    FLUKA: Why Does Neutron Flux Increase When Passing Through a Moderator?

    @Astronuc thank you for your help, that got me closer, somethings still not right. When multiplying flux by the mean energy of the bin the result is close to the the cumulative flux numbers, so I'm guessing that I can use either one. However the results still don't make sense to me. When I...

    FLUKA: Why Does Neutron Flux Increase When Passing Through a Moderator?

    That is an interesting point about the base units, but I think that the 2 MeV value is f-max on the image below on the Y axis and the "10" is X2-X1 on the X axis. I'm not sure of the units on the X axis though, some count of the number of neutrons.

    FLUKA: Why Does Neutron Flux Increase When Passing Through a Moderator?

    I have been banging my head against this for a few weeks now; tweaking the simulation, adjusting my calculations, and searching around the web to try to find an answer. I can't post questions on CERN's Fluka help forum so this seemed like the best option. I really appreciate any help you can...

    Copper Losses in an Electric Generator

    Thank you all! I knew that I was missing something. The separation of load resistance from generator resistance was very helpful. I'm also thinking of voltage change in the generator as happening in two parts. There's the main voltage gain due to the generator operating, and then there is a...

    Copper Losses in an Electric Generator

    When I use Ohm's law and other related equations to calculate the heating losses in a generator I get the power output of the generator. I assume I'm using the equations wrong, and I was hoping that someone could help set me strait. I think what I would like to know is what determines the...
