Field of nuclear physics is way over my head and I need some information. My guestion is about the heat generated by neutron radiation on a stainless steel tube. How much will a tube say 10mm radius and 0,4mm wall thickness heat with a neutron flux of 10 W/g? The tube is sinked into the water with temperature of 40 celcius and pressure of 2bar. Will this kind of tube heat at all, or is the wall thickness too "small" for the neutron radiation to heat it?
I need this information for steady state heat transfer calculations, and I need to know whether to negligible the effect of neutron radiation and heat caused by it or not. My doubts are now only with the small thicknessess of certain tubes and how will they heat due to neutron radiation. Need your expertise
Thanks in advance!
