Thermal Engineering of Nuclear Power Stations: Balance-of-Plant Systems serves as a ready reference to better analyze common engineering challenges in the areas of turbine cycle analysis, thermodynamics, and heat transfer. The scope of the book is broad and comprehensive, encompassing the mechanical aspects of the entire nuclear station balance of plant from the source of the motive steam to the discharge and/or utilization of waste heat and beyond. Written for engineers in the fields of nuclear plant and thermal engineering, the book examines the daily, practical problems encountered by mechanical design, system, and maintenance engineers. It provides clear examples and solutions drawn from numerous case studies in actual, operating nuclear stations.

Reviews for Thermal Engineering of Nuclear Power Stations: Balance-of-Plant Systems

"""The book has been well-developed to give a thorough understanding of the fundamental thermal design characteristics of the Balance of Plant associated with a typical commercial nuclear power plant."" Christopher M. D’Angelo, Zachry Nuclear Engineering, USA ""The book is a helpful collection of routine practical problems that may be encountered by mechanical design, system, and maintenance engineers during the nuclear power plant operation. The most valuable topics for readers are power plant cooling (Ch. 10-14) that ensure the plant reliability, waste heat utilization (Ch. 15), and heat exchangers (Ch. 16-18) for plant performance efficiency improvement."" Yaroslav Chudnovsky, Gas Technology Institute, USA"
