Nondimentional Diffusion Equation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around converting a time-dependent neutron diffusion equation into a dimensionless form. The user seeks clarification on whether "neutron" is considered a unit, given that neutron flux measures intensity in neutrons per square centimeter per second. Additionally, they inquire about the combination of quantities needed to achieve a dimensionless neutron flux. The thread concludes with the user expressing gratitude for any hints provided. Overall, the focus is on understanding the dimensional analysis related to neutron flux in the context of diffusion equations.

Hello, Here is my problem: I need to turn my time dependent neutron diffusion equation into dimensionless one.. So, I have a couple of questions:

1. As neutron flux is a : "A measure of the intensity of neutron radiation in neutrons/cm2-sec" per definition, is "neutron" a unit? If yes, then:

2. A combination of what quantities, when multiplied with neutron flux, will give me a nondimentional neutron flux?

Any hints are greatly appreciated! Thank you!

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...
