Determination of optimum conditions in ITER tokamak by using zero-dimensional model

Abstract

The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) tokamak can generate fusion energy in an acceptable method. In this study, the particle and energy equations were developed for ${\text{T}}\left( {{\text{D}},n} \right){}^{4}{\text{He}}$, ${\text{D}}\left( {{\text{D}},n} \right){}^{3}{\text{He}}$, ${\text{D}}\left( {{\text{D}},p} \right){\text{T}}$, and ${}^{3}{\text{He}}\left( {{\text{D}},p} \right){}^{4}{\text{He}}$ fusion reactions and optimum conditions were determined to achieve the maximum gain using differing mixtures of fuel. Also, the particle and energy equations were solved using the zero-dimensional model, and the ITER90H-P plasma parameters were calculated by the numerical methods. The possibility regarding the presence of impurities was ignored in all our calculations.
