Download or read book Thermal Hydraulic Analysis of Nuclear Reactors written by Bahman Zohuri and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 845 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised text covers the fundamentals of thermodynamics required to understand electrical power generation systems and the application of these principles to nuclear reactor power plant systems. The book begins with fundamental definitions of units and dimensions, thermodynamic variables and the Laws of Thermodynamics progressing to sections on specific applications of the Brayton and Rankine cycles for power generation and projected reactor systems design issues. It is not a traditional general thermodynamics text, per se, but a practical thermodynamics volume intended to explain the fundamentals and apply them to the challenges facing actual nuclear power plants systems, where thermal hydraulics comes to play. There have been significant new findings for intercooled systems since the previous edition published and they will be included in this volume. New technology plans for using a Nuclear Air-Brayton as a storage system for a low carbon grid are presented along with updated component sizes and performance criteria for Small Modular Reactors. Written in a lucid, straight-forward style while retaining scientific rigor, the content is accessible to upper division undergraduate students and aimed at practicing engineers in nuclear power facilities and engineering scientists and technicians in industry, academic research groups, and national laboratories. The book is also a valuable resource for students and faculty in various engineering programs concerned with nuclear reactors.

This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 1200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermal Hydraulics of Water-Cooled Nuclear Reactors reviews flow and heat transfer phenomena in nuclear systems and examines the critical contribution of this analysis to nuclear technology development. With a strong focus on system thermal hydraulics (SYS TH), the book provides a detailed, yet approachable, presentation of current approaches to reactor thermal hydraulic analysis, also considering the importance of this discipline for the design and operation of safe and efficient water-cooled and moderated reactors. Part One presents the background to nuclear thermal hydraulics, starting with a historical perspective, defining key terms, and considering thermal hydraulics requirements in nuclear technology. Part Two addresses the principles of thermodynamics and relevant target phenomena in nuclear systems. Next, the book focuses on nuclear thermal hydraulics modeling, covering the key areas of heat transfer and pressure drops, then moving on to an introduction to SYS TH and computational fluid dynamics codes. The final part of the book reviews the application of thermal hydraulics in nuclear technology, with chapters on V&V and uncertainty in SYS TH codes, the BEPU approach, and applications to new reactor design, plant lifetime extension, and accident analysis. This book is a valuable resource for academics, graduate students, and professionals studying the thermal hydraulic analysis of nuclear power plants and using SYS TH to demonstrate their safety and acceptability. Contains a systematic and comprehensive review of current approaches to the thermal-hydraulic analysis of water-cooled and moderated nuclear reactors Clearly presents the relationship between system level (top-down analysis) and component level phenomenology (bottom-up analysis) Provides a strong focus on nuclear system thermal hydraulic (SYS TH) codes Presents detailed coverage of the applications of thermal-hydraulics to demonstrate the safety and acceptability of nuclear power plants

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear energy is one of the most important clear energy and contributes more than 10% electric power to human society in the past decades of years. The nuclear thermal hydraulic and two-phase flow is one of the basic branches of nuclear technology and provides structure design and safety analysis to the nuclear power reactors. In the new century, the basic theoretical research of thermal hydraulic and two-phase flow, and innovative design for the next generation nuclear power plants (especially for the small modular reactor and molten salt reactor), along with other nuclear branches, constantly support the development of nuclear technology.

Download or read book Thermal Hydraulic and Fuel Performance Analysis for Innovative Small Light Water Reactor Using VIPRE 01 and FRAPCON 3 written by Anh T. Mai and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR) is a small natural circulation pressurized light water reactor design that was developed by Oregon State University (OSU) and Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) under the Nuclear Energy Research Initiative (NERI) program to address the growing demand for energy and electricity. The MASLWR design is geared toward providing electricity to small communities in remote locations in developing countries where constructions of large nuclear power plants are not economical. The MASLWR reactor is designed to operate for five years without refueling and with fuel enrichment up to 8 %. In 2003, an experimental thermal hydraulic research facility also known as the OSU MASLWR Test Facility was constructed at Oregon State University to examined the performance of new reactor design and natural circulation reactor design concepts. This thesis is focused on the thermal hydraulics analysis and fuel performance analysis of the MASLWR prototypical cores with fuel enrichment of 4.25 % and 8 %. The goals of the thermal hydraulic analyses were to calculate the departure nucleate boiling ratio (DNBR) values, coolant temperature, cladding temperature and fuel temperature profiles in the hot channel of the reactor cores. The thermal hydraulic analysis was performed for steady state operation of the MASLWR prototypical cores. VIPRE Version 01 is the code used for all the computational modeling of the prototypical cores during thermal hydraulic analysis. The hot channel and hot rod results are compared with thermal design limits to determine the feasibility of the prototypical cores. The second level of analysis was performed with a fuel performance code FRAPCON for the limiting MASLWR fuel rods identified by the neutronic and thermal hydraulic analyses. The goals of the fuel performance analyses were to calculate the oxide thickness on the cladding and fission gas release (FGR). The oxide thickness results are compared with the acceptable design limits for standard fuel rods. The results in this research can be helpful for future core designs of small light water reactors with natural circulation.
