Abstract :
A mathematical model of the gas-cooled, resistive portion of a binary current lead has been developed. An analytical solution of the time-dependent differential equations for the resistive portion of the forced flow cooled current lead is presented which allows one to calculate the evolution of the temperature profile and voltage drop. A comparison of analytical with numerical calculations and a comparison of the calculations with experimental data are given.
