Nuclear Plant Thermodynamics for System and Design Engineers

Student Manual

Beschreibung

Chuck Bowman Associates, Inc. has trained hundreds of practicing system and design engineers in the nuclear industry in heat exchanger analysis and thermodynamics. In the past the author has been asked to provide the training material contained in this book for on-site training by others. These requests have been denied for obvious reasons. However, after 50+ years as a practicing Professional Engineer the principal author has retired and now makes this material available at a reasonable cost. The course should be taught by a qualified, experienced mechanical engineer who would be familiar with this material. However, much of the information contained herein is captured in greater detail in the authors' books Thermal Engineering of Nuclear Power Stations - Balance of Plant Systems and Engineering of Power Plant and Industrial Cooling Water Systems, both published by the CRC Press. These books may be viewed as teacher's guide and companions to this material.

Autor

Charles F. Bowman, P.E., is the retired President of Chuck Bowman Associates, Inc. (CBA), an engineering consulting firm serving the electric power industry since 1994. Chuck received his BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Tennessee, and he is a registered Professional Engineer in Tennessee. CBA specialized in thermal performance analysis of electric power generating cycles and related fields including the design and analysis of heat exchangers, cooling towers, spray ponds, cooling water systems and more. Before forming CBA, Chuck was with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for 28 years where he supervised the engineering of cooling water systems for the nuclear plants. Prior to his retirement from TVA, he was the Senior Engineering Specialist for thermal performance and cooling water systems in TVA's Corporate Engineering Office. Chuck has served as a consultant to the Electric Power Research Institute, authoring Alternative to Thermal Performance Testing and/or Tube-Side Inspections of Air-to-Water Heat Exchangers and the Turbine Cycle Equipment Engineering Excel Workbook; has served on ASME committees that authored PTC 23.1 - 1983, Code on Spray Cooling Systems, and on PTC 12.5 - 2000, Single Phase Heat Exchangers; and has served on the American Nuclear Society's ANS-2.21 Working Group, Criteria for Assessing Atmospheric Effects on the Ultimate Heat Sink. Chuck was a contributing editor on the Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers, 12th Edition. He is the principal author of Thermal Engineering of Nuclear Power Stations - Balance of Plant Systems and Engineering of Power Plant and Industrial Cooling Water Systems, both published by the CRC Press, and Engineering and Design of the Oriented Spray Cooling System.
