This revised book covers the fundamentals of thermodynamics
required to understand electrical power generation systems, honing
in on the application of these principles to nuclear reactor power
systems. 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.
