Handbook on Thermal Hydraulics in Water-Cooled Nuclear Reactors: Volume 1: Foundations and Principles

Handbook on Thermal Hydraulics in Water-Cooled Nuclear Reactors: Foundations and Principles is the 1st volume in a three-volume set edited by Professors Francesco D'Auria and Yassin Hassan. Based on the popular 2017 publication, Thermal-Hydraulics of Water-Cooled Nuclear Reactors, this first volume develops, updates and expands the existing chapters to reflect the latest research in the field, providing readers with an unrestricted analysis of the entire spectrum of the topic.  End-of-chapter questions and exercises ensure the less experienced readers have a grasp of the content before moving on to more advanced topics. After a summary of the historical aspects of nuclear thermal hydraulics, the team of expert contributors explore balance equations, target phenomena, heat transfer, and guide the reader through various applicable experiments. This book is a valuable reference for graduate and undergraduate students of nuclear or thermal engineering, as well as researchers in nuclear thermal-hydraulics and reactor technology, engineers working in simulation and modeling of nuclear reactors, and engineers and technicians' nuclear settings. Nuclear operators, code developers and safety engineers will also benefit from the practical guidance provided. Part of a 3-volume set of handbooks which present a comprehensive analysis of the connection between nuclear power and thermal hydraulics Includes end-of-chapter questions, quizzes and exercises to confirm understanding and provides solutions in an appendix Covers applicable nuclear reactor safety considerations and design technology throughout INDICE: 1. Introduction 2. History 3. Key definitions and concepts 4. Safety and Licensing needs 5. Balance Equations 6. THP: Phenomena 7. Heat Transfer 8. Pressure Drops 9. Constitutive Equations
