Introduction to nuclear engineering, 3rd Ed.
Langue : Anglais
Auteurs : LAMARSH John R., BARRATTA A.J.
The text is designed for third and fourth year Nuclear Engineering students.
The third edition of this highly respected text offers the most current and complete introduction to nuclear engineering available. Introduction to Nuclear Engineering has been thoroughly updated with new information on French, Russian, and Japanese nuclear reactors. All units have been revised to reflect current standards. In addition to the numerous end-of-chapter problems, computer exercises have been added.
- 1. The Scope of Nuclear Engineering.
2. Atomic and Nuclear Structure.
3. Interaction of Radiation with Matter.
4. Nuclear Reactors and Nuclear Power.
5. Neutron Diffusion and Moderation.
6. Nuclear Reactor Theory.
7. The Time-Dependent Reactor.
8. Heat Removal from Nuclear Reactors.
9. Radiation Protection.
10. Radiation Shielding.
11. Reactor Licensing, Safety, and the Environment.
Appendix I. Units and Conversion Factors.
Appendix II. Fundamental Constants and Data.
Appendix III. Vector Operations in Orthogonal Curvilinear Coordinates.
Appendix IV. Thermodynamic and Physical Properties.
Appendix V. Bessel Functions.
- NEW - Discussions of new reactor types including the AP600, ABWR, and SBWR as well as an extensive section on non-US design reactors.
- NEW - The authors have added a discussion on the nuclear Navy and its impact on the development of nuclear energy.
- NEW - Basic nuclear theory chapters include additional discussions on binding energy and such topics as the semi-empirical mass formula and elementary quantum mechanics.
- NEW - Changes in reactor theory sections include a more complete discussion of solutions to the diffusion equation and a more general derivation of the point kinetics equation.
- NEW - Chapter on radiation effects updated to include the latest standards. Both SI and conventional units are discussed and used in examples and problems in this chapter.
