D0 Silicon Upgrade: Liquid Nitrogen Subcooler Coil Sizing for D-Zero Upgrade

Description: The raw calculations are attached as Appendix A. The calculations provide the analysis of the heat transferred while the LN{sub 2} subcooler is in use. In order to achieve an acceptable conclusion, the assumption of a fully developed thermal boundary layer was made. The hot fluid or the fluid condensing on the inside surface will determine the rate of heat transfer because A{sub o} = A{sub i} and h{sub o}A{sub o} >> h{sub i}A{sub i}. The conclusion drawn is to use a 1/2-inch OD copper tub… more
