Topics covered include experimental thermal-hydraulics and instrumentation, numerics, scaling and containment in thermal-hydraulics, as well as a title dedicated to good practices in verification and validation. This book will be 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 more.
In addition, nuclear operators, code developers and safety engineers will also benefit from the practical guidance provided.
- Presents a comprehensive analysis on 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
Graduate and undergraduate students of nuclear or thermal engineering, researchers in nuclear thermal-hydraulics and reactor technology, engineers working in simulation and modeling of nuclear reactors, engineers and technicians in thermal hydraulics, NPP operators, code developers, safety engineers and investigators, nuclear designers and vendors, Students and researchers in chemical and mechanical engineering
