This book was released on 1975 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the sixth partial delivery of an Engineer's Handbook on plasma instabilities and their use, control, stabilization and engineering application. The book will be necessary for design and feasibility studies of thermonuclear fusion and other plasma engineering devices. The sixth partial delivery presents chapter 8 (Plasma Containment). It covers the following sections: 8.1 Classification of containment systems; 8.2 Self-containment and the pinch-effect; 8.3 Magnetohydrostatics and magnetic surfaces; 8.4 Two-dimensional equilibria; 8.5 Toroidal equilibria; 8.6 Tokamaks and high beta systems; 8.7 Containment in Vlasov and CGL theories.
