Download or read book Nuclear Reactor Engineering written by Samuel Glasstone and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Samuel Glasstone, the senior author of the previous editions of this book, was anxious to live until his ninetieth birthday, but passed away in 1986, a few months short of this milestone. I am grateful for the many years of stimulation received during our association, and in preparing this edition have attempted to maintain his approach. Previous editions of this book were intended to serve as a text for students and a reference for practicing engineers. Emphasis was given to the broad perspective, particularly for topics important to reactor design and oper ation, with basic coverage provided in such supporting areas as neutronics, thermal-hydraulics, and materials. This, the Fourth Edition, was prepared with these same general objectives in mind. However, during the past three decades, the nuclear industry and university educational programs have matured considerably, presenting some challenges in meeting the objec tives of this book. Nuclear power reactors have become much more complex, with an ac companying growth in supporting technology. University programs now offer separate courses covering such basic topics as reactor physics, thermal hydraulics, and materials. Finally, the general availability of inexpensive xv xvi Preface powerful micro-and minicomputers has transformed design and analysis procedures so that sophisticated methods are now commonly used instead of earlier, more approximate approaches.

Download or read book Chemical Reactor Development written by D. Thoenes and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-14 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chemical Reactor Development is written primarily for chemists and chemical engineers who are concerned with the development of a chemical synthesis from the laboratory bench scale, where the first successful experiments are performed, to the design desk, where the first commercial reactor is conceived. It is also written for those chemists and chemical engineers who are concerned with the further development of a chemical process with the objective of enhancing the performance of an existing industrial plant, as well as for students of chemistry and chemical engineering. In Part I, the `how' and the `why' of chemical reaction engineering are explained, particularly for those who are not familiar with this area. Part II deals with the effects of a number of physical phenomena on the outcome of chemical reactions, such as micro and meso-mixing and residence time distribution, mass transfer between two phases, and the formation of another phase, such as in precipitations. These scale-dependent effects are not only important in view of the conversion of chemical reactions, but also with regard to the selectivity, and in the case of solid products, to their morphology. In Part III, some applications are treated in a general way, including organic syntheses, the conversion and formation of inorganic solids, catalytic processes and polymerizations. The last chapter gives a review of the importance of the selectivity for product quality and for the purity of waste streams. For research chemists and chemical engineers whose work involves chemical reaction engineering. The book is also suitable as a supplementary graduate text.

Download or read book Rotary Bed Reactor for CLC with Carbon Capture written by Zhenlong Zhao and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chemical-looping combustion (CLC) is a novel and promising technology for power generation with inherent CO2 capture. Currently almost all the research has been focused on developing CLC based inter-connected fluidized bed reactors. A new rotating reactor concept for gas fueled CLC is proposed. In the reactor, a solid wheel rotates between the fuel and the air streams at the reactor inlet and exit. Two purging sectors are used to avoid the mixing between the fuel stream and the air stream. The rotating wheel consists of a large number of channels with copper oxide coated on the inner surface of the channels. The support material is boron nitride which has high specific heat and thermal conductivity. Gas flows through the reactor at elevated pressure and it is heated from 823K to 1245K by fuel combustion. The rotary reactor design for a thermal capacity of 1MW has been performed using a simplified model that was developed to predict the performances of the reactor. Preliminary analysis shows that both the fuel conversion efficiency and the carbon separation efficiency are close to unity. The wheel temperature fluctuation is small. There is great potential for further improvement of the construction and operating conditions, which will be followed up in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chemical reaction engineering has as its objective the taking of desired reaction processes from the laboratory to the full-scale production plant. From its early roots in applied chemistry, it started expanding in the 1950s, since when there has been a substantial growth of the subject as a result of much research in universities and industry. In this 1984 third edition of their established textbook, Professors Denbigh and Turner present a fascinating account of the subject, reflecting these changes. The authors have retained their primary aim of giving the reader a sense of orientation within the subject. The design and operation of industrial reactors nowadays requires computer skills, but such computation must be based on a firm grasp of the principles of chemical reaction engineering. The text was written primarily for undergraduate students of chemical engineering, however, there are selections of references enabling all interested readers to find their way into the literature.

Download or read book Rotary redox Reactor based Oxy Combustion Chemical Looping Power Cycles for CO2 Capture written by Chukwunwike Ogbonnia Iloeje and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of CO2 capture-enabled power generation technologies have been proposed to address the negative environmental impact of CO2 emission. An important barrier to adopting these technologies is the associated energy and economic penalties. Chemical-looping (CLC) is an oxycombustion technology that can significantly lower such penalties, utilizing a redox process to eliminate the need for an air separation unit and enable better energy integration. Conventional CLC employs two separate reactors, with metal oxide particles circulating pneumatically in-between, leading to significant irreversibility associated with reactor temperature difference. A rotary reactor, on the other hand, maintains near-thermal equilibrium between the two stages by thermally coupling channels undergoing oxidation and reduction. In this thesis, a multiscale analysis for assessing the integration of the rotary CLC reactor technology in power generation systems is presented. This approach employs a sequence of models that successively increase the resolution of the rotary reactor representation, ranging from interacting thermal reservoirs to higher fidelity quasi-steady state models, in order to assess the efficiency potential and perform a robust optimization of the integrated system. Analytical thermodynamic availability and ideal cycles are used to demonstrate the positive impact of reactor thermal coupling on system efficiency. Next, detailed process flow-sheet models in which the rotary reactor is modeled as a set of interacting equilibrium reactors are used to validate the analytical model results, identify best cycle configurations and perform preliminary parametric analysis for between the reactor and the system while maintaining computational efficiency, an intermediate fidelity model is developed, retaining finite rate surface kinetics and internal heat transfer within the reactor. This model is integrated with a detailed system model and used for optimization, parametric analysis and characterization of the relative techno-economic performance of different oxygen carrier options for thermal plants integrated with the rotary CLC reactor. Results show that thermal coupling in the redox process increases the efficiency by up to 2% points for combined, recuperative and hybrid cycles. The studies also show that the thermal efficiency is a function of the reactor purge steam demand, which depends on the reactivity of the oxygen carrier. While purge steam constitutes a monotonic parasitic loss for the combined cycle, for recuperative and hybrid cycles, it raises the efficiency as long as the steam demand is less than a threshold value. This relationship between reactivity and system efficiency provides a useful selection criteria for the oxygen carrier material. Optimization results based on efficiency and levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) identify nickel-based oxygen carriers as the most suitable for the rotary reactor because its high reactivity ensures low steam demand and reactor cost. Compared to nickel, maximum efficiency and minimum LCOE are respectively 7% lower and 40% higher for a copper-based system; iron-based systems have 4% higher maximum efficiency and 7% higher minimum LCOE. This study also showed that optimal efficiency generally has an inverse profile to that for the optimized LCOE.
