Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion: Volume 1 (2nd edition)(Chinese Edition)

Paperback. Pub Date: 2010 Pages: 421 Language: English Publisher: World Publishing Company In the nine years since this book was first written. rapid progress has been made scientifically in nuclear fusion. space physics and nonlinear plasma theory. At the same time. the energy shortage on the one hand and the exploration of Jupiter and Saturn on the other have increased the national awareness of the important applications of plasma physics to energy production and to the understanding of our space environment. In magnetic confinement fusion . this period has seen the attainment of a Lawson number nTE of 2 1013 cm-3 sec in the A! cator tokamaks at MIT; neutral-beam heating of the PLT tokamak at Princeton to KTi = 6.5 keV; increase of average to 3 % -5% in tokamaks at Oak Ridge and General Atomic; and the stabilization of mirror-confined plasmas at Livermore. together with in...
