Description

A design method has been developed which accounts for the effects of nonuniform void fraction on cooling of the cable-in-a-conduit (CIC) superconductor. The CIC superconductor concept is intended for application in high-field toroidal-field coils. A heat transfer computation method has been developed. A design method has also been developed for joints and helium access regions based on minimum propagating zone criterion. Quench characteristics with and without an external dump resistor are described. These coils are for fusion applications. 25 refs
