Table 2.

Simulation results for a vial at T = 290 K and the TESU at 80 K, where a helium gas flow at 80 K is forced around the vial.

Q˙vial, Q˙TESU and Q˙outlet are the heat flows from the vial, TESU and carried by the flow, respectively. As a reference, evaluation of Eq. 1 for the same temperature difference yields 65.3 W.
