Multiphase flow dynamics 5: nuclear thermal hydraulics (2^nd Ed.)

This monograph contains theory, methods and practical experience for describing complex transient multi-phase processes in arbitrary geometrical configurations. It is intended to help applied scientists and practicing engineers to understand better natural and industrial processes containing dynamic evolutions of complex multi-phase flows. The book is also intended to be a useful source of information for students in the high semesters and in PhD programs.

From the content: Heat release in the reactor core.- Temperature inside the fuel elements.- The simple steady boiling flow in a pipe.- The simple steady three-fluid boiling flow in a pipe.- Core thermal hydraulic.- Flow boiling and condensation stability analysis.- Critical multiphase flow.- Steam generators.- Moisture separation.- Pipe networks.
