Result Interpretation

TBR Sensitivity to Blanket Thickness and Lithium Enrichment Calculator computes TBR sensitivity (normalized) in dimensionless using the defined engineering formula and the input values provided.

Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • Blanket layer thickness = 0.3
  • Lithium-6 enrichment fraction = 0.95
  • Thickness sensitivity coefficient = 2.5
  • Lithium-6 enrichment sensitivity coefficient = 0.8
  • Reference blanket thickness = 0.3
  • Reference lithium-6 enrichment = 0.95
  • Reference tritium breeding ratio = 1.05

Expected Result:

  • TBR sensitivity (normalized) = 0

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: TBR sensitivity (normalized) = 0 dimensionless.

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.

Formula / Method

normalized = (reference tritium breeding ratio * (1.0 + lithium-6 enrichment sensitivity coefficient * (lithium-6 enrichment fraction - reference lithium-6 enrichment)) * (1.0 + thickness sensitivity coefficient * (blanket layer thickness - reference blanket thickness)) - reference tritium breeding ratio) / reference tritium breeding ratio
