Calculate the uncertainties due to the flux measurements for the nitrogen volume fractions

Flux Uncertainty The uncertainty of the nitgroen volume fraction due to flux is calculated. The measured flux is considered to have an expanded uncertainty of at most � 3%. If we assume that 3% represents the outer limits of a normal distribution, this corresponds to a standard deviation for flux of
Nitrogen Volume Fraction Uncertainty Due to Flux The uncertainty in nitrogen volume fraction due to the uncertainty in the flux measurement is calculated by propagation of error to be:
