MIT 22.01: Introduction To Nuclear Engineering And Ionizing Radiation

Lecture 6: The Q-Equation - The Most General Nuclear Reaction (2016x6)

Exibido em:: Set 22, 2016

We introduce the Q-equation, which describes any reaction between any two particles which releases or absorbs energy via any nuclear process. All two-body nuclear reactions will then derive from this as simplifications. We drill how the change in mass is the change in energy, given by ‘Q,’ the amount of mass-energy converted.
