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....
