Cryogenic viscous pump analysis based on hemisphere model

Abstract

Cryogenic viscous pump (CVP) is also known as fore pump that are mainly designed for the separation of hydrogen isotopes from the helium during the process of regeneration of cryo- pumps. This model will determine the amount of hydrogen which is extracted by supercritical helium cooled pump. It also includes flow rates and inlet conditions that are related to the hydrogen gas flow. This hemisphere model (HM) determines the amount and location which are extracted by the pump as the function of time. During the development of this model the calibration check done for its results, later it has been compared with the measurements of CFP prototype. At the result of this model, it will demonstrate the quantity of hydrogen which is very sensitive to the inlet temperature that is found outside of the Cryopump. Finally, this model will represent the efficient outcome.
