    2. Superconductors: Properties and Uses Include outline of the present talk in this slide * How we cool matter. * Two types of applications: Those that involve the ability of s.c’s to carry dissipationless, or near dissipationless current as low frequencies. * Those that involve the quantum nature of the cooper pairs, all in the same state, behaving as a single quantum mechanical particle. Demos: 1. Rope and tennis ball. 2. microwave tunneling 3. something about the principles of bandwidth in r.f. for communications? 5. fineness of atomic spectral lines with prism or diffraction grating. 6. jumping ring in a solenoid (perhaps). 7. electromagnet again (perhaps). 8. demonstrate some principle behind refrigeration (compressor, pumping)? 9.

    3. Low Temperatures As I mentioned some materials turn into superconductors, but only at low temperature. What is low temperature? Kelin scale.As I mentioned some materials turn into superconductors, but only at low temperature. What is low temperature? Kelin scale.

    5. How do we cool: compress gas until it becomes liquid: When you compress a gas to a liquid gets hot. demonstration: plunger I’m not strong enough to compress air to a liquid Allow the high pressure liquid to cool to room temperature at high pressure. demonstration CO2. As the liquid evaporates and explands it cools. Compressor and temperature. Vapor compression systems are employed in most refrigeration systems. Here, cooling is accomplished by evaporation of a liquid refrigerant under reduced pressure and temperature. The fluid enters the compressors at state 1 where the temperature is elevated by mechanical compression (state 2). The vapor condenses at this pressure, and the resultant heat is dissipated to the surrounding. The high pressure liquid (state 3) then passes through an expansion valve through which the fluid pressure is lowered. The low-pressure fluid enters the evaporator at state 4 where it evaporates by absorbing heat from the refrigerated space, and reenters the compressor. The whole cycle is repeated.
