商品描述

Introduction to Nuclear Engineering serves as an accompanying study guide for a complete, introductory single-semester course in nuclear engineering. It is structured for general class use, alongside fundamental nuclear physics and engineering textbooks, and it is equally suited for individual self-study.

The book begins with basic modern physics with atomic and nuclear models. It goes on to cover nuclear energetics, radioactivity and decays, and binary nuclear reactions and basic fusion. Exploring basic radiation interactions with matter, the book finishes by discussing nuclear reactor physics, nuclear fuel cycles, and radiation doses and hazard assessment. Each chapter highlights basic concepts, examples, problems with answers, and a final assessment.

The book is intended for first-year undergraduate and graduate engineering students taking Nuclear Engineering and Nuclear Energy courses.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《核工程入門》是一本附帶的學習指南,適用於完整的核工程入門單學期課程。它的結構適合一般課堂使用,與基礎核物理和工程教科書並用,同樣適合個人自學。

本書以現代物理學的基礎為開端,介紹了原子和核模型。接著涵蓋了核能學、放射性和衰變、二元核反應和基礎聚變等內容。通過探討輻射與物質的基本相互作用,本書最後討論了核反應堆物理、核燃料循環以及輻射劑量和危害評估。每章都突出了基本概念、例子、問題與答案以及最終評估。

本書適用於修讀核工程和核能課程的大一本科生和研究生。

作者簡介

Dr. Supathorn Phongikaroon is an Engineering Foundation Professor and Nuclear Engineering Program Director in the Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). He earned his PhD and BS degrees in chemical engineering and nuclear engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park in 2001 and 1997, respectively. Prior to joining the VCU in January 2014, he held academic and research positions at the University of Idaho in Idaho Falls, ID; Idaho National Laboratory in Idaho Falls, ID; and Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC. During his research career, Dr. Phongikaroon established chemical and electrochemical separation of used nuclear fuel through pyroprocessing technology and extended his expertise toward reactor physics and material detection and accountability for safeguarding applications. His effort led to a strong establishment of Radiochemistry and Laser Spectroscopy Laboratories at VCU.

His work has been published in over 50 papers in peer-reviewed journals and presented at over 100 international and national conferences and workshops. He has been able to maintain continuous diverse research support from international and national programs through the Department of Energy, national laboratories, and other universities. He has been Principal Investigator and Co-Principal Investigator for more than 20 external supported projects in total of over 3.17 million dollars of external awards since joining academia in 2007. He has taught more than 30 classes in nuclear, mechanical and chemical engineering-related topics for resident students and more than 10 classes for continuing (long distance ・video conference) education over the last 9 years.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

Dr. Supathorn Phongikaroon是維吉尼亞聯邦大學(VCU)機械和核工程系的工程基礎教授和核工程計劃主任。他於2001年和1997年分別在馬里蘭大學帕克分校獲得化學工程和核工程的博士和學士學位。在2014年1月加入VCU之前,他曾在愛達荷州愛達荷福爾斯的愛達荷大學、愛達荷福爾斯的愛達荷國家實驗室和華盛頓特區的海軍研究實驗室擔任學術和研究職位。在他的研究生涯中,Phongikaroon博士通過熱處理技術建立了用於化學和電化學分離已使用核燃料的方法,並將他的專業知識擴展到反應堆物理學和材料檢測和責任問題,以應用於保護應用。他的努力使VCU的放射化學和激光光譜學實驗室得到了很好的建立。

他的工作已在50多篇同行評審的期刊上發表,並在100多個國際和國內會議和研討會上進行了報告。他通過能源部、國家實驗室和其他大學的國際和國家計劃獲得了持續多樣化的研究支持。自2007年加入學術界以來,他已擔任超過20個外部支持項目的首席調查員和聯合首席調查員,總共獲得了超過317萬美元的外部獎項。在過去的9年中,他為駐校學生教授了30多門核工程、機械工程和化學工程相關課程,並為遠程(視頻會議)教育教授了10多門課程。
