APPLICATIONS OF THE RAYLEIGH-RITZ APPROXIMATION. PART II. UPPER BOUNDS FOR THE CRITICAL LAPLACIANS OF SOME COMPLEX SOLIDS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4282809
The method of optimized parameters which was introduced in Part I is used to determine critical Laplacians and flux plots for a finite elliptical cylinder, a finite hexagonal prism, and a two-region core finite circular cylinder, all fully reflected. A typical fast reactor is used as a model for calculations in all three cases. The two-region circular reactor result is compared with the finite difference solution obtained using a computing machine. (auth)
