Couverture de l’ouvrage Linear and Non-linear Stability Analysis in Boiling Water Reactors

Linear and Non-Linear Stability Analysis in Boiling Water Reactors: The Design of Real-Time Stability Monitors presents a thorough analysis of the most innovative BWR reactors and stability phenomena in one accessible resource. The book presents a summary of existing literature on BWRs to give early career engineers and researchers a solid background in the field, as well as the latest research on stability phenomena (propagation phenomena in BWRs), nuclear power monitors, and advanced computer systems used to for the prediction of stability. It also emphasizes the importance of BWR technology and embedded neutron monitoring systems (APRMs and LPRMs), and introduces non-linear stability parameters that can be used for the onset detection of instabilities in BWRs.

Additionally, the book details the scope, advantages, and disadvantages of multiple advanced linear and non linear signal processing methods, and includes analytical case studies of existing plants. This combination makes Linear and Non-Linear Stability Analysis in Boiling Water Reactors a valuable resource for nuclear engineering students focusing on linear and non-linear analysis, as well as for those working and researching in a nuclear power capacity looking to implement stability methods and estimate decay ratios using non-linear techniques.

Dr. Alfonso Prieto-Guerrero received his PhD in Sciences in Digital Signal Processing from the National Polytechnics Institute of Toulouse, France. He is currently working at the Metropolitan Autonomous University Campus Iztapalapa (UAM-I), Mexico and his research interests focus on the domain of signal processing and its applications. Dr. Prieto-Guerrero has worked on signal compression, speaker recognition,and communications applications, and is currently collaborating on projects related to nuclear reactor signals. In 2007, he spent time at the TESA laboratory (Telecommunications for space and aeronautics) in Toulouse, France, where he collaborated in the regional project OURSES on biomedical applications via satellite. In 2014, he was awarded the Best Paper Award at the Thermal-Hydraulics international conference (NUTHOS-10).
Dr. Gilberto Espinosa-Paredes is Professor of Transport Phenomena, Nuclear Engineering and Reactor Physics, and Applied Mathematics at the Metropolitan Autonomous University Campus Iztapalapa (UAM-I), where he has been since 1997. Dr. Espinosa-Paredes recently served as Guest Editor of Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations on Severe Accident Analysis in Nuclear Power Plants, and has served on numerous editorial boards.
