Haseeb Ur Rehman: Nuclear Principles in Engineering, Gebunden

Klappentext

Several emerging application areas are driving a revival in nuclear engineering, including new nuclear reactor designs (advanced water-cooled reactors, small modular reactors, and microreactors) and their various applications beyond electricity production and a revolution in nuclear medicine, nuclear space exploration, hydrogen production, and homeland security. This fully updated introductory textbook provides students and practitioners with the fundamentals of nuclear principles in engineering for a thorough understanding of physical processes relating to neutron physics, nuclear structures, and radiation interactions. To comprehend physical phenomena, hands-on computational exercises supported by mathematical details and real-life examples are provided to communicate the nuclear principles concepts. A new chapter details the evolution of nuclear power plants, explaining the modern-day technologies based on design details linked to the basic principles of nuclear engineering. In addition, every chapter is supplied with the problems solutions and answers.

*Nuclear Principles in Engineering,*Third Edition, is written for students, engineers, physicists, and scientists who need up-to-date information on basic nuclear concepts and calculation methods, and will serve as an invaluable resource for training programs in the nuclear sector.

• Offers an extensive introduction to nuclear engineering with numerous applications;
