结果表明,多丝带的降解行为与多丝带的数量密切相关。其中,当剪切应变达到0.4125%时,未封装的无条纹带和未封装的2丝带的临界电流降解率分别为12.11%和12.43%。相比之下,未封装的6丝带和未封装的10丝带在较低应变(0.375%)下的降解率分别为11.69%和20.96%。对于厚度为10 μm的单面镀铜重包覆样品,其性能下降模式与镀铜重包覆前基本一致,但其整体抗剪切应变能力提高了约0.1%。宏观观察表明,扭转后胶带表面保持光滑,无分层现象;然而,“三角形”变形特征显示出内部应力分布不均匀,表明超导层可能发生了微观损伤。

This study proposes two optimization strategies that employ the genetic algorithm and corrected turbomachinery performance curves to enhance the off-design operation of a reverse Brayton refrigerator. Experimental validation was conducted to confirm the accuracy and reliability of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models in predicting dynamic parameters. The proposed optimization strategies modify the operating points of both compressors and the expander by adjusting their rotational speeds, enabling efficient operation across various off-design scenarios. The optimization results show that the two strategies achieve average coefficient of performance (COP) improvements of 5.06 % and 9.40 %, respectively, in the cooling down scenario. The analyses indicate that the fundamental mechanism of the optimization algorithm involves enhancing the expander efficiency and reducing the system’s mass flow rate. This study establishes a framework for off-design operation optimization for turbomachinery-based refrigeration systems.
