Short Term
Course on
CRYOGENIC TECHNOLOGY: MATERIALS, PROCESSES & EQUIPMENT
at IIT
Kharagpur
Cryogenic
Engineering Centre, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur
Announces
A 6 day, short term course for faculty of engineering
colleges and scientists of R&D organisations. The course will be useful for
engineers in industry and entrepreneurs in cryogenic business
CRYOGENIC TECHNOLOGY:
MATERIALS, PROCESSES & EQUIPMENT – 2012 (Open Course)
Date: March 11-16, 2013 (Monday –
Saturday)
INTRODUCTION & SCOPE OF THE COURSE:
Cryogenic technology deals with production, maintenance and
applications of low temperature, typically below -150˚C. With the advancement
of technology and growth of human knowledge, cryogenics is gaining more
relevance in all spheres of social milieu. Today cryogenic technology is
applied in medical, biological and food preservation processes as well as in
futuristic technology like fusion reactors for power generation and deep space
probe.
In view of the growing demand of cryogenics, both at national
and global levels, this course is conducted to impart basic understandings on
theories and practices of cryogenic engineering. Efforts will be made to
address the broader spectrum of issues rather than discussing in depth on a
particular topic. The participant will learn to use the fundamentals, equations
and concepts in their particular applications of research, developmental
activities and operations of cryogenic installations.
Course out line:
1. Introduction to Cryogenic Engineering
2. Properties of Cryogenic Fluids
3. Basics of Thermal Engineering: Thermodynamics, heat
transfer & fluid flow
4. Behavior of Materials at Low Temperature
5. Cryogenic Storage & Transport: Dewars, transfer lines,
valves and cryostats
6. Vacuum Techniques
7. Cryogenic Safety
8. Production of Low Temperature: Cryogenic Liquefiers &
Refrigerators
9. Cryocoolers: Thermodynamics and Applications
10. Cryogenic Separation Processes
11. Basics of Compressors, Expanders or Heat Exchangers
Cryogenic Processes.
