Dr. Flynn's four-day Cryogenic Engineering short course is being offered for the 28th year, this time on the beautiful University of Colorado at Boulder campus (not sponsored by or partnered with CU), August 3–6, 2009. The course is based on Dr. Flynn's 900-page book, Cryogenic Engineering–Principles and Practices. Each student receives a copy of this valuable reference and practical guide to cryogenic engineering.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

Course Syllabus

Text: Cryogenic Engineering, 2nd Edition, Dr. Thomas M. Flynn, Taylor and Francis, 2005, hardcover. Total 900 pages, 45% increase over first edition; 130 new figures of data, 14% increase; 130 new tables of data, 19% increase; 125 new references. Altogether, the 2nd edition contains 230 more pages of information than the earlier edition. The 2nd edition was written to follow closely this cryogenic engineering professional course given annually by Dr. Flynn for twenty-six years. Each student receives his own copy of the book.

Course Notes: "Cryogenic Engineering," 3-ring notebook compiled and updated by the instructors, contains over 700 pages of hard-to-find information and complete notes for each lecture.

Dr. Thomas M. Flynn, P.E., has worked in Cryogenics for over 50 years. He has published more than 60 articles on Cryogenics in the peer reviewed literature. He is coauthor of the textbook Cryogenic Process Engineering (Plenum Press) and sole author of Cryogenic Engineering–Principles and Practices (MarcelDekker Press, 1996) and the new second edition (Taylor and Francis, 2005). His expertise includes thermodynamics, cryocoolers, cryogenic instrumentation, low temperature material properties, cryogenic fluid properties, and applied superconductivity. Dr. Flynn worked for 28 years in the Cryogenic Engineering Laboratory of the National Bureau of Standards in Boulder, Colorado. He has taught Cryogenic Engineering for over 40 years at such institutions as the University of Colorado, the University of California at Los Angeles, and Arizona State University. Dr. Flynn is a certified NASA safety instructor for liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen systems. He has been honored on several occasions as one of the top 10 instructors in the UCLA Extension Program. Dr. Flynn is a working engineer who brings a vast background of practical current experience to the course.

Mr. David Roth has taught Cryogenic Engineering in-house with Dr. Flynn at NASA Stennis, Johnson, Kennedy, Ames, Dryden, and Lewis Centers, and to the US Air Force at McClellan, Edwards, and Arnold AFB.

Dr. Peter C. Lukens has worked in the fields of vacuum and cryogenics for 20 years. His areas of expertise include: Closed-cycle cryogenic refrigerators, vacuum system design, residual gas analysis and leak detection. His resume includes 10 patents and 12 years of research and development in the scientific instruments, aerospace and semiconductor sectors. He is a Principal Consultant with Vacuum and Cryogenic Consultants, LLC, and is based in Oceanside, California.

Student Comments: "You can't get information like this in one place anywhere else in the world." "Great course." "A very valuable experience." "I learned more in these 4 days than an entire semester at the university." "Dr. Flynn has an obvious mastery of cryogenics and was very effective in getting important points across. The training was very helpful." "I really enjoyed the learning experience and active participation just helps to enhance the experience. I found the class to be very informative. The class was like a crash course in getting experience. When I returned to my workplace, I put the information to work immediately."

Hotel: There is no "Headquarters Hotel" since the course will be held on the University of Colorado–Boulder campus. Hotel reservations are entirely up to you. Boulder is a vacation destination in the summer, so please make your reservations early or risk staying farther away. Boulder has many excellent places to stay. Within walking distance to the campus are The Boulder Outlook Hotel, Best Western Boulder Inn, the Millennium Hotel, and Marriott-Boulder. See also hotel-guides.us/colleges/colorado/university-colorado-boulder.html, which gives distances to the campus from these and many other hotels.

Fees: $3,750.00 per student. Advance registration is highly advised because: (1) Boulder is a summer vacation destination and accommodations fill up rapidly, and (2) We print a 700-page book of course notes and hard-to-find data for each student. Register on or before July 24 to guarantee that a copy of the course notes will be in your hands at the start of class. If registering after July 24, please call first. PAYMENT or P.O. to CRYOCO, Inc., 511 Adams Ave., Louisville, CO 80027-2241. Check, P.O. Number, or some valid indication of payment MUST accompany registration. (EIN 84 130 1160.)
