Reaction Rate from Neutron Flux
R_rate = phi_n·Sigma_m
What it says
How often reactions happen per cubic metre, from the neutron flux and the macroscopic cross-section.
Symbols
| Symbol | Quantity | Dimension |
|---|---|---|
R_rate | Reaction rate density (1/(m^3·s)) | L^-3 T^-1 |
phi_n | Neutron flux (1/(m^2·s)) | L^-2 T^-1 |
Sigma_m | Macroscopic cross-section (1/m) | L^-1 |
Work it out
Enter what you know. No account needed.
Fill in all but one: phi_n, Sigma_m, R_rate are all empty.
