Abstract
We consider the useful work output from the magnetic compression, decompression and α-particle energy deposition of a single cycle of a D-T θ-pinch reactor. The intrinsic thermodynamic efficiency of the direct conversion cycle from α-particle energy to work is 62%. The direct-conversion output work is available to the reactor system at essentially 100% efficiency, and has an appreciable effect on the circulating power fraction and plant efficiency.
