1 210 Appendix I Cryogenic Reerence Tables Appendix I: Cryogenic Reerence Tables Cryogenic Heat Flow Calculations The heat low Q conducted across small temperature dierences can be calculated using the ormula: Q = -KA dt ~ = -KA T Eqn. 1 dx L where K is the thermal conductivity, A is the cross-sectional area, T is the temperature dierence, and L is the length o the heat conduction path. Thermal conduction across signiicant temperature dierences should be calculated using thermal conductivity integrals. Note that the thermal conductivity and the thermal conductivity integral o a material can depend strongly on composition and abrication history. Without veriication, the data in the accompanying igures should be used only or qualitative heat low calculations. Calculating the heat conduction through a body with its ends at greatly dierent temperatures is made diicult by the strong temperature dependence o the thermal conductivity between absolute zero and room temperature. The use o thermal conductivity integrals (called thermal boundary potentials by Garwin) allows the heat low to be calculated as Q = -G(Θ 2 - Θ 1 ) Eqn. 2 where Θ is the integral o the temperature-dependent thermal conductivity, K, calculated as Θ 1 = T 1 0 KdT Eqn. 3 and G is a geometry actor calculated as 1 Θ 1 = x 2 dx x G 1 A Eqn. 4 where A(x) is the cross sectional area at position x along the path o heat low. Note that G=A/L in the case o a body o length L and uniorm cross-sectional area A. Equation 1 is only applicable to bodies within which a common thermal conductivity integral unction applies.
