Download or read book Feasibility and Operational Limits for a 236 GHz Hollow-Cavity Gyrotron for DEMO written by Kalaria, Parth Chandulal and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The DEMOnstration fusion power plant (DEMO) will be the first fusion reactor, which is intended to generate net electrical power. For successful operation of DEMO, high-power gyrotrons with operating frequencies up to 240 GHz are required for plasma heating and stabilization. In this work, a systematic feasibility study and tolerance analysis are performed for the conventional-type hollow-cavity DEMO gyrotrons. The various approaches are also suggested to identify its operational limits.
