Cryogenics - Origin
The word Cryogenic origins from the Greek , meaning “production of freezing cold”.
Branch of physics and Engineering involving study of very low temp. , how to produce and how materials behave at those temperature.
HISTORY
Space travel was developed by the Russians and the Americans. Russian’s were the first to reach space.
During World war II , cryogenics advanced . Metals frozen to low temp. showed more resistance to wear.
1st operational cryogenic engine – used in 1950’s the RL-10(in V2 Rocket).
Liquid propellants are used in current rockets.
Introduction A cryogenic engine is a rocket engine that uses a cryogenic fuel or oxidizer , that is, its fuel or oxidizer are gasses liquefied and stored at very low temperatures.
Rocket engines need high mass flow rate of both oxidizer and fuel to generate a sufficient thrust.
The liquid oxygen (LOX) oxidizer and liquid hydrogen (LH2) fuel combination is one of the most widely used.

Construction The major components of a cryogenic rocket engine
are:a) Combustion chamberb) Pyrotechnic igniters'c) Fuel injectord) Fuel turbo-pumpse) Gas turbinef) Control valvesg) Regulatorsh) The fuel tanksi) Rocket engine nozzle
Working
It involves a complicated ‘staged combustion cycle' to increase the engine
efficiency.
Hydrogen is partially burnt with a little oxygen in a gas generator. The hot
gases drive a turbo-pump and are then injected at high pressure into the
thrust chamber where the rest of oxygen is introduced and full combustion
takes place.
Before going to the gas generator, the incredibly chilly liquid hydrogen is
used to cool the thrust chamber where temperatures rise to over 3,0000 °
Celsius when the engine is fired.
Advantages
High Energy per unit mass
Clean Fuels
Economical
Disadvantages
Highly reactive gases
Leakage
Zero Gravity Condition
Hydrogen Embrittlement
Applications of Cryogenics
i. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
ii. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
iii. Electric power transmission in big cities
iv. Frozen food
v. Forward looking infrared (FLIR)
vi. Special effects

considerably longer since the Cryogenic Treatment enhances the wear properties of the brass tumblers inside the locks.
Lawn tools and Lawn Mower Blades will stay sharp longer and require less effort to re-sharpen.
Future projects By India The ISRO proposed to launch Chandrayan-II
in 2017.
Development of Semi-cryogenic by LPSC of ISRO in Mahendragiri with the success of GSLV-D5.
India’s Achievement
Successful launch of GSLV-D5 on January 5th 2014.
Reason for previous failure : The GSLV D5 rocket had a leak in its liquid tank .
After toiling 20 years India developed the C.E-20 ,C.E-7.5 Cryogenic engine.
ConclusionCurrently only the
United States (SSME , J2 , RL-10 , RS-68 , RS-83)Russia ( (RD-0120 , RD-0146)China( YF-50t , YF-73 ,YF-75 , YF-77)FranceJapan(LE-7 / 7A , LE-5 / 5A / 5B) and India (CE-7.5 , CE-20) have mastered cryogenic rocket technology .
Finally the world of cryogenics is quite a lot useful and
