Handbook on Thermal Hydraulics of Water-Cooled Nuclear Reactors, Volume 3, Procedures and Applications includes all new chapters which delve deeper into the topic, adding context and practical examples to help readers apply learnings to their own setting. Topics covered include experimental thermal-hydraulics and instrumentation, numerics, scaling and containment in thermal-hydraulics, as well as a title dedicated to good practices in verification and validation. This book will be a valuable reference for graduate and undergraduate students of nuclear or thermal engineering, as well as researchers in nuclear thermal-hydraulics and reactor technology, engineers working in simulation and modeling of nuclear reactors, and more. In addition, nuclear operators, code developers and safety engineers will also benefit from the practical guidance provided.

Dr. Yassin Hassan is the Department Head and Professor at Texas A&M University. He received his master’s and doctorate in nuclear in nuclear engineering from the University of Illinois, and a master’s in mechanical engineering from the University of Virginia. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Society of Mechanical of Mechanical Engineers and American Nuclear Society (ANS). In 2007, Hassan was sworn in as a part-time technical judge to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. He has authored more than 490 refereed publications in technical journals and conference proceedings (195 technical journals and 295 conferences) and more than 380 summaries in American Nuclear Society transactions (the largest for any ANS member since its establishment in 1950). He also serves as editor-in-chief of the Journ
