9781482239584: Nuclear System: Elements of Thermal Hydraulic Design

Synopsis

This book provides advanced coverage of a wide variety of thermal fluid systems and technologies in nuclear power plants, including discussions of the latest reactor designs and their thermal/fluid technologies. Beyond the thermal hydraulic design and analysis of the core of a nuclear reactor, the book covers other components of nuclear power plants, such as the pressurizer, containment, and the entire primary coolant system.

Placing more emphasis on the appropriate models for small-scale resolution of the velocity and temperature fields through computational fluid mechanics, the book shows how this enhances the accuracy of predicted operating conditions in nuclear plants. It introduces considerations of the laws of scaling and uncertainty analysis, along with a wider coverage of the phenomena encountered during accidents.

FEATURES

  • Discusses fundamental ideas for various modeling approaches for the macro- and microscale flow conditions in reactors
  • Covers specific design considerations, such as natural convection and core reliability
  • Enables readers to better understand the importance of safety considerations in thermal engineering and analysis of modern nuclear plants
  • Features end-of-chapter problems
  • Includes a solutions manual for adopting instructors

This book serves as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in nuclear engineering and studying thermal/hydraulic systems in nuclear power plants.
