Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics

This volume provides fundamentals of nuclear thermal–hydraulics for reactor design and safety assessment. It also describes the basis for assessing cooling performance of nuclear reactors under accidental conditions. The descriptions in this book are virtually self-contained, beyond the assumption t...
