------------------------------------------------------------- MSE 2115 HEAT TRNSF FLUD FLOW NUCL PLNT
Class Number: 21382 Instructor: Larry Foulke Time: Wednesday, 6:00 – 8:40pm Location: 370 Benedum Hall (Distance Learning) Credits: 3
THIS COURSE PROVIDES ADVANCED KNOWLEDGE TO PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING AND APPLICATION OF THERMAL AND HYDRAULIC TOOLS AND PROCEDURES USED IN REACTOR PLANT DESIGN AND ANALYSIS. IT ASSUMES THAT THE STUDENT HAS A FUNDAMENTAL KNOWLEDGE BASE IN FLUID MECHANICS, THERMODYNAMICS, HEAT TRANSFER AND REACTOR THERMAL ANALYSIS. THE FOCUS OF THE COURSE IS ON PHYSICAL AND MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS USEFUL FOR DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF LIGHT WATER NUCLEAR REACTOR PLANTS. APPLICATIONS OF MASS, MOMENTUM, AND ENERGY BALANCES ARE COMBINED WITH USE OF WATER PROPERTIES TO ANALYZE THE ENTIRE REACTOR PLANT COMPLEX AS A WHOLE. PRINCIPLES ARE APPLIED THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF MAJOR INDUSTRY CODES TO SPECIFIC CASES.
