Thermal energy of a fissionable substance

Input(s)

SnoS_{n o}: Rate of Heat Production at Center of Substance (cal/cm3 s)\left(\mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{cm}^{3} \mathrm{~s}\right)

b: Constant of Fission (dimensionless)

r\mathrm{r}: Radius of Centre of Sphere (cm)(\mathrm{cm})

RFR^{F}: Radius of Fissionable Material (cm)(\mathrm{cm})

Output(s)

SnS_{n}: Thermal Energy Resulting from Volume Source (cal/cm3 s)\left(\mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{cm}^{3} \mathrm{~s}\right)

Formula(s)

Sn=Sno(1+b((rRF)2))\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{n}}=\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{no}} *\left(1+\mathrm{b} *\left(\left(\frac{\mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{R}^{\mathrm{F}}}\right)^{2}\right)\right)
