Description
A proposed supercritical helium dewar is to be maintained at about 5 K and 0.317 MPa. In case of a postulated catastrophic event when the outer vacuum vessel is damaged, air will leak into the vacuum insulation space. Present analysis verifies that the fill and vent lines can accommodate the increased flow of vent gas to keep pressure inside the dewar below the design limit
