Influence of bremsstrahlung on the heat balance of high-temperature plasma

Abstract

The bremsstrahlung in the heat balance of a high-temperature plasma is soft X-ray, which cannot be directly converted into electricity, as is possible in the case of charged particle energy or cyclotron radiation. Bremsstrahlung is the main radiation mechanism at temperatures of several keV. For the operating temperatures of alternative fuel reactors, calculations of relativistic electron bremsstrahlung have been performed and approximating formulas have been obtained. The radiation losses are given depending on the plasma radius and the temperature.
