Hey everyone, I’m starting my masters in nuclear engineering in about 6 months. The thing is I graduated six years ago, so I’m a bit rusty(more than a bit actually), so I’d appreciate any advice on which math and physics topics I should review to be ready for the program.

Oh, I guess I was so enthusiastic to write the answer that I forgot to include the microscopic cross-section for each species :oldbiggrin: $$\Sigma_{mix}= \frac{No\ of\ X\ atoms}{Volume\ of\ X} \times \frac{Volume\ of\ X}{Volume\ of\ X+Y} \times \sigma_{X} + \frac{No\ of\ Y\ atoms}{Volume\ of\...

Thank you so much. I think I get it now, and here is my understanding: If we assume two species (x,y) $$\Sigma_{mix}= \frac{No\ of\ X\ atoms}{Volume\ of\ X} \times \frac{Volume\ of\ X}{Volume\ of\ X+Y} + \frac{No\ of\ Y\ atoms}{Volume\ of\ Y} \times \frac{Volume\ of\ Y}{Volume\ of\ X+Y}$$

This question is in the book " Introduction to nuclear engineering by Lamarsh" Chapter3: I think it's pretty basic but I couldn't find the proper way to prove it, and now I even suspect that it's not a correct question. My attempt solution: I would very much appreciate your help. Thanks in...

Hi, I am sorry if my question seems a bit basic but I find it confusing to understand the differences between the angular neutron flux and the neutron current vector. I read the definitions from multiple textbooks (Lamarsh, Stacey, Duderstadt) but my idea is that: despite the fact that the...
