Performance Analysis of Low-power Tokamak Reactors
Global models are useful in the analysis of fusion reactors due to the facility in computing and presenting the results in terms of comprehensive parameters. A general figure of merit, which encompasses all the relevant tokamak parameters, is introduced in this article by a convenient normalization of the global power balance equation. In this way, different hypothetical tokamak reactors can be...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Rf-driven Steady State Tokamak Power Reactors
The use of lower hybrid waves for current drive in steady state tokamak power reactors is studied. Constraints imposed by rf wave propagation are considered in detail. The effect of decoupling of electron and ion temperatures is studied and is found to enhance significantly the ratio of fusion power to dissipated power. Tradeoffs for parameters of rf driven steady state reactors are determined....
متن کاملCharacteristics of Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heated Tokamak Power Reactors
A set of constraints is derived for the operating characteristics of tokamak power reactors which are bulk heated by electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH). Four heating modes are considered: ordinary wave heating at the electron cyclotron frequency, 0, and at the second harmonic frequency, 20, and extraordinary wave heating at 0 and at 20. For ordinary wave heating at 1, which appears to ...
متن کاملBurning Plasma Simulation and Environmental Assessment of Tokamak, Spherical Tokamak and Helical Reactors
Reference 1-GWe D-T reactors; tokamak TR-1, spherical tokamak ST-1 and helical HR-1 reactors, are designed using PEC (Physics Engineering Cost) code, and thier plasma behaviors with Internal Transport Barrier (ITB) operations are analyzed using TOTAL (Toroidal Transport Analysis Linkage) code, which clarifies the requirement of deep penetration of pellet fueling to realize steady-state advanced...
