Dear all, I would like to learn more about what happens to CRs during the reactor cycle. At the beginning of the cycle large excess reactivity is present in the core and has to be compensated with burnable absorbers (lumped in rods and WABA coating), chemical shim and CRs. There are several...

Hi I am someone researching vapor core reactors from a historical perspective. I have a technical question. In a congressional document I found it is stated that a vapor core reactor would have 35kW of power per square inch. Am I right in calculating that a cubic inch of a vapor core reactor...

I need help in calculating the magnetic field outside of an iron core solenoid at different distances. I have made an electromagnet by taking a 99.99% pure iron (5cm in length and 1 mm in radius) and wrapping wire over it. I have measured it's magnetic field at the end and cannot find an...

Hello. I am trying to design an EI-core electromagnet (think two c-shaped cores with their gaps abutting). The coils would go on the top and bottom legs of the E (legs B and C in my sketch). There is a sketchbelow and you can find one here...

The graph below shows the efficiency of an AIR CORE transformer at different voltages (from MAINS). At low voltages, it has high efficiency and gets lowers because of high magnetising current causing heat loss. But why is it higher at some points again? I do not understand this pattern. Please...

For a standard solenoid, I've found that B=μnI where μ = permeability of the core (4π×10^-7 for free space) n = number of coils I = current Firstly, is the permeability of soft iron 0.08, as I found? Primarily, however, I'm wanting to know if this still applies for a mutual induction apparatus...

I have been studying astronomy and astrophysics for about 2 years now, though on my own time and by my self. A recent question came into my mind, Can arctic planets exist close to their star? Now, in my understanding of planetary science, in order for a planet to be cool and close to the sun, it...

If i have a transformer, and i need to calculate the core losses using this approximate equivalent circuit, according to the lectures ( taking an introduction to electrical machines course in college) the Pc ( power lost in core) = (V1)^2/Gc, but the professor clearly stated that the core losses...

Would it be possible to send a robotic probe to the Earth's core?

http://www.wired.com/2013/10/mars-polar-ice-sample-return-1977-1978/ I found this old Wired article interesting. It makes me wonder, with all the cash that is thrown at Mars exploration these days, why an updated version of this has not been attempted? It would seem that analysis of a Martian...

I have two systems that are approx. 300-400ft apart that I am connecting via a 10 Gig fiber connection. The fiber I am using is a 100um core MM fiber and the switches will be using a 50um core OM4 (4700 MHz*km) SFP module. Is there a way to find out what type of loss I should be expecting, is...

I'm not 100% sure if this question has been asked/answered or not but I was curious about this subject and I fear I'm not knowledgeable enough to figure out this question for myself. I know that the gravity at the surface of the sun is roughly 28g, but as gravity gets more intense the closer to...

Could neutron star jets with velocity greater than 0.9c be caused by a mix of ultra-relativistic core material escaping the star? See this link: http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2015/08/neutron-star-jets-near-speed-of-light-rival-those-of-black-holes.html

Hydrogen electrons can spin-flip and emit a 21 cm photon. Can core electrons in a metal like lithium spin flip? If so, is the energy required to do so similar to hydrogen?

Hi everyone, I read somewhere that when a coil is wound on a magnetic core it's electrical length becomes longer than it's physical length. I remember seeing this formula L=l * sqrt Ue Where L= Electrical length l=actual (physical) length Ue=Core permeability Does anyone know if this is...

Has anyone considered the iron core of a transformer to act as a transmission line or waveguide, where it conveys energy from primary to secondary? The core seems to resemble a "magnetic version" of the single wire Goubau line.

Can you please explain what the core problem of the information paradox is? Hi all! I've read many articles about it, watched videos, argued with some physicists, and yet I can't grasp at all where the paradox lies. For example, from the Wikipedia: "An important difference between the black...

The new curriculum schools are teaching now for math in elementary is Common core, which is a visual representation of addition, subtraction, multiplication etc... I've seen a couple videos, articles and stories of some, what i believe to be, outrageous accounts of unfairness towards the...

I've seen a lot of complaining on the internet by parents about the new way addition and multiplication is taught in American schools. I looked at it, and have to admit, at first, I thought it was insanely overcomplicated and worse than the way I was taught where you did one digit at a time and...

Hi all.. I am currently working on a project where i need to wound toroidal core halfway (not completely) so that part f the core is exposed. With that part, I need to lift weight a certain amount of weight (not fixed at this point). I am trying to understand what kind of equations would be...

Hi everyone. I've been seeing certain posts circulate around social media, claiming that math is now taught differently in school than it was before. Here is one such image: I'm not sure if this is true, or if it's just one of those "back in MY day" rants. Anyways, I'd like to see discussion...

I am interested in this. I'm looking for a simple answer and a more in depth answer (if possible). Any links regarding the math behind it would be great. Thank you.

If I have a voltage magnitude that I can modify, say I'm measureing the RMS of it. And that it is at a set frequency, and I want to know the quantity (that I am only just familiarising myself with) known as volt-seconds, on a coil and magnetic core. Say I was looking at how many volt seconds the...

Hey, I'm only asking this here because its a bit of a time-critical question (no pun inteded). But if one takes a V Vs I curve (like to measure BH without the equipment to measure flux directly), that is to say, measures the change of increase in voltage and increase in current (where current is...
