Brief Description

Description :

The objective of the project is: * To analyse the magneto-structural characteristics of linear motor compressors (pressure wave generator) for both moving coil and moving magnet arrangements to select the best among them for development of miniature size pulse tube cryocooler (PTC) for space applications. * To develop analytical models to investigate the real gas loss mechanisms that happens in the low-temperature regenerator on the performance characteristics of miniature PTC.
