Synopsis

The Albuquerque Convention Center was the venue for the 1993 Cryogenic Engineering Conference. The meeting was held jointly with the International Cryogenic Materials Conference. Walter F. Stewart, of Los Alamos National Laboratory, was conference chairman. Albuquerque is near Los Alamos National Laboratory which has been a significant contributor to the cryogenics community since the early days of the Manhattan Project. Albuquerque is also the home of the Air Force's Phillips Laboratory which has a lead role in developing cryocoolers. The program consisted of 322 CEC papers, more than a 30% increase from CEC-91 and 20% more than CEC-89. This was the largest number of papers ever submitted to the CEC. Of these, 249 papers are published here, in Volume 39 of Advances in Cryogenic Engineering. Once again the volume is published in two books. This volume includes a cumulative index for the CEC volumes from 1975-1993 (volumes 21,23,25,27,29,31,33,35,37, and 39 of Advances in Cryogenic Engineering). The first 20 volumes are indexed in Volume 20. A companion cumulative index for the ICMC volumes (volumes 22 through 40) appears in Volume 40. This is my first volume as editor. I would not have been able to have done it without the assistance of the many reviewers. Especially appreciated was the instruction manual left me by the previous editor, Ron Fast.

Review

about previous volumes:
`The Advances in Cryogenic Engineering series provides a timely and authoritative entrée to the field for the outsider. For the insider, it is a must.'
Materials Science and Engineering
`Provides in-depth coverage of current research on technical materials of primary interest in the cryogenic engineering community, reviews important breakthroughs of the past, and outlines directions for future research.'
Cryogenic Information Report
`An interdisciplinary review of all areas of low-temperature technology, this significant series annually updates existing knowledge of cryogenic processes, equipment, instrumentation, properties, and applications....The literature source for many important new discoveries in the field.'
IEEE Spectrum

From the Back Cover

This conference is the principal North American Conference on cryogenic engineering. It is attended by scientists and engineers from all over the world. The papers published here have been fully refereed and cover all aspects of cryogenic engineering including: refrigeration, superconductivity, cryocoolers, air liquefaction, heat and mass transfer, insulation systems, cryostat design and space cryogenics.
