According to the requirement of the physics design, sixteen horizontal ports on outboard mid-plane and thirty-two vertical ports on the top and bottom are designed for diagnostics, plasma heating, current driving, vacuum pumping and gas puffing. Bellows on these ports are used for flexible components to absorb the relative displacement in radial and vertical directions due to the external load, thermal expansion or contraction, assembly toleration and as well as for isolation of mechanical vibration. Some three-dimension finite element COSMOS models were performed to analysis its structural strength, stiffness and fatigue life, laying the emphasis on these bellows static stress analysis. The load case spectra during vacuum vessel operation were also simulated on a model from the view of fatigue design. It was confirmed that these bellows have sufficient strength in range of the design load conditions. The results showed the bellows peak stress was 87 MPa and its fatigue cumulative usage factor was only 0.01, which was less than critical value of 1. Now all kinds of bellows have been designed. In order to accumulate some engineering experiences and probe into some molding die and welding technologies, a prototypical bellows have been fabricated. At the same time a mechanical testing apparatus was designed for proof tests on the prototypical bellows to verify its functional and structure capability. The experimental data indicated that the results of finite element analysis were coincident with experimental test results. It has been proved that the present vacuum vessel's bellows are reasonable and feasible.","PeriodicalId":44192,"journal":{"name":"NINETEENTH CENTURY MUSIC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84156182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus these anode modulator power supplies control the out put power of the devices. Main input for both the power supplies is derived from the cathode power supply. A -2 kV bias power supply is connected between the modulator output and anode terminal to suppress dark current. The output pulse duration is adjustable from 50 msec. to 1000 sec. by the control system. The oil cooled tetrode YU155 is used as shunt voltage regulator in the klystron anode modulator power supply. A potential divider is made with the tetrode as a series element.

Improved error field correction coupled with plasma rotation has resulted in a passive wall stabilized discharge at twice the no-wall beta limit. Active feedback stabilization of the resistive wall mode (RWM) has been improved using newly installed internal magnetic sensors and external control coils. A set of internal control coils for RWM feedback has been designed that should permit operation at close to the ideal limit. Real-time stabilization of the neoclassical tearing mode has been achieved using a new \"search and suppress\" control algorithm coupled with electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD). The ECCD system is routinely providing in excess of 2 MW of power for 2 s pulses. Modeling predicts that measured efficiencies of ECCD are consistent with future, fully non-inductive AT target discharges. Massive injection of Ar gas has resulted in successful mitigation of disruptions in high performance discharges without producing high energy runaway electrons. Finally, an upgraded digital plasma control system will provide significantly more capability to provide real time measurement and control of plasma profiles and instabilities.","PeriodicalId":44192,"journal":{"name":"NINETEENTH CENTURY MUSIC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79355925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experiment will be built at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and utilize some ancillary equipment. The NCSX stellarator core is a complex assembly of four coil systems which provide the magnetic field for plasma shaping and position control, inductive current drive, and field error correction. The primary magnets are the modular coils, which provide up to 2-T at an average major radius of 1.4-m. Other magnets include toroidal field (TF) coils, poloidal field (PF) coils, and trim coils, which can be used to control resonant field errors. The magnets are supported by an integral shell structure, which also serves as the winding form for the modular coils. The coils and structure have been evaluated for thermal stress and electromagnetic loads during normal operating conditions. The results indicate that the performance of the modular coil system is acceptable.","PeriodicalId":44192,"journal":{"name":"NINETEENTH CENTURY MUSIC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89489866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there are a few issues for reducing of hydrogen included in boron film and for stabilizing of DC glow discharge cleaning (GDC) during the boronization. To solve the issues, a new boronization method using deuterated-decaborane (B/sub 10/D/sub 14/) was adopted instead of the conventional B/sub 10/H/sub 14/. As a result, hydrogen content in the boron film decreased clearly, and the discharge conditioning shots for decreasing hydrogen concentration in plasmas after the boronization was reduced to 1/10 in comparison to the conventional process. Furthermore, GDC became stable, with only helium dilution gas, and it was possible to save 30 hours in maximum of the time necessary for boronization.
