“…Probably the most common of this kind is the description of coolant transport. In a thermionic reactor model (Brehm, Hetrick, Guppy, Kearns, and Schmidt 1968, p. 55 ff. )» four delays are necessary in modeling the coolant transport between the reactor and the heat exchanger, and between the heat exchanger and the radiator.…”

“…The example of a reactor system with two temperature reactivity feedback utilizing the simple model employed in the stability studies by Brehm, Hetrick, et al, (1968) will illustrate the procedural steps and basic calculations involved in decoupling a multivariable system. The state-variable, control, and output vectors are defined as…”
