Abstract
We consider a dissipative model of a stationary, axisymmetric plasma c onfiguration which allows to compute the pressure p and the toroidal m agnetic field B(phi) as functions of the poloidal magnetic flux psi in Grad-Shafranov's equation. This will be obtained through the solution of four coupled equations in the four unknowns p, B(phi), T (temperat ure) and psi.
