Handbook on Thermal Hydraulics in Water-Cooled Nuclear Reactors 2nd Edition

Handbook on Thermal Hydraulics in Water-Cooled Nuclear Reactors, 2nd Edition by Francesco D’Auria and Yassin A. Hassan is a definitive, practice-oriented reference for engineers, researchers and advanced students engaged in reactor design, safety analysis and operational support. This authoritative volume captures the essential principles and modern methods of thermal hydraulics for water-cooled nuclear reactors, presented with clarity and real-world relevance.

Clear, concise explanations introduce fundamental concepts—fluid flow, heat transfer, two-phase behavior and system dynamics—then progress to advanced modeling techniques and transient analysis. Updated in this 2nd Edition, the handbook balances theoretical rigor with practical guidance: scaling laws, experimental correlations, best-practice simulation approaches and lessons learned from global reactor experience make it especially valuable for applied work across Europe, North America and Asia.

Readers will appreciate the book’s structured approach to problem-solving: diagnostic methods for abnormal events, strategies for thermal-hydraulic validation, and design considerations that directly support reactor safety and performance. Complex topics are supported by illustrative examples and engineering-focused explanations that help bridge academic theory and industrial practice.

Ideal for nuclear engineers, safety analysts, R&D teams and postgraduate students, this handbook is an essential addition to professional libraries and university programs. Whether you need a trusted desk reference for design decisions or a course companion for advanced study, this book delivers the depth and usability professionals demand.
