Summary
Cryogenics is an expansive technical topic that can easily fill a standalone text under the same title. This chapter is not intended to replace the extensive technical content that may be found in contemporary cryogenics engineering texts [1‒6]. Its goal is, rather, to provide the reader with some technical insights into basic cryothermal topics that arise in the design of cryogenic systems for space applications.
