Nuclear Reactors, BAU, 1st Semester, 2007-2008 (Saed Dababneh). Fick’s Law Validity: 1. The medium is infinite. Integration over all space.  after few mean free paths  0  corrections at the surface are still required. 2. The medium is uniform.   and  are functions of space  re-derivation of Fick’s law?  locally larger s  extra J cancelled by iff ??? Note: assumption 5 is also violated! 3. There are no neutron sources in the medium. Again, sources are few mean free paths away and corrections otherwise. HW 16 Nuclear Reactors, BAU, 1st Semester, 2007-2008 (Saed Dababneh).

Nuclear Reactors, BAU, 1st Semester, 2007-2008 (Saed Dababneh). Fick’s Law 6. The neutron flux is not a function of time. Time needed for a thermal neutron to traverse 3 mean free paths  1 x 10-5 s (How?). If flux changes by 10% per second! Very small fractional change during the time needed for the neutron to travel this “significant” distance. Nuclear Reactors, BAU, 1st Semester, 2007-2008 (Saed Dababneh).
