Inhaltsangabe
Nuclear engineers advancing the energy transition are understanding more about the next generation of nuclear plants; however, it is still difficult to access all the critical types, concepts, and applications in one location. Advanced Reactor Concepts (ARC): A New Nuclear Power Plant Perspective Producing Energy gives engineers and nuclear engineering researchers the comprehensive tools to get up to date on the latest technology supporting generation IV nuclear plant systems. After providing a brief history of this area, alternative technology is discussed such as electromagnetic pumps, heat pipes as control devices, Nuclear Air-Brayton Combined Cycles integration, and instrumentation helping nuclear plants to provide dispatchable electricity to the grid and heat to industry. Packed with examples of all the types, benefits, and challenges involved, Advanced Reactor Concepts (ARC) delivers the go-to reference that engineers need to advance safe nuclear energy as a low-carbon option.
Über die Autorinnen und Autoren
Ali Zamani Paydar is currently a nuclear engineer researcher and mechanical engineer, studying advanced reactor technology from the perspective of deploying emerging advanced nuclear reactor concepts. Ali earned a bachelor’s degree in atomic physics from the University of Tehran and earned his master’s degree in nuclear engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic). After graduation, he pursued his career as a nuclear researcher and mechanical engineer, specifically in the field of thermal hydraulics and heat transfer of Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR). His main areas of focus are computational fluid dynamics and thermal hydraulics of nuclear reactors from a safety perspective in situations such as boiling, flow instability, and critical heat flux in generation IV nuclear reactors and strategic plans for the proper development of this technology in human life. He has published several papers and books on nuclear technology.
Seyed Kamal Mousavi Balgehshiri is currently carrying out strategic studies on the programs and strategies of different countries in the field of nuclear energy, advanced nuclear reactor development and also energy planning and modeling. Studying the strategies of advanced nuclear countries in diversifying and supplying nuclear fuel based on the “reactor-fuel cycle” network is another area of his work. Seyed earned a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Tabriz, and a master’s degree in nuclear engineering, majoring in fuel cycle and materials, from Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic). Seyed has published several papers and books on nuclear technology.
Dr. Bahman Zohuri is currently an Adjunct Professor in Artificial Intelligence Science at Golden Gate University, San Francisco, California, who runs his own consulting company and was previously a consultant at Sandia National Laboratory. Dr. Zohuri earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in physics from the University of Illinois. He earned his second master’s degree in mechanical engineering, and also his doctorate in nuclear engineering from the University of New Mexico. He owns three patents and has published more than 40 textbooks and numerous journal publications.
