Problem 10. Controlled nuclear fusion could make an important contribution to energy supply in the future and is therefore intensively researched in plasma physics. In the following, you should see the investigation of the fusion of the two hydrogen isotopes, Deuterium (H ) and Tritium, (H), because of the fusion, a Helium Core is created. He and a neutron n. The response can be represented as, E denotes the energy released during the fusion in the form of kinetic energy. the Rest masses of the particles and nuclei are: Deuterium nucleus: kg Tritium core: kg Helium core: kg Neutron: kg (A) Calculate the energy E released during a single nuclear fusion by the above reaction. Determine the proportions of energy attributable to the helium nucleus and the neutron and for the case that the initial kinetic energy of the hydrogen isotopes is negligible. Give your results in the unit MeV with J at. For the fusion reaction ot take place, the hydrogen nuclei have to come close enough together. This can be achieved by putting an electrically neutral gas of isotopes to a very high temperature. The gas then becomes completely ionized and becomes plasma. (B) Estimate how high the temperature of the plasma must be at least so that the hydrogen nuclei can come together at a distance of less than m and thus one Fusion reaction becomes possible. Assume that all the nuclei of an isotope correspond to move with the same amount of speed. In fact, the amount of speed of the nucleus is not the same for all. As a result of that, some nuclei have more kinetic energy than others, the nuclear fusion can also initiate with lower temperatures. In the following, consider a plasma that is divided equally into deuterium and tritium nuclei with a particle density of . The temperature of the plasma is K. In order to keep the plasma at these high temperatures and thus to maintain the nuclear fusion over a longer period of time, the energy losses of the plasma must be compensated. The electrically neutral neutrons released during the fusion leave the plasma very quickly and its kinetic energy is no longer available to the plasma. In addition, there is a loss of energy through radiation and transport. The total resulting power loss can be expressed with the help of the internal thermal energy of the plasma U and the so-called Express energy containment time by You can assume that the plasma behaves in a good approximation like an ideal gas and for use the value s for the energy containment time. The helium nuclei generated during the fusion, on the other

German Physics Olympiad 2021 11th Final Round 2 hand, remain in the plasma and their kinetic energy heats the plasma. The heating power is a function of the nuclear reaction rate density r, i.e. the mean number of fusion reactions per unit of time and volume, the plasma volume V and the kinetic energy of the helium nuclei and amounts to (C) Determine the mean nuclear reaction rate density r for the plasma at constant temperature. Note that the plasma, which is electrically neutral as a whole, is not only ions but also contains electrons. For the technical use of nuclear fusion, it is important to maintain the temperature. It is also necessary to spatially enclose the plasma for as long as possible. To compensate for the Plasma pressure and thus to contain the plasma, a magnetic field is applied. Of the The pressure generated by this field can be estimated in a simplified manner using the magnetic express the table flux density B and (occurring numerical factors can be set to 1 will). (D) Estimate how large the magnetic flux density B has to be in order to produce the described plasma.

Give your results in the unit MeV with J at. Per la reazione di fusione che ha luogo, i nuclei di idrogeno devono venire abbastanza vicino insieme. Questo può essere raggiunto mettendo un gas elettricamente neutro di isotopi a una temperatura molto alta. Il gas diventa completamente ionizzato e diventa plasma. (B) Estimare quanto alta la temperatura del plasma deve essere almeno in modo che i nuclei di idrogeno può venire insieme a una distanza di meno di m e quindi una reazione di fusione diventa

  • Potrebbe essere. Supponiamo che tutti i nuclei di un isotopo corrispondano a muoversi con la stessa quantità di velocità. Infatti, la velocità del nucleo non è la stessa per tutti. Come risultato di ciò, alcuni nuclei Se i nuclei hanno più energia cinetica di altri, la fusione nucleare può anche iniziare con temperature più basse. In following, considerate un plasma che è diviso equamente in deuterium e tritium nuclei with a particle density of . La temperatura del plasma è K. Per mantenere il plasma a queste temperature elevate E quindi per mantenere la fusione nucleare per un periodo di tempo più lungo, le perdite energetiche del plasma devono essere
  • il pagamento di un’importo di circa il 50%. I neutroni elettricamente neutri rilasciati durante la fusione lasciano il plasma molto rapidamente e il suo kinetico energia non è più disponibile per il plasma. Inoltre, c’è una perdita di energia attraverso la radiazione e Trasporti. Il totale di perdita di potenza risultante può essere espresso con l’aiuto dell’energia termica interna di plasma U e il cosiddetto tempo di contenimento di energia espresso Si può supporre che il plasma si comporta in una buona approssimazione come un gas ideale e per utilizzare il valore s per il tempo di contenimento dell’energia.

Problem number ten. Controlled nuclear fusion could make an important contribution to energy supply in the future and is therefore intensively researched in plasma physics. In the following, you should see the investigation of the fusion of the two hydrogen isotopes, deuterium (H) and tritium, (H), because of the fusion, a helium core is created. He and a neutron n. The response can be represented as, E denotes the energy released during the fusion in the form of kinetic energy. The rest of the particles and nuclei are: Deuterium nucleus: kg Tritium core: kg Helium core: kg Neutron: kg (A) Calculate the energy E released during a single nuclear fusion by the above reaction. Determine the proportions of energy attributable to the helium nucleus and the neutron and for the case that The initial kinetic energy of the hydrogen isotopes is negligible. Give your results in the unit MeV with J at. For the fusion reaction to take place, the hydrogen nuclei have to come close enough together. This can be achieved by putting an electrically neutral gas of isotopes to a very high temperature. The gas then becomes completely ionized and becomes plasma. (B) Estimate how high the temperature of the plasma must be at least so that the hydrogen nuclei can come together at a distance of less than m and thus one fusion reaction becomes It is possible. Assume that all the nuclei of an isotope correspond to move with the same amount of speed. In fact, the amount of speed of the nucleus is not the same for all. As a result of that, some nuclei If nuclear fusion can also start at lower temperatures, it can also start at lower temperatures. In the following, consider a plasma that is divided equally into deuterium and tritium nuclei with a particle density of . The temperature of the plasma is K. In order to keep the plasma at these high temperatures The energy losses of the plasma must be maintained over a longer period of time. The Commission will be compensated. The electrically neutral neutrons released during the fusion leave the plasma very quickly and its kinetic The plasma is no longer available. In addition, there is a loss of energy through radiation and The transportation system. The total resulting power loss can be expressed with the help of the internal thermal energy of the plasma U and the so-called Express energy containment time by You can assume that the plasma behaves in a good approximation like an ideal gas and for use the value s for the energy containment time. The helium nuclei generated during the fusion, on the other hand,

German Physics Olympiad 2021 11th Final Round 2 Hand, remain in the plasma and their kinetic energy heats the plasma. The heating power is a function of the nuclear reaction rate density r, i.e. the mean number of fusion reactions per unit of time and volume, the plasma volume V and the kinetic energy of the helium nuclei and amounts to (C) Determine the mean nuclear reaction rate density r for the plasma at constant temperature. Note that the plasma, which is electrically neutral as a whole, is not only ionic but also contains electrons. For the technical use of nuclear fusion, it is important to maintain the temperature. It is also necessary to Spatially enclose the plasma for as long as possible. To compensate for the plasma pressure and thus to contain the plasma, a magnetic field is applied. Of the pressure generated by this field can be estimated in a simplified manner using the magnetic express the table flux density B and (occurring numerical factors can be set to 1 will). (D) Estimate how large the magnetic flux density B has to be in order to produce the described The plasma.
