Description
Summary:► We have used the idea of integration over differential operators and nodal-like approximations. ► We solve the albedo and critical problems for cylinders, spheres and slabs. ► Results were compared with exact results. In order to provide some basic evaluations of elementary nodal techniques, as used in the general area of particle transport theory, critical and albedo problems for cylinders, spheres, and slabs are solved approximately in terms of averaged quantities and compared to exact results.
