| Abstract | In this paper, the optimum copper to superconductor (Cu/Sc) ratio is calculated for composite superconductor operating at 1.9K. The goal is to guarantee the composite superconductor stabilizability via selecting the optimum Cu/Sc ratios associated to the maximum values of the minimum quench energy (MQE). All the calculations as well as the simulation studies are carried out based on the onecdimensional heat conduction formula of Dresner. It has been shown that the optimum values of the Cu/Sc ratio depend on the operating conditions concerning both the current density and the magnetic field. Furthermore, these optimum ratios are found to be feasible and acceptable from the economic view point in the manufacturing of the composite superconductor. Keywords: Optimum Cu/Sc ratio; Composite superconductor modelling; Guaranteed stabilization; MQE. |
