9783319298382 English 3319298380 This book describes recent technological developments innext generation nuclear reactors that have created renewed interest in nuclearprocess heat for industrial applications. The author's discussion mirrors the industry'semerging focus on combined cycle Next Generation Nuclear Plants' (NGNP) seeminglynatural fit in producing electricity and process heat for hydrogen production. Toutilize this process heat, engineers must uncover a thermal device that cantransfer the thermal energy from the NGNP to the hydrogen plant in the most performanceefficient and cost effective way possible. This book is written around thatvital quest, and the author describes the usefulness of the Intermediate HeatExchanger (IHX) as a possible solution. The option to transfer heat and thermalenergy via a single-phase forced convection loop where fluid is mechanicallypumped between the heat exchangers at the nuclear and hydrogen plants ispresented, and challenges associated with this tactic are discussed. As a secondoption, heat pipes and thermosyphons, with their ability to transport verylarge quantities of heat over relatively long distance with small temperaturelosses, are also examined., · Explains how to use nuclear process heat for industrial applications, especially process heat for hydrogen production · Illuminates the issue of waste heat in nuclear plants, offering a vision for how it can be used in combined-cycle plants · Undertakes the thermal analysis of intermediate heat exchangers throughout the life cycle, from the design perspective through operational and safety assurance stages This book describes recent technological developments in next generation nuclear reactors that have created renewed interest in nuclear process heat for industrial applications.
