Abstract

Abstract PN approximation is known as a proper method to solve neutron transport equation when literature is taken into consideration. Generally, conventional scattering function is used to solve criticality and diffusion problems in Legendre polynomial approximation. In this study, instead of conventional scattering function, Henyey-Greenstein (HG) and Anlı-Gungor phase functions (AG) are used in slab geometry transport equation and some critical thicknesses of the slab are calculated as an application with Legendre polynomial (PN) approximation and Marshak boundary condition. Results obtained from HG and AG scattering functions are compared and the correlations and discrepancies between the two functions are presented in the tables.
