The book serves as a ready reference to better analyze common engineering challenges in the areas of turbine cycle analysis, thermodynamics, and heat transfer. It covers mechanical aspects of the entire nuclear station balance-of-plant from the source of the motive steam to the discharge and/or utilization of waste heat and beyond.
