Description
This work uses CRONOS integrated predictive modelling code to simulate ion and electron temperatures of plasma in conditions for a small tokamak to be installed at Thailand Institute of Nuclear technology (TINT),under the collaboration of the Center for Plasma and Nuclear Fusion Technology (CPaF). Fusion reactions can be created in tokamak but each experiment can rather cost a huge budget. So simulations plays important role in developing and predicting plasma profiles and performance. In this work, plasma equilibrium profiles are calculated by Helena module. The plasma transport is modelled using a combination of a neoclassical transport, NCLASS and an anomalous transport model, Mixed Bohm/gyro-Bohm. The boundary condition is set based on simple scaling It is found that for all simulations, plasmas remain in L-mode because no external heating is given. The plasma is heated solely by Ohmic effect. The electron density is assumed around 10$^{-19}$ m$^{-3}$ at plasma center. Ion and electron temperatures are investigated for effects from variation of engineering parameters such as plasma current, toroidal magnetic field.
