A simplified cell theory applied to the calculation of thermal neutron spectra in light water lattices
(Ithaca, New York; Cornell University, 1964-09);A simplified polyenergetic cell theory is formulated to determine spatially averaged energy dependent thermal fluxes in the moderator, cladding, and fuel regions within the unit cell of a reactor lattice. The derived ... -
Verification of McDonnell's mixed-layer depth forecasting model
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1966-10);A model based on Kitaigorodsky's application of similarity theory and modified by McDonnell to forecast the mixed-layer depth was studied The model applies during the warming season and is based on the theory of similarity. ... -
Predicting radiation characteristics from antenna physical dimensions.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1992-12);This report explains the fundamental theory and equations used in writing a set of software applications which predict antenna radiation parameters. Each application predicts the radiation characteristics of a particular ...
