This text, including the description of the most relevant phenomenologies and of some advanced techniques in heat transfer with fluids, is mainly aimed at engineers using design or computer analysis programs and codes, in order to achieve a deeper understanding of the phenomenologies and of the applied analysis methods. This text will be helpful to people engaged in developing original computer programs or design methods, because they may find in it basic information on the computer program-oriented solutions of the conservation equations and of the various flow and heat transfer mechanisms. The selection of up-to-date correlations in various heat and mass transfer branches represents, for the designers using traditional techniques, a helpful instrument to integrate the basic handbooks.The trial of representing phenomenologies and problems through elementary concepts makes this text useful to students at the graduate level involved in the study of fluid flow and heat transfer.

Thermal Hydraulic Design of Components for Steam Generation Plants

By: Maurizio Cumo

This book presents discussions regarding the design of the main components for steam generation plants, such as evaporators, steam generators for fossil-fuelled and nuclear power plants, waste heat boilers for chemical and related field plants, and auxiliary components in steam cycle plants. Information regarding the manufacturing and operational phases of the plants, as well as quality control procedures and environmental requirements, is included. The book features the most advanced technology, in addition to special skills and tricks based on the field experience of some of the leading scientific and technical people in the field. Plant manufacturing and operation engineers, engineering companies, and instructors teaching advanced courses in mechanical and chemical engineering will find this text essential reading.

Nuclear plants

By: Maurizio Luigi Cumo

This book of the Publishing House of Sapienza University outlines the operative experience of a great number of nuclear power plants and devices of the nuclear fuel cycle. With main reference to nuclear plants of the so called third generation (Ill or Ill+, i.e. advanced ones) of the European Union and of Euratom research Centres the prospects of future plants of fourth generation (IV, years 2050s) are also described. Large advancements have been obtained by extended cooperation of EU with USA, Japan and connections with Russia, China, India, Canada and other Countries. After Chernobyl (1986) and Fukushima-Daiichi (2011, 3 reactors) accidents with heavy consequences, people interest in nuclear energy decreased all over the world. This book examines in details such accidents to obtain safer designs Gen. IV reactors. In 2003 an initiative of the DOE (USA Department of Energy) launched the so called Generation IV International Forum with 13 Countries (USA, England, France, Canada, Japan, South Corea, South Africa, Argentine, Brasil, Switzerland, EU with Euratom) to design and realise the future reactors of Fourth Generation to substitute third generation reactors at the end of their operative life. Lectors have so a description of the evolution of future reactor types and of prospects that nuclear energy may offer to mankind. Maurizio Luigi Cumo is em. prof. of Nuclear Plants at the University of Rome Sapienza and is member of the Foundation Sapienza, Institution which gives prizes to Sapienza top students and may propose to Sapienza Administrative Council new researches to be undertaken. He was engaged in many international nuclear Institutions and Organisations. In years ‘80s he was engaged in the design of a small-medium reactor inherently safe called MARS (described in this book). Presently, he is in the group of senators and electors of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts of Salzburg, representing Italy, and is president of SIPS, the Historical (1839) Italian Society for the advancement of sciences.
