Abstract
System performance analysis of a Gifford-McMahon (GM) cooler was carri ed out using the half-cycle mean model of a regenerator and instantane ous solutions of the mass and momentum equations. A PC-based simulatio n package GMSYS was also developed for system design analysis of a sin gle-stage GM cryocooler. It is shown experimentally that the predicted values agree very well with test results.
