Fusion power core engineering for the ARIES-ST power plant
Mark S. Tillack,X.R. Wang,J. Pulsifer,Siegfried Malang,D.K. Sze,Michael C. Billone,I.N. Sviatoslavsky +6 more
TL;DR: The details of the power core design are presented together with analysis of the thermal–hydraulic, thermomechanical and materials behavior of in-vessel components for an advanced helium-cooled ferritic steel blanket with flowing PbLi breeder and tungsten plasma-interactive components.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The scientific justification for this work is a family of target designs (simulations) that show that direct drive has the potential to provide the high gains needed for a pure-fusion power plant.
Journal ArticleDOI
ARIES-ST breeding blanket design and analysis
TL;DR: The ARIES-ST is a 1000 MW fusion power plant conceptual design based on a low aspect ratio "spherical torus" (ST) plasma as discussed by the authors, which uses an advanced breeding blanket with flowing PbLi breeder and He-cooled ferritic steel structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
MERLOT: a model for flow and heat transfer through porous media for high heat flux applications
A.R. Raffray,J. Pulsifer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a comprehensive thermo-fluid model including all key heat transfer processes to help in assessing and optimizing a helium-cooled porous media configuration for plasma facing component application.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integration of thin layers of single-crystalline InP with flexible substrates
TL;DR: In this paper, an InP layer was first transferred onto sapphire using adhesive bonding and hydrogen-induced layer exfoliation at ∼180°C, followed by UV laser ablation of the first adhesive to separate the initial bond.
