Education University of Hyderabad sets up liquid helium plant Our Bureau
Hyderabad , Dec. 26 SCIENTIFIC research required to be done at very low temperatures is set to get a major boost, especially in universities with a new liquid helium plant set up at the University of Hyderabad here. The university has joined a select band of Indian institutions to set up a liquid helium plant. Commissioned recently, the plant can produce liquid helium at the rate of 10-40 litres per hour. The plant at the School of Physics, will be part of the low temperature and high magnetic field facility to be set up at the university under the Department of Science and Technology sponsored project. The facility will enable researchers to carry out experiments at very low temperatures of the order of 4 degrees Kelvin( -269 degrees Celsius). In addition, it would also facilitate experiments involving magnetic fields as high as 80,000 Oersted in phase one and 140,000 Oersteds in phase two. The university has emerged as one of the top Indian universities in scientific research and also in attracting research funding. From a level of Rs 24 crore at the beginning of the Tenth Five-year Plan, it has reached Rs 120 crore by the end of 2005. The Department's of Science and Technology, Biotechnology, the University Grants Commission and the Defence Research and Development Organisation have liberally provided research grants for specific projects.
