Outline of lecture
Nuclear energy released by fission and fusion reactions is converted to thermal energy. In order to use the thermal energy as power or directly as heat, it is necessary to transport the thermal energy to outside from nuclear reactors and converted into electric energy. Simultaneously, the thermal energy is adequately removed by heat transfer media to control temperatures low enough inside the reactors. These processes consist of heat generation, heat conduction/transfer, heat transport and energy conversion, i. e. heat cycle. Thermal hydrodynamics is important to learn these processes. Thus, this course deals with thermal hydrodynamic phenomena in all of these processes.
Purpose of lecture
The purpose of this lecture is to study the fundamentals of heat generation, cooling, energy transport and energy conversion in various kinds of fission and fusion reactors, and to understand nuclear energy systems.
