This work investigates plasma performance of DEMO plasmas in the presence of internal transport barrier. The study is conducted based on the simulation results carried out using a BALDUR integrated predictive modelling code. In these simulations, a combination of a neoclassical transport model NCLASS and an anomalous transport model Mixed B/gB is used. The boundary condition is described at...
Magnetic reconnection is a key energy converting and plasma mixing process that plays important roles in different plasma systems. However, the physics of this key plasma process is only partially understood. Recently, NASA has launched Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS), a group of four spacecrafts that use the earth magnetosphere as a laboratory, to specifically study physics of reconnection. ...
The thermoelectric material is a device that can generate electric energy from solar and waste thermal energies. On the other hand, It can generate temperature gradient from electric energy for cooling applications. Recently, researchers are interested in the synthesis of thermoelectric material by using microwave furnace. The efficiency of thermoelectric materials can be increased by...
Precision diagnostics of X-ray density and energy in the plasma focus device need high-speed devices which are very complicated and expensive. The multiple PIN diodes, a cost effective light detector, can be used to detect the pulse X-ray which are produced by the TPF-II, a 3.3 kJ dense plasma focus. The detectors are covered by difference thickness and type of X-ray filter materials such as...
Low pressure plasma is one of the most widely used mechanisms for processing materials especially to modify their surface properties. The application of low pressure plasma in agricultural sector has also been realized. In this research, low pressure plasma was generated at radio-frequency and about 2.0 mbar in a vertical plasma reactor. The reactor is to facilitate plasma treatment of very...
