Thermal Fluids for Nuclear Reactor Safety Analysis

3 credits · College of Engineering catalogue

Advisory Prerequisite: NERS 471 or graduate standing. Enforced Prerequisite: None. (3 credits) This course gives a broad overview of thermal-hydraulics/fluids for nuclear reactor safety. First, the basic principles of mass energy and momentum are discussed for nuclear applications. Then group projects are performed using NRC computer codes for simulating light water and gas cooled reactors.
