Summary

Predictions based on the well known cryogenic stability criterion for the permissible ratio of transport to critical current density of high critical temperature superconductors are compared with a transient analysis. The results demonstrate that calculation of the transient "temperature history" of the superconductor after a thermal disturbance, as well as knowledge of the magnitude of this disturbance, is necessary when designing a conductor for a particular application. An analysis like the one presented allows one to calculate more accurately heat transfer by using the transient temperature difference between superconductor and coolant.
