Editorial Reviews

Geared toward engineers and scientists who need the normally hard-to- obtain information contained in its tables and charts of data, this volume details the cryogenic technology developed at the National Bureau of Standards Cryogenic Engineering Laboratory over a 30-year period (1953-1983). Contents include cryogenic engineering connections, basic principles, cryogenic fluids, mechanical and transport properties of solids, refrigeration and liquefaction, insulation, cryogenic instrumentation, natural gas processing and liquefied natural gas, and safety with cryogenic systems.
