Abstract

The purpose of this book is to explain the most important physical concepts and mathematical methods commonly used in predicting the behavior of neutrons in nuclear reactors An effort has been made to avoid mathematical complexity that does not lead to a significant increase in physical understanding or is not used in actual reactor design studies In a few instances, therefore, where it appears justified, lengthy derivations have been omitted and only the conclusion given, with references to the relevant literature

Exploration seismology. Volume 1: History, theory, and data acquisition

Book Sheriff, R; Geldart, L

This book is intended both as a text for students in advanced courses and also as a reference book for persons engaged in seismic exploration. The theoretician and student need to appreciate what is practical, and practitioners need to understand theory and the possibilities it may suggest. The authors have tried to strike a balance between theoretical aspects and practical details, that is, to include sufficient theory to enable the reader to follow most of the current literature and enough practical details to make the book of value to the practicing seismologist. This book is structured to be as consistentmore »« less
Renewable energies: Sources, conversion and application

Book Dunn, P

This book describes the various energy sources and discusses the methods by which they may be converted to useful energy forms. Since there is already considerable literature on the large scale conversion such as nuclear plant, it concentrates on the small renewable energy conversion devices. The most important forms of energy converter are described and their principles of operation explained. The general characteristics of these devices are given. The aim of the book is to provide a sound background to the underlying physical principles and to indicate how these can be applied in the design of equipment. Factual information ismore »« less
Prediction and Regulation of Air Pollution

Book Berlyand, M

The book is an updated revision and translation of the 1985 Russian book, Prognoz i Regulivrovanie Zagriazneniia Atmosfery. According to the preface, some sections of the Russian version were reduced because of declining interest, while other sections were expanded. In fact the number of chapters has grown from seven to ten, but the levels of subdivision of those chapters was reduced. The Russian origins of the book account for the strength in Russian and eastern European references; they constitute more than one-third of the 515 references that are included. Of that third, nearly one-third (52) have Berlyand as sole ormore »« less
Introduction to nuclear reactor theory

Book Iliffe, C

This book explains about the business of the design and development of nuclear power stations. It does not presuppose extensive knowledge of nuclear physics on the part of the reader, and the level of mathematics required is that typically attained by the graduate engineer.
Nuclear reactor analysis

Book Duderstadt, J; Hamilton, L

This comprehensive introduction covers the fundamental scientific principles governing nuclear fission reactors and the methods used in modern nuclear reactor analysis and design. The book is divided into four parts: Part 1 presents a relatively elementary and qualitative discussion of the basic concepts of nuclear fission chain reactions, including a brief review of relevant nuclear physics and a survey of modern power reactors. Part 2 develops a simple model of nuclear reactor behavior, assuming that the neutrons sustaining the fission chain reactions diffuse from point to point in the reactor in such a way that their energy and direction ofmore »« less
