AI Thread Summary
To solve the volumetric heat production formula q=(Σ*Φ*A*C)/V in spherical geometry, the volume V can be calculated as V = (Σ*Φ*A*C)/q. In this context, A represents the first-wall surface area in cm², C is the energy conversion factor (200 MeV multiplied by 1.602189 x 10^-13 J), and Σ denotes the integral fission rate in the first fuel row. When considering a triso fraction rate of five percent of the total fuel rod volume, it is necessary to use V*(5/100) to accurately calculate q. This adjustment accounts for the core fraction rate in the fuel rod.

For spherical geometry, how can we solve volumetric heat production formula ? q=(Σ*Φ*A*C)/V for example if triso fraction rate is five percent of total fuel rod volume, how can we calculate volume (V) in the formula?

What are A and C? What is the basis of Σ?

Given q=(Σ*Φ*A*C)/V, then V = (Σ*Φ*A*C)/q.
 
A, first-wall surface area [cm2]. C, energy conversion factor (constant),200 [MeV] x 1.602189.10-13[J]. Σ, integral fission rate in the first fuel row [fission/neutron]. I want to ask that whether should we use V*(5/100) or only V while we find q ? Because of core fraction rate in fuel rod. In terms of above example.
 
Hello everyone, I am currently working on a burnup calculation for a fuel assembly with repeated geometric structures using MCNP6. I have defined two materials (Material 1 and Material 2) which are actually the same material but located in different positions. However, after running the calculation with the BURN card, I am encountering an issue where all burnup information(power fraction(Initial input is 1,but output file is 0), burnup, mass, etc.) for Material 2 is zero, while Material 1...
