THE INSTITUTE OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS - Heat and Fluid Flow in Nuclear & Process Plant Safety. I Mech E Conference Publications 1983-4

London England, Mechanical Engineering Publications, 1983. 1st Paperback Edition, Binding: Softcover, Very Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall 0852985142 When designing nuclear and process plant, the questions of safety and accident prevention must be given careful consideration. Heat transfer and fluid flow studies are an integral part of the design for all such plant and understanding of these phenomena is vital for safe operation, particularly in fault situations. Papers on recent research, design, and practical applications in this field were presented at a conference organized by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in May 1983. The subjects covered were safety in pressurized water reactors, heat transfer in fast reactors and gas cooled reactors, effluent dispersion and ventilation problems, as well as safety in nuclear and process plants in relation to single and two-phase systems. This volume, with its emphasis on safety in nuclear plant, provides an up-to-date review of a topical subject. Very tiny slight crease on back cover.
