Request a sales quoteSingle-Phase, Two-Phase and Supercritical Natural Circulation Systems provides readers with a deep understanding of natural circulation systems. This book equips the reader with an understanding on how to detect unstable loops to ensure plant safety and reliability, calculate heat transport capabilities, and design effective natural circulation loops, stability maps and parallel channel systems. Each chapter begins with an introduction to the circulation system before discussing each element in detail and analyzing its effect on the performance of the system. The book also presents thermosyphon heat transport devices in nuclear and other industrial plants, a common information need for students and researchers alike.
This book is invaluable for engineers, designers, operators and consultants in nuclear, mechanical, electrical and chemical disciplines.
- Presents single-phase, two-phase and supercritical natural circulation systems together in one resource to fill an existing knowledge gap
- Guides the reader through relevant processes, such as designing, analyzing and generating stability maps and natural circulation loops, calculating heat transport capabilities, and maintaining natural circulation system operations
- Includes global case studies and examples to increase understanding, along with important IAEA standards and procedures
Intended for nuclear, mechanical, chemical & electrical engineering disciplines; engineers involved in the design, construction & operation of nuclear, fossil-fuelled and solar-thermal power plants; heat transfer and cooling system engineers and researchers; safety analysis specialists of regulatory bodies such as USNRC, IAEA, AERB
