This allows for a reduction in the computational time and, at the same time, accurate approximations of the intricate physics involved in fusion reactors. However, ROM techniques are relatively new within the MHD framework, and benchmark test cases should be considered in this first stage for verification and validation. Therefore, this study applies the ROM methodology to a MHD scenario to study their potentialities (and eventual criticalities) for this class of problems. The benchmark test case considered in this work is the Backward-Facing Step.

In this paper a new concept of finned permeator is analysed, leveraging the analogy between mass transport and heat transfer. In PAV and HPS, the low-pressure side is usually kept under medium/high vacuum conditions and surface phenomena can play an important role, especially when the membrane presents oxidation. The fin approach is particularly effective in these cases, where transport kinetics is dominated by surface effects (diffusion in the bulk is relatively fast) and can be used as a method to increase the permeation of hydrogen isotopes with limited increase in system size. Within the paper, the mathematical model for the extended surface placed on the vacuum side is derived and simple relations for design parameters for the finned surface, like fin efficiency and effectiveness, are derived.

NBIs require a powerful Gas Vacuum System (GVS) in order to operate, and any simplification to this element has a positive impact on the wall-plug efficiency of the NBI, as well as on the overall procurement. In this paper, new design concepts that rely on the Gaede effect are proposed for the neutralizer: their objective is the reduction of the gas conductance through the component by means of appropriate shaping of the internal walls, while maintaining enough clearance for the fast beam to pass through. In this way, the same gas target can be achieved with a reduced neutral gas input, decreasing the throughput that the GVS must be able to evacuate. This work gives a description of the application of this concept to the Divertor Tokamak Test (DTT)’s own NBI, which has been carried out by comparing different design options by means of several simulations with various vacuum codes.

The corrosion of 316L austenitic steel was negligibly small in liquid LiPb at 573 K regardless of the tensile stress loadings. The corrosion was caused by the dissolution of alloying elements (i.e., Fe, Cr and Ni) on the surface of specimens exposed to liquid LiPb at 773 K without the tensile stress loadings.
