This comprehensive book delves into advanced thermal fluid systems and technologies in nuclear power plants, encompassing a wide range of topics. It provides detailed coverage of the latest reactor designs and their thermal/fluid technologies, going beyond the thermal hydraulic design and analysis of the core. The book also explores other components of nuclear power plants, such as the pressurizer, containment, and the entire primary coolant system.

In addition to the core design, the book emphasizes the use of appropriate models for small-scale resolution of the velocity and temperature fields through computational fluid mechanics. This approach enhances the accuracy of predicted operating conditions in nuclear plants. Furthermore, the book introduces considerations of the laws of scaling and uncertainty analysis, providing a deeper understanding of the phenomena encountered during accidents.

FEATURES:
1. Discusses fundamental ideas for various modeling approaches for the macro- and microscale flow conditions in reactors.
2. Covers specific design considerations, including natural convection and core reliability.
3. Enables readers to better understand the importance of safety considerations in thermal engineering and analysis of modern nuclear plants.
4. Features end-of-chapter problems.
5. Includes a solutions manual for adopting instructors.

This book serves as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in nuclear engineering and studying thermal/hydraulic systems in nuclear power plants. Its comprehensive coverage and practical insights make it an invaluable resource for professionals in the field.
