Abstract
Calculations are presented showing the temperatures to be expected fro m auxiliary heating in spheromaks, based on a model that appears to ag ree with earlier experiments with ohmic heating. The model incorporate s heat loss due to the magnetic fluctuations generated during self-org anization into a Taylor state. The model shows that keV temperatures c ould be achieved in a small device with a flux conserver radius of onl y 0.3 m.
