This Volume 5 of the successful book package "Multiphase Flow
Dynamics" is devoted to nuclear thermal hydraulics which is a
substantial part of nuclear reactor safety. It provides knowledge
and mathematical tools for adequate description of the process of
transferring the fission heat released in materials due to
nuclear reactions into its environment. It step by step
introduces into the heat release inside the fuel, temperature
fields in the fuels, the "simple" boiling flow in a pipe
described using ideas of different complexity like equilibrium,
non equilibrium, homogeneity, non homogeneity. Then the "simple"
three-fluid boiling flow in a pipe is described by gradually
involving the mechanisms like entrainment and deposition, dynamic
fragmentation, collisions, coalescence, turbulence. All heat
transfer mechanisms are introduced gradually discussing their
uncertainty. Different techniques are introduced like boundary
layer treatments or integral methods. Comparisons with
experimental data at each step demonstrate the success of the
different ideas and models. After an introduction of the design
of the reactor pressure vessels for pressurized and boiling water
reactors the accuracy of the modern methods is demonstrated using
large number of experimental data sets for steady and transient
flows in heated bundles. Starting with single pipe boiling going
through boiling in the rod bundles the analysis of complete
vessel including the reactor is finally demonstrated. Then a
powerful method for nonlinear stability analysis of flow boiling
and condensation is introduced. Models are presented and their
accuracies are investigated for describing critical multiphase
flow at different level of complexity. Therefore the book
presents a complete coverage of the modern Nuclear Thermal
Hydrodynamics.
