Derive the neutron leakage equation for:

1. Cylindrical Coordinate System
2. Spherical Coordinate System

1. Cylindrical Coordinate System:

(r, , z) => ( dr , r d, dz)

dV= r dr d dz
Along r- axis;
. = (+ ). .

. = ( ( ) )


( ( ))

. =

2
. = 1
2
Along - axis;
. = (+ ). .

. = ( ( ) )


( ( ))

. =

2
. = 2 2
2
Along z- axis;
. = (+ ). .

. = ( ( ) )


( ( ))

. =

2
. = 3
2
Adding 1, 2 and 3;
2 2 2
= ( 2 + 2 2 + 2 )

= 2
= 2

2. Spherical Coordinates System:

(r, , ) => ( dr , R d, r sin d)

dV= r2 sin dR d d
Along R- axis;
. = (+ ). .

. = ( ( ) ) 2


( ( ))

. = 2

2
. = 4
2
Along - axis;
. = (+ ). .

. = ( ( ) )


( ( ))

. =

. = 2 5
2

Along axis;
. = (+ ). .

. = ( ( ) )


( ( ))

. =

2
. = 2 6
2 2
Adding 4, 5 and 6;
2 2 2
= ( 2 + 2 2 + 2 )
2 2
= 2
= 2
