Introduction to Electronic Analogue Computing

Read the PDF (47 pp) ↗

An experiment manual prepared by Argonne National Laboratory (ANL-6187) to introduce participants in the International Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering to electronic analogue computing. Covers general theory of electronic analog computers (operational amplifiers, integrators, differentiators, servo multipliers, servo dividers, differential relays), operational information for the Electronics Associates PACE computer, analog programming techniques, and worked experiments including sine-wave generation, xenon buildup in a reactor, reactor kinetics, and isotopic abundance in fast reactors.
