商品描述
This book offers an accessible overview of the diverse approaches being pursued to make fusion energy a reality. Rather than diving into the underlying physics or speculating over future predictions, it focuses on what can be known today: the technologies, the experiments, the challenges, and the players shaping the field.
Organised into four parts, the book begins with a broad introduction to fusion before presenting a clear, structured overview of the major approaches, complete with up-to-date snapshots and profiles of key public laboratories and private companies in the field. Chapters explore the cross-cutting scientific, engineering, and safety issues that every fusion concept must confront, including radiation protection and non-proliferation. The book concludes with a discussion on economics, outlining the market realities and uncertainties that will influence the future of the industry.
With minimal mathematics and a balanced analysis of pros and cons for each approach, this book empowers readers to critically evaluate and understand the real, current trajectory of fusion research.
Whether you're curious about the science, intrigued by the technology, or watching the emerging fusion economy, this is an essential guide to this rapidly evolving field.
Key features:
- An accessible introduction to different approaches in nuclear fusion.
- Discusses the latest technologies advancing the field and their pros, cons and problems.
- Minimal mathematics and accessible to a general audience without a formal, scientific background.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書提供了一個易於理解的概述，介紹了為實現核融合能源而採取的多種方法。它並不深入探討基礎物理或對未來進行推測，而是專注於當前可知的事物：技術、實驗、挑戰以及塑造該領域的參與者。
本書分為四個部分，首先對核融合進行廣泛的介紹，然後清晰、有條理地概述主要方法，並附上最新的快照和該領域主要公共實驗室及私營公司的簡介。各章節探討了每個核融合概念必須面對的跨學科科學、工程和安全問題，包括輻射防護和防擴散。書末則討論了經濟學，概述了將影響該行業未來的市場現實和不確定性。
本書以最少的數學運算和對每種方法的優缺點進行平衡分析，幫助讀者批判性地評估和理解核融合研究的真實現狀和未來走向。
無論您對科學感到好奇、對技術感到興趣，還是關注新興的核融合經濟，這都是一本對這個快速發展領域至關重要的指南。
主要特點：
- 提供對核融合不同方法的易於理解的介紹。
- 討論推進該領域的最新技術及其優缺點和問題。
- 數學運算最少，適合沒有正式科學背景的一般讀者。
作者簡介
Andrea Di Vita is a physicist with 20+ years of expertise in nuclear fusion, thermodynamics, and thermoacoustics. Since graduating cum laude in plasma physics with a dissertation on radiofrequency heating of tokamak plasmas, he has been in the energy industry for decades, as well as serving as a visiting scientist at ENEA, JET, and Università
di Genova. He has worked on both the time-dependent energy balances of IGNITOR and SPARC tokamaks, the non-inductive current drive in the JET tokamak, the energy balance and saturation process of the neutron yield in a dense plasma focus, and the collisions between plasmoids in the heliosphere. He has also worked on the electrical
conductivity of flames, the simulation of radiative arcs in high-voltage circuit-breakers, the saturation of thrust in magnetoplasmadynamic thrusters for space propulsion, the onset of thermoacoustic instabilities, and the thermodynamics of relaxation in plasmas and the related variational principles. Dr. Di Vita has authored and co-authored 32 publications on these topics, as well as one handbook on non-equilibrium thermodynamics.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
安德烈亞·迪維塔是一位物理學家，擁有超過20年的核融合、熱力學和熱聲學專業知識。自從以優異的成績畢業於等離子體物理學，並以有關托卡馬克等離子體的射頻加熱的論文為題，他在能源產業工作了數十年，同時擔任過ENEA、JET和熱那亞大學的訪問科學家。他曾參與IGNITOR和SPARC托卡馬克的時間依賴性能量平衡研究、JET托卡馬克中的非感應電流驅動、密集等離子體聚焦中的中子產量的能量平衡和飽和過程，以及日球層中等離子體之間的碰撞。他還研究了火焰的電導率、高壓斷路器中輻射弧的模擬、用於太空推進的磁等離子動力推進器中的推力飽和、熱聲不穩定性的發生，以及等離子體中的放鬆熱力學及相關的變分原理。迪維塔博士在這些主題上發表和合著了32篇論文，以及一本有關非平衡熱力學的手冊。
