Summary

AN AUGER ROTATING INSIDE A BRASS TUBE REFRIGERATED WITH LIQUID HELIUM WAS USED TO PRODUCE LIQUID-SOLID (SLUSH) MIXTURES OF HYDROGEN AND OF OXYGEN. THE AUGER PRODUCED SMALL PARTICLES FROM THE CRYOGENS SO THAT THE RESULTING SLUSH MIXTURE COULD BE TRANSFERRED AND STORED. THE AUGER COULD PRODUCE SHUSH CONTINUOUSLY IN AN APPROPRIATE SYSTEM ; IT COULD PRODUCE SLUSH AT PRESSURES HIGHER THAN THE TRIPLE POINT PRESSURE OF THE CRYOGEN, AND THE ENERGY REQUIRED TO PRODUCE THE SLUSH WAS LESS THAN THE ENERGY REQUIRED TO PRODUCE SLUSH USING THE FREEZE-THAW PROCESS.
