氘氚燃烧等离子体的热不稳定性计算

由于氘氚反应率与离子温度有很强的依赖关系，氘氚燃烧等离子体是热不稳定的。讨论了描述稳态氘氚燃烧等离子体功率平衡方程的非线性特征。利用打靶方法，可以求得态温度分布和关于温度微扰方程的本征值。可是，由上述方法得出的平衡解会与随时间变化方程在ｔ→∞时的解不一致，这是一类未解决非线性数学问题的一个典型例子。

Structure–phase transformations and physical properties of ferritic–martensitic 12% chromium steels EK-181 and ChS-139

The thermophysical properties (specific heat, thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, linear thermal expansion coefficient, density) of 12% chromium ferritic–martensitic steels EK-181 (RUSFER-EK-181) and ChS-139 and the structure–phase transformations that occur in them upon heating and cooling in the temperature range 20–1100°C are studied. The temperatures of the start and finish of the α → γ and γ → α transformations in these steels and the Curie temperature are determined by differential scanning calorimetry. Peaks in the temperature dependence of the specific heat and jumplike changes in the linear thermal expansion coefficient and the density and the minimum of thermal diffusivity are detected in the α → γ transformation range. Specific heat peaks, thermal conductivity minima, and inflection points in thermal diffusivity curves are also observed near the Curie temperature.     

Characteristics of electron heat transport of plasma with an electron internal-transport barrier in the large helical device

Associated with the transition from ion root to electron root, an electron internal transport barrier (ITB) appears in the large helical device, when the heating power of electron cyclotron resonance heating exceeds the threshold power. The incremental thermal diffusivity of electron heat transport chi(inc)(e) in the ITB plasma is much lower than that in the plasma with the heating power below the threshold, and the thermal diffusivity chi(e) decreases with increasing of heating power [dchi(e)/d(P/n(e))<0] in helical ITB plasmas.     

Plasma Performance of the Central Cell of a Cat-D Tandem Mirror Reactor

A particle and power balance assessment of the central cell of a conceptual D-D tandem mirror reactor (TMR) is carried out using a two-dimensional (2-D) Fokker-Planck code and a zero-dimensional (0-D) simulation code. The two computational models produce excellent agreement except for the mean triton energy, the difference in which can be attributed to the fact that the 2-D code considers the long slowing-down time of the tritium. It is demonstrated that for an ion confining potential between 200 and 300 keV, a) the central cell of a catalyzed-deuterium (Cat-D) fueled TMR can achieve ignition in the temperature range of 40-60 keV, b) the alpha ash buildup must be strictly controlled to obtain an economical ratio of electrostatic confining potential to central-cell temperature ?/T, allowing the exhaust tritium to beta decay to helium-3 prior to reinjection results in roughly the same net electrical power output, and c) injecting extra tritium beyond that bred in the plasma allows a drop in the minimum ion confining potential required for ignition. It is shown that the ion confining potential is minimized when Tic, = 50 keV; this results in a plasma Q of 26. A quantitative comparison with a D-T reactor scenario is presented. It is shown that under ideal operating conditions, a conceptual Cat-D TMR has a 35-40 percent higher power conversion efficiency than a D-T device; this must be weighed against the higher temperature and plugging requirements of Cat-D.     

聚变等离子体中的快离子压强

本文运用Fokker-Planck方程的慢化近似,考虑存在多种离子成份(包括杂质),假定它们具有共同的温度,我们得到了聚变产生的快离子压强的简单封闭形式表示式。表明在典型的工作温度下(～60keV),D-~3He等离子体中聚变产生的快离子压强约为本底热压强的20％,这与D-T等离子体工作在20keV时的比值几乎相同。因此,D-~3He和D-T在它们相应的预期工作温度下,它们各自的快离子压强对总压强的影响是类似的,然而在更高的温度下,这个比值将变得更大。

High-Q Thermally Stable Operation of a Tokamak Reactor

Thermally stable subignited operation of a tokamak reactor, sustained in operation by a feedback-controlled supplementary heating source, is discussed. One-dimensional (radial) thermal stability analyses of model transport equations, together with numerical results from a one-dimensional (1-D) transport code, are used in studying the heating of deuterium-tritium (D-T) plasmas in the thermonuclear regime. The establishment of stability depends on a number of radially nonuniform nonlinear processes whose effect is analyzed. Nonuniform heat deposition resulting from plasma core supplementary heating is found to be a thermally more stable process than bulk heating. In the presence of impurity line radiation, however, core-heated temperature profiles may collapse, contracting inward from the limiter, the result of a radiation-induced instability. The effect of nonuniform transport coefficients is also discussed. Conditions are established for the realization of a subignited high-Q (Q ? 50) toroidal reactor plasma with appreciable output power (?2000 MW thermal).

Influence of dynamic tissue properties on temperature elevation and lesions during HIFU scanning therapy:Numerical simulation

When large tumors are treated,ablation of the entire volume of tumors requires multiple treatment spots formed by high intensity-focused ultrasound(HIFU)scanning therapy.The heating effect of HIFU on biological tissue is mainly reflected in temperature elevation and tissue lesions.Tissue property parameters vary with temperature and,in turn,the distribution of temperature as well as the heating effects change accordingly.In this study,an HIFU scanning therapy model considering dynamic tissue properties is provided.The acoustic fields and temperature fields are solved combining the Helmholtz wave equation with Pennes bio-heat transfer equation based on the finite element method(FEM)to investigate the effects of various tissue properties(i.e.,the attenuation coefficient,acoustic velocity,thermal conductivity,specific heat capacity,density,and blood perfusion rate)on heating performance.Comparisons of the temperature distribution and thermal lesions under static and dynamic properties are made based on the data of tissue property parameters varying with temperature.The results show that the dynamic changes of thermal conductivity,specific heat capacity,and acoustic velocity may account for the decrease of temperature elevation in HIFU treatment,while the dynamic changes of attenuation coefficient,density,and blood perfusion rate aggravate the increase of temperature on treatment spots.Compared with other properties,the dynamic change of attenuation coefficient has a greater impact on tissue temperature elevation.During HIFU scanning therapy,the temperature elevation and tissue lesions of the first treatment spot are smaller than those of the subsequent treatment spots,but the temperature on the last treatment spot drops faster during the cooling period.The ellipsoidal tissue lesion is not symmetrical;specifically,the part facing toward the previous treatment spot tends to be larger.Under the condition of the same doses,the temperature elevation and the size of tissue lesions under dynamic properties present significant growth in comparison to static properties.Besides,the tissue lesion begins to form earlier with a more unsymmetrical shape and is connected to the tissue lesion around the previous treatment spot.As a result,lesions around all the treatment spots are connected with each other to form a closed lesion region.The findings in this study reveal the influence of dynamic tissue properties on temperature elevation and lesions during HIFU scanning therapy,providing useful support for the optimization of treatment programs to guarantee higher efficacy and safety.
