The Distribution of Angular Flux for Slab Albedo Problem

The slab albedo problem is solved by using HN method. The albedo, transmission coefficientand angular flux are calculated for the isotropic scattering. The behavior of these parametersaccording to the changing of slab thickness is obtained. The angular flux distributions are goodagreement with literature. It was shown that HN method leads to concise equations and to fastconverging numerical results.
