Fusion Power Density and Radiation Losses Characteristics for Tritium Fusion Reactions

Abstract

A new data for Fusion power density has been obtained for T-3He and T-T fusion reactions, power density is a substantial term in the researches related to the fusion energy generation and ignition calculations of magnetic confined systems. In the current work, thermal nuclear reactivities, power densities of a fusion reactors and the ignition condition inquiry are achieved by using a new and accurate formula of cross section, the maximum values of fusion power density for T-3He and TT reaction are 1.1×107 W/m3 at T=700 KeV and 4.7×106 W/m3 at T=500 KeV respectively, While Zeff suggested to be 1.44 for the two reactions. Bremsstrahlung radiation has also been determined to reaching self- sustaining reactors, Bremsstrahlung values are 4.5×106 W/m3 at T=700 MeV and 3.8×106 W/m3 at T=500 MeV for T-3He and TT reaction respectively, ignation values then are 136 KeV for T-T and 155 KeV for T-3He. So small Zeff mean small ignition and large fusion power. Tritium Fusion Reactions have large ignition temperature than deuterium reactions.

Lawson Criterion Analysis of D-3He Fusion Reaction

“…The Lawson criteria without bremsstrahlung radiation have lower values compared to with radiation. This indicates that the radiation increases the confinement time, and plasma density required to reach the ignition stage [12]. The Lawson criterion values are around × 10 15 s/cm 3 , this aligns well with the calculations from reference [13].…”
