Cross section reactive

A bimoleciilar reaction can be regarded as a reactive collision with a reaction cross section a that depends on the relative translational energy of the reactant molecules A and B (masses and m ). The specific rate constant k(E ) can thus fonnally be written in tenns of an effective reaction cross section o, multiplied by the relative centre of mass velocity...

The END equations are integrated to yield the time evolution of the wave function parameters for reactive processes from an initial state of the system. The solution is propagated until such a time that the system has clearly reached the final products. Then, the evolved state vector may be projected against a number of different possible final product states to yield coiresponding transition probability amplitudes. Details of the END dynamics can be depicted and cross-section cross-sections and rate coefficients calculated. 

Account must be taken in design and operation of the requirements for the production and consumption of xenon-135 [14995-12-17, Xe, the daughter of iodine-135 [14834-68-5] Xenon-135 has an enormous thermal neutron cross section, around 2.7 x 10 cm (2.7 x 10 bams). Its reactivity effect is constant when a reactor is operating steadily, but if the reactor shuts down and the neutron flux is reduced, xenon-135 builds up and may prevent immediate restart of the reactor. 

Beryllium has a high x-ray permeabiUty approximately seventeen times greater than that of aluminum. Natural beryUium contains 100% of the Be isotope. The principal isotopes and respective half-life are Be, 0.4 s Be, 53 d Be, 10 5 Be, stable Be, 2.5 x 10 yr. Beryllium can serve as a neutron source through either the (Oi,n) or (n,2n) reactions. Beryllium has alow (9 x 10 ° m°) absorption cross-section and a high (6 x 10 ° m°) scatter cross-section for thermal neutrons making it useful as a moderator and reflector in nuclear reactors (qv). Such appHcation has been limited, however, because of gas-producing reactions and the reactivity of beryUium toward high temperature water. 

Boric acid [B(OH)3] is employed in primary coolant systems as a soluble, core reactivity controlling agent (moderator). It has a high capture cross-section for neutrons and is typically present to the extent of perhaps 300 to 1,000 ppm (down from perhaps 500 to 2,500 ppm 25 years ago), depending on nuclear reactor plant design and the equilibrium concentration reached with lithium hydroxide. However, boric acid may be present to a maximum extent of 1,200 ppm product in hot power nuclear operations. 

The total reaction cross-sections of the individual primary and secondary species were derived and are compared in Table III with reactivities determined from previous electron impact studies (10, 31). 

The first term must always be retained since A is a reactive component and thus varies in the z-direction. The second term must be retained if either the mass density or the reactor cross-sectional area varies with z. The last term is...
