dedicated to my parents Marzieh and Akbar Zohuri Bahman Zohuri This book is dedicated to Ben Pollared Patrick McDaniel Preface This book covers the fundamentals of thermodynamics required to understand electrical power generation systems It also covers the application of these principles to nuclear reactor power systems It is not a general thermodynamics text, but is a thermodynamics text aimed at explaining the fundamentals and applying them to the challenges facing actual nuclear power systems It is written at an undergraduate level but should also be useful to practicing engineers This book starts with the fundamental definitions of thermodynamic variables such as temperature, pressure, and specific volume It defines the zeroth law of thermodynamics It then explains open and closed systems The ideal gas law is introduced, along with some of its limitations for real gases Gas kinetic theory is then introduced to provide a background for the ideal gas law and a foundation for understanding for the theory of specific heats Then it moves on to the first law of thermodynamics and its realization in the internal energy and enthalpy potentials After addressing several applications, it moves on to the second law of thermodynamics and the concept of entropy It then approaches entropy from the statistical mechanics viewpoint to validate that it truly is a measurable physical quantity It concludes the fundamental theory portion of this book by discussing irreversibility, availability, and the Maxwell relations, touching slightly on the third law of thermodynamics The second portion of this book is devoted to specific applications of the fundamentals to Brayton and Rankine cycles for power generation Brayton cycle compressors, turbines, and recuperators are covered, along with the fundamentals of heat exchanger design Rankine steam generators, turbines, condensers, and pumps are discussed Reheaters and feed water heaters are also covered Ultimate heat rejections by circulating water systems are also discussed vii viii Preface The third part of this book covers current and projected reactor systems and how the thermodynamic principles are applied to their design, operation, and safety analyses Detailed appendices cover metric and English system units and conversions, detailed steam and gas tables, heat transfer properties, and nuclear reactor system descriptions Albuquerque, NM, USA Bahman Zohuri Acknowledgments The authors would like to acknowledge all the individuals for their help, encouragement, and support We have decided not to name them all since some of them may not be around to see the end result of their encouragement, but we hope they can at least read this acknowledgment wherever they may be Last but not least, special thanks to our parents, wives, children, and friends for providing constant encouragement, without which this book could not have been written We especially appreciate their patience with our frequent absence from home and long hours in front of the computer during the preparation of this book ix Disclaimer This document is protected under the copyright laws of the United States and/or other
