DETERMINATION OF DIFFUSION HARDENING IN WATER

Journal Article · · Nuclear Science and Engineering (U.S.)
OSTI ID:4751949
Diffusion lengths have been measured in H/sub 2/O as a function of boric acid concentration. From these measurements of diffusion lengths, the diffusion parameters of water were determined by an improved method of analysis. The diffusion parameters for water reported are: the microscopic absorption cross section sigma /sub a/ = 326.9 plus or minus 1.6 mb, the diffusion coefficient D nu = 35,850 plus or minus 100 cm/sup 2//sec and the diffusion hardening coefficient D nu H = 2900 plus or minus 350 cm/sup 4//sec.
