Hi
If I have a cylinder 50mm dia and 200mm long, at 1 torr pressure, what would be the number of atoms of D in the cylinder.
Cheers

Re: Number of D atoms at pressure
Do the math yourself. we are a self directed group here.
Find the volume of your cylinder in liters or fraction thereof.
Divide your volume in liters by 22.4, (the number of liters of gas in a mole of gas at STP) You now know the number of moles in the tank
Multiply this result by Avagadros number. This is the number of molecules in your cylinder.
Multiply this number by 2 and you have the number of deuterium atoms in the cylinder. (All hydrogen molecules are diatomic at STP)
You answer will be in the sextillions of atoms
The above is something most learned high school chemistry students might know, but for all others, the internet abounds with such solutions and methodologies just itching to be serached out. Self directed learning is usually a matter of reading, first. Comprehension and application follows for those wishing to retain the knowledge.

Re: Number of D atoms at pressure
Thanks and sorry
Got 1.03498855e+20 from a online calculator http://www.cactus2000.de/uk/unit/massigg.shtml at 20 degrees C.
Would like to make a design to accelerate these to fusion, but abit lost on how to make a field almost uniform over a distance of 50mm, will see if I can work it out, but anyone else can jump in.
Thanks
EDIT
Got this, but will need software that can be more accurate, does anyone know of software like this?
