In this paper, we use Lee’s 5 phase model code to configure both the India Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC) Plasma focus machine operating in the pressure (P0) range from 1 Torr to 14 Torr as well as the Imperial College Plasma Focus Machine operating in the pressure (P0) range from 0.5 Torr to 6 Torr to compare the computational neutron yield to the experimental neutron yield as well as to obtain the relationship between axial speed va, radial shock speed vs, piston speed vp and pinch temperature with P0 for these machines.
