Although nuclear fusion reactivity and thereafter the power density of a magnetic confinement fusion reactor and the fulfillment of the ignition criterion are quantitatively determined by assuming the ion speed distribution to be Maxwellian, a significant population of suprathermal ions, with energy greater than the quasi-Maxwellian background plasma temperature, is generated by the fusion reactions and auxiliary heating in the fusion devices. In the current work 3-parameter Dagum speed distribution has been introduced to include the effect of suprathermal ion population in the calculation of total fusion reactivity. The extent of enhancement in the fusion reactivity, at different back-ground temperatures of the fusion fuel plasma, due to the suprathermal ion population has also been discussed.}, journal={ANNALS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY}, author={Majumdar, Rudrodip and Das, Debraj}, year={2016}, month={Nov}, pages={66–75} } @article{majumdar_bourham_2016, title={Radial Profile of Plasma Flow Parameters Following Evolution of Electrothermal Polycarbonate Plasma into a Large Chamber Simulating Impurity Expansion in Fusion Reactor Vacuum Vessel}, volume={35}, ISSN={0164-0313 1572-9591}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10894-016-0107-9}, DOI={10.1007/s10894-016-0107-9}, number={6}, journal={Journal of Fusion Energy}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Majumdar, Rudrodip and Bourham, Mohamed A.}, year={2016}, month={Jul}, pages={795–806} } @article{majumdar_banerjee_2015, title={Effect of Changing Source Capillary Radius on Bulk Flow Parameter Scaling Laws for Hypersonically Expanding Arc-Ablated Polycarbonate Plasma for Fusion and Space Applications}, volume={34}, ISSN={["1572-9591"]}, DOI={10.1007/s10894-015-9947-y}, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF FUSION ENERGY}, author={Majumdar, Rudrodip and Banerjee, Tirtha}, year={2015}, month={Dec}, pages={1234–1245} } @article{majumdar_bourham_2015, title={Effect of Plasma Temperature and Nonlinearity of the Adiabatic Compressibility Index on Flow Parameters for Hypersonic Aerosol Expansion Following a Plasma Disruption}, volume={34}, ISSN={["1572-9591"]}, DOI={10.1007/s10894-015-9960-1}, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF FUSION ENERGY}, author={Majumdar, Rudrodip and Bourham, Mohamed}, year={2015}, month={Dec}, pages={1269–1277} } @article{majumdar_gilligan_winfrey_bourham_2015, title={Scaling Laws of Bulk Plasma Parameters for a 1-D Flow through a Capillary with Extended Converging-Diverging Nozzle for Simulated Expansion into Fusion Reactor Chamber}, volume={34}, ISSN={["1572-9591"]}, DOI={10.1007/s10894-015-9899-2}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF FUSION ENERGY}, author={Majumdar, Rudrodip and Gilligan, John G. and Winfrey, A.
