Combined Cycle Driven Efficiency for Next Generation Nuclear Power Plants: An Innovative Design Approach

by Bahman Zohuri

Book Overview

Introduces the concept of combined cycles for next generation nuclear power plants, explaining how recent advances in gas turbines have made these systems increasingly desirable for efficiency gains and cost-of-ownership reduction. Promulgates modelling and analysis techniques to identify opportunities for increased thermodynamic efficiency and decreased water usage over current Light Water Reactor (LWR) systems. Examines all power conversion aspects,...
