DOE Fundamentals Handbook: Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, and Fluid Flow Fundamentals Handbook: 1992

The Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, and Fluid Flow Fundamentals Handbook was
developed to assist nuclear facility operating contractors provide operators, maintenance
personnel, and the technical staff with the necessary fundamentals training to ensure a basic understanding of the thermal sciences. The handbook includes information on thermodynamics and the properties of fluids; the three modes of heat transfer - conduction, convection, and radiation; and fluid flow, and the energy relationships in fluid systems. This information will provide personnel with a foundation for understanding the basic operation of various types of DOE nuclear facility fluid systems.
