Thermal stability of superconductors under the effect of a two‐dimensional hyperbolic heat conduction model

Abstract

The thermal stability of superconductor is numerically investigated under the effect of a two‐dimensional hyperbolic heat conduction model. Two types of superconductor wires are considered, Types II and I. The thermal stability of superconductor wires under the effect of different design, geometrical and operating conditions is studied. The Effect of the time rate of change of the disturbance and the disturbance duration time is investigated. Generally, it is found that wave model predicts a wider stability region as compared to the predictions of the classical diffusion model.
