In chemistry, a reactivity series (or reactivity series of elements) is an empirical, calculated, and structurally analytical progression ...
where A and B are reactants C is a product a, b, and c are stoichiometric coefficients,. the reaction rate is often found to have the form: = [] [] Here is the reaction rate constant that depends on temperature, and [A] and [B] are the molar concentrations of substances A and B in moles per unit volume of solution, assuming the reaction is taking place throughout the volume of the ...
The change in reactivity caused by a change of voids inside the reactor is directly proportional to the void coefficient. A positive void coefficient means that the reactivity increases as the void content inside the reactor increases due to increased boiling or loss of coolant; for example, if the coolant acts predominantly as neutron absorber.
The reactivity ratio for each propagating chain end is defined as the ratio of the rate constant for addition of a monomer of the species already at the chain end to the rate constant for addition of the other monomer.
The relationship shows that is the value of the partial differential of reactivity with respect to temperature and is referred to as the "temperature coefficient of reactivity". As a result, the temperature feedback provided by α T {\displaystyle \alpha _{T}} has an intuitive application to passive nuclear safety .
The Inhour equation used in nuclear reactor kinetics to relate reactivity and the reactor period. [1] Inhour is short for "inverse hour" and is defined as the reactivity which will make the stable reactor period equal to 1 hour (3,600 seconds). [2] Reactivity is more commonly expressed as per cent millie (pcm) of Δk/k or dollars. [3]
A single-displacement reaction, also known as single replacement reaction or exchange reaction, is an archaic concept in chemistry.It describes the stoichiometry of some chemical reactions in which one element or ligand is replaced by atom or group.
Reactivity in its most general sense would not be measured in dollars or cents. This is because k eff measures the total value of reactivity, a summation of the reactivity of both the prompt and delayed neutrons. However, reactivity in dollars is dependent on the delayed neutron fraction (β eff). [2] Reactivity in dollars = ρ / β eff
