    • Theoretical studies on some aspects of molten fuel-coolant thermal interaction 

      Kazimi, Mujid S. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [1973], 1973)
      Rapid generation of high pressures and mechanical work may result when thermal energy is transferred from the hot molten nuclear fuel to the coolant in an LMFBR accident. Such energetic thermal interactions are facilitated ...

    • Solution of the space-dependent reactor kinetics equations in three dimensions 

      Ferguson, Donald Ross; Hansen, Kent F. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [1971], 1971)
      A general class of two-step alternating-direction semi-implicit methods is proposed for the approximate solution of the semi-discrete form of the space-dependent reactor kinetics equations. An exponential transformation ...

    • Time integration methods for reactor kinetics 

      Nóbrega, José de Anchieta Wanderley da; Henry, Allan F. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [], )
      A technique based on the Padé approximations is applied to the solution of the point kinetics equations. The method consists of treating explicitly the roots of the inhour formula which would make the Padé approximations ...
