Abstract
The work presented aims to develop a numerical model which can be used to design a vapour shielded liquid helium (LHe) Dewar without LN2 Shield. This model can compute the position of shields and the Net Evaporation Rate (NER) based on the capacity and number of vapour cooled shields (VCS) given by the user. The effect of neck dimensions on the heat in-leak is also given by this model. Heat in-leak design calculations are done using Finite Difference Method (FDM). A computer program is developed using MATLAB®. The results can be obtained either in graphical form or in terms of minimum NER and optimal positions of the VCS. The modelis validated against available results in literature and additional results are discussed in detail. This program can be extended to estimate the neck dimensions and position of shields for any given capacity, number of shields and allowable boil-off rate.
