This text treats the fundamentals of thermodynamics from the perspective of nuclear power systems. In addition to the Four Laws of Thermodynamics, it discusses Brayton and Rankine power cycles in detail with an emphasis on how they are implemented in nuclear systems. Chapters have been brought up-to-date due to significant new results that have become available for intercooled systems and combined cycles and include an updated steam table. The book starts with basic principles of thermodynamics as applied to power plant systems. It then describes how Nuclear Air-Brayton systems will work. It documents how they can be designed and the expected ultimate performance. It describes several types of Nuclear Air-Brayton systems that can be employed to meet different requirements and estimates component sizes and performance criteria for Small Modular Reactors (SMR) based on the Air-Brayton concept. The book provides useful insight into the engineering of nuclear power systems for students and the tabular data will be of great use to practicing engineers. Focuses on the thermodynamic properties at work in nuclear plants; Full coverage of 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. 606 $aNuclear energy 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aHeat engineering 606 $aHeat$xTransmission 606 $aMass transfer 606 $aEnergy systems 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 606 $aEnergy Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/115000 615 0$aNuclear energy. 615 0$aThermodynamics. 615 0$aHeat engineering. 615 0$aHeat$xTransmission. 615 0$aMass transfer. 615 0$aEnergy systems. 615 14$aNuclear Energy. 615 24$aNuclear Energy. 615 24$aEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer. 615 24$aEnergy Systems. 676 $a621.4831 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 $a9910337589203321 996 $aThermodynamics in Nuclear Power Plant Systems$91945064 997 $aUNINA
