Magnetic field extraction of positive ions

AI Thread Summary
To extract positive ions from a fission gas using a magnetic mirror, the required field strength is contingent on the ions' velocity, mass, and charge-to-mass ratio. The discussion highlights that the average charge of the ions is +22, with masses of 140 amu and 95 amu. The exact calculations for the necessary magnetic field strength are complex and not detailed in the conversation. Participants suggest seeking assistance in specialized forums such as Nuclear Engineering for more precise guidance. Understanding these parameters is crucial for effective ion extraction in nuclear applications.

A gas composed of nuclear fuel is undergoing fission, producing fast moving positive ions that I wish to remove from the system by use of a magnetic mirror. What field strength is needed to ensure the fragments follow the trajectory I need, and not interact with the surrounding material?

That all depends on the velocity and mass of the particles. Along with the charge to mass ratio.
 
The average charge of the particles is +22, and the average masses are 140amu and 95amu.
 
Wish I could help you, but I don't know the math and details behind this. Try posting in the Nuclear Engineering forum and see if you get any help.

Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (Second part)'

I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...

Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'

Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.
