It includes all the necessary information regarding the fundamental laws to gain a complete understanding and apply them specifically to the challenges of operating nuclear plants. Beginning with definitions of thermodynamic variables such as temperature, pressure and specific volume, the book then explains the laws in detail, focusing on pivotal concepts such as enthalpy and entropy, irreversibility, availability, and Maxwell relations. Specific applications of the fundamentals to Brayton and Rankine cycles for power generation are considered in-depth, in support of the book?s core goal- providing an examination of how the thermodynamic principles are applied to the design, operation and safety analysis of current and projected reactor systems. Detailed appendices cover metric and English system units and conversions, detailed steam and gas tables, heat transfer properties, and nuclear reactor system descriptions.   Dedicated volume focusing on the thermodynamic properties at work in nuclear plants Full coverage, from underlying scientific principles to applications throughout the nuclear cycle, from fuel processing to waste disposal Gives in-depth consideration to thermodynamic fundamentals in Brayton and Rankine cycles for power generation Handy appendices span steam and gas tables, heat transfer properties, and nuclear reactor system descriptions. 606 $aNuclear energy 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aHeat engineering 606 $aHeat transfer 606 $aMass transfer 606 $aNuclear Energy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/113000 606 $aNuclear Energy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/113000 606 $aEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T14000 615 0$aNuclear energy. 615 0$aThermodynamics. 615 0$aHeat engineering. 615 0$aHeat transfer. 615 0$aMass transfer. 615 14$aNuclear Energy. 615 24$aNuclear Energy. 615 24$aEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer. 676 $a333.7924 676 $a621.042 676 $a621.4021 676 $a621.48 700 $aZohuri$b Bahman$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0720918 702 $aMcDaniel$b Patrick$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299610103321 996 $aThermodynamics in Nuclear Power Plant Systems$91945064 997 $aUNINA
