To minimize neutron leakage from a reactor, the ratio of the surface area to the volume should be a minimum. For a given volume V the ratio of the sphere will be .
We know that the surface area and volume of the sphere is given by:
Therefore, the ratio between the surface area and the volume for the sphere will be:
Equating the volume to the constant c, we will find the value of .
Substituting the value of r in the ration between surface area and volume, we get:
Calculating the constants, we get:
Hence, the ration between surface area and volume is
