Product Description
Dynamics And Control of Nuclear Reactors By Thomas Kerlin (2019,PB)
Description
Dynamics and Control of Nuclear Reactors presents the latest knowledge and research in reactor dynamics, control and instrumentation; important factors in ensuring the safe and economic operation of nuclear power plants. This book provides current and future engineers with a single resource containing all relevant information, including detailed treatments on the modeling, simulation, operational features and dynamic characteristics of pressurized light-water reactors, boiling light-water reactors, pressurized heavy-water reactors and molten-salt reactors. It also provides pertinent, but less detailed information on small modular reactors, sodium fast reactors, and gas-cooled reactors.
Key Features
- Provides case studies and examples to demonstrate learning through problem solving, including an analysis of accidents at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi
- Includes MATLAB codes to enable the reader to apply the knowledge gained to their own projects and research
- Features examples and problems that illustrate the principles of dynamic analysis as well as the mathematical tools necessary to understand and apply the analysis
Publishers Note: Table 3.1 has been revised and will be included in future printings of the book with the following data:
Group Decay Constant, li (sec-1) Delayed Neutron Fraction (bi)1 0.0124 0.000221

3 0.111 0.001313
4 0.301 0.002647
5 1.14 0.000771
6 3.01 0.000281
Total delayed neutron fraction: 0.0067
Readership
Nuclear engineers and engineering students, particularly those lacking an understanding of how to carry out reactor simulations and design control systems; system engineers and modellers; graduate students of nuclear engineering, especially those concerned with energy systems; researchers concerned with the simulation of new reactor designs and the development of electrical grid requirements
