4. PROBLEM A planar source at the center of an infinite slab of graphite 2 meters thick emits 108 thermal neutrons per cm/sec. Given that the same system is at room temperature, calculate a) total number of thermal neutrons b) number of thermal neutrons absorbed per cm2/sec of the slab c) neutron current as function of position in the slab. d) Total number of neutrons leaking per cm2/sec from the two surfaces of the slab; e) probability that a source...
An infinite slab of ordinary water 16 cm thick contains a planar source at its center emitting 108 thennal neutrons per cm2/sec. Compute and plot the thennal flux within the slab.
4. Neutron Diffusion in Two Different Media Consider a plane neutron source of strength S (neutrons/cm's) placed at x = 0 between beryllium and graphite as shown below. It is desired to determine the effectiveness of these metals as neutron shielding materials. Plane source a) Solve a neutron diffusion equation for the neutron flux distributions, docx <0) in beryllium Beryllium Lead and co(x > 0) in graphite. Two boundary conditions to be specified at the source location (X (0<x) 0)...
