In the early 1980s, Graham Walker wrote his classic two-volume monograph Cryocoolers. Sections of that landmark work have been referenced more often and by more authors than any other cryogenic paper published in the mid-1980s. Nevertheless, in so dynamic a field, an update--one that is compact, inexpensive, and more ranging--is urgently needed. Low-Capacity Cryogenic Refrigeration provides an elementary yet comprehensive introduction to the subject, and features clear discussions of applications to scientific, medical, educational, military, and civil systems. Complementary to the earlier two-volume work, the book covers a wider range of topics and offers a wealth of information about the new developments in the last fifteen years. In addition to descriptions of all the principal methods to achieve low-capacity cryogenic refrigeration, this new volume contains a valuable guide to the literature sources, and references more advanced works. Physicists, chemists, and engineers concerned with low-temperature refrigeration will welcome this new book by an eminent authority in the subject.

DEFINITION AND NOMENCLATURE A Stirling engine is a mechanical device which operates on a closed regenerative thermodynamic cycle with cyclic compression and expansion of the working fluid at different temperature levels. The flow of working fluid is controlled only by the internal volume changes, there are no valves and, overall, there is a net conversion of heat to work or vice-versa. This generalized definition embraces a large family of machines with different functions; characteristics and configurations. It includes both rotary and reciprocating systems utilizing mechanisms of varying complexity. It covers machines capable of operating as a prime mover or power system converting heat supplied at high tempera­ ture to output work and waste heat at a lower temperature. It also covers work-consuming machines used as refrigerating systems and heat pumps abstracting heat from a low temperature source and delivering this plus the heat equivalent of the work consumed to a higher tem­ perature. Finally it covers work-consuming devices used as pressure­ generators compressing a fluid from a low pressure to a higher pres­ sure. Very similar machines exist which operate on an open regen­ erative cycle where the flow of working fluid is controlled by valves. For convenience these may be called Ericsson engines but unfortunate­ ly the distinction is not widely established and regenerative machines of both types are frequently called 'Stirling engines'.

This challengingly interactive book constantly encourages the reader to reassess his or her approach to management behaviour through a blend of theory and practical examples. Cases are drawn from businesses in Europe, the United States and Japan to back up the personal, interpersonal and communication skills theory covered. Each chapter of this book follows a five-step formula of skill preassessment, skill learning, skill analysis, skill practice and skill application, allowing the book to be used both by the management student and the practising manager. Included are activities which allow the reader to assess and practise management skills, discussions of underlying behavioural guidelines, examples of effective and ineffective applications of behavioural principles and simulations and role-playing scenarios.
