A steady-state L-mode tokamak fusion reactor : large scale and minimum scale
… analysis on the physics of L-mode tokamak fusion reactors to identify (1) a favorable parameter space for a large scale steady-state reactor and (2) an operating point for a minimum scale steady-state reactor. The identification of the large scale parameter space is part of the 2008 MIT …

Mechanical properties of materials for fusion power plants
Fusion power is the production of electricity from a hot plasma of deuterium and tritium, reacting to produce particles and 14 MeV neutrons, which are collected by a cooling system. Their kinetic energy is transformed into heat and electricity via steam turbines. The constant ux of neutrons on the …

Quantification of membrane transport rates using optofluidics
… assumed. Integrating OLA and PFF allows for controlled fusion between oppositely charged vesicles on a single microfluidic device, enabling the sequential assembly of advanced membrane models directly on-chip. Next, we develop computational image processing algorithms to quantify transport in …

Experimental and numerical analysis of thermoelectric magnetohydrodynamic driven liquid lithium flow in open channels for fusion applications
… isotopes recycling and absorb the impurities in fusion reactors. The Lithium/Metal Infused Trench (LiMIT) concept successfully demonstrated that the thermoelectric effect can drive liquid lithium flow within horizontally placed metallic open trenches when an external magnetic field is transverse …

Physics of RF heating systems on proto-MPEX
Realizing controlled fusion as a commercial energy source is faced with many challenges. One of the main challenges being the development of Plasma Facing Components (PFC) that can survive the extreme environment encountered in a fusion reactor. To expedite the testing and development of PFCs Oak …
