It is important for nuclear engineers to know the thermal properties of neutrons in a nuclear reactor. Assuming that a gas of neutrons is in thermal equilibrium, find v and v* for neutrons at the following temperatures. (Enter your answers in m/s.)
(a)
580 K
v= m/sv*= m/s
(b)
2,300 K
v= m/sv*= m/s
N_(0.100v_(xrms))=
(b)
v_(x)=v_(xrms)
N_(v_(xrms))=
(c)
v_(x)=10.0v_(xrms)
N_(10.0v)=
