NUCE 781 Adv Therm Hydraulics in NUCE

This course provides the principles of nuclear system thermal hydraulics and cover from advanced single-phase fluid mechanics and heat transfer relevant to nuclear system to two-phase flow principles and modeling. Topics include thermal hydraulic characteristics of power reactors, thermal design principles and reactor heat generation, thermodynamics of nuclear energy conversion, thermal analysis of fuel elements, review of single-phase flow, transport equations for two-phase flow, two-phase flow dynamics, two-phase heat transfer, and single channel analysis.
