Homework Statement Homework Equations Flux = DeltaB * Area The Attempt at a Solution : Since the magnetic fields are going in opposite directions through the loop, I assumed that they would have different signs, so I chose 2.0 T to be positive and 1.0 to be negative, so when calculating the...

I am a little unsure how to get started with a homework question. Essentially, I have to calculate the local heat flux at a distance 1.2m (x) along a pipe. I have the fluid's properties and have calculated the Reynolds number, for which I've determined the flow to be turbulent and therefore do...

Why is it that the induced emf opposes the change in magnetic flux? Is it to follow the law of conservation of energy?

I am working on a experiment that injects CO2 and H2 at a specified mass flux. The mass fraction of each is 0.5. Given the total mass flux of the combined species, how would I find the mass flux of each individual specie? I was thinking it would just be a simple halving since the mass fractions...

In a transformer, let's say we have: I1, I2 - currents through the primary and secondary winding V1, V2 - voltages N1, N2 - number of turns F1, F2 - magnetic fluxes through core, produced by the currents I1 and I2 (they are opposing...) R - the reluctance of the core We have V1/V2 = N1/N2...

In PWR, fast neutron produced from fission in fuel has been moderated into thermal neutron by the a series of collisiion with coolant,i.e. H2O. So the multi-group neutron flux in coolant and fuel pin has much diffenrce, e.g. the relative higher fast neutron in fuel pin and relative higher...

Hi I am trying to run a fast reactor model but I cannot figure out what is happening because I get the error: run terminated because 10 particles got lost. I am using the sdef card (with and without parameters) and the model is not running. Hope you can help me to fix any mistake I did. The...

Given an initial mass of some isotope subjected to a constant neutron flux, how fast will the mass drop off? Would not the survival curve look exactly like the curve for radioactive decay? Both cases describe a starting mass subjected to a constant transformative force at a rate that depends...

Why do axisymmetric FEA models of magnets and their fields make the field farther from the axis appear denser than it really is when the flux line mode is enabled? I'm using the F.E.M.M. system at the moment. All integrals and graphs give correct values, but the depicted lines of flux appear...

Does a magnet have to penetrate the plane of a coil in order to generate an emf in the coil? Would an emf be obtained if the coil only passes through the magnetic lines of force, without the magnet crossing the plane of the coil? Thank you.

As most of know that magnetic field arises due to change in electric field flux over a surface. In the same way, is there any kind of field arising due to gravitational field flux about a surface ? And if yes then does gravitational field and that field cause each other (in the same way electric...
