A spray pond is a system of pipes and spray nozzles that spray water into the air to cool the water. They are similar in this way to cooling towers in that they dissipate waste heat to the atmosphere principally through evaporation. Spray ponds offer significant advantages over mechanical draft cooling towers for waste heat rejection including superior simplicity and operability, lower preferred power requirements, and lower capital and maintenance costs. Several nuclear power plants constructed in the 1970's employ spray ponds as the plants' ultimate heat sink to dissipate the waste heat…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
A spray pond is a system of pipes and spray nozzles that spray water into the air to cool the water. They are similar in this way to cooling towers in that they dissipate waste heat to the atmosphere principally through evaporation. Spray ponds offer significant advantages over mechanical draft cooling towers for waste heat rejection including superior simplicity and operability, lower preferred power requirements, and lower capital and maintenance costs. Several nuclear power plants constructed in the 1970's employ spray ponds as the plants' ultimate heat sink to dissipate the waste heat generated by the nuclear reactors during normal and accident conditions. For these plants to be licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, tests were conducted to demonstrate the ability of the spray ponds to dissipate the required heat under extreme environmental conditions. Since design basis accident conditions for the plants did not exist during these tests, analytical models were developed to predict the operation of the plants under these extreme conditions. The purpose of this book is to summarize the results of this research including field and laboratory tests and empirical and analytical predictive models.

Autorenporträt
Charles F. Bowman, P.E., is the retired President of Chuck Bowman Associates, Inc. (CBA), an engineering consulting firm serving the electric power industry since 1994. Chuck received his BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Tennessee, and he is a registered Professional Engineer in Tennessee. CBA specialized in thermal performance analysis of electric power generating cycles and related fields including the design and analysis of heat exchangers, cooling towers, spray ponds, cooling water systems and more. Before forming CBA, Chuck was with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for 28 years where he supervised the engineering of cooling water systems for the nuclear plants. Prior to his retirement from TVA, he was the Senior Engineering Specialist for thermal performance and cooling water systems in TVA's Corporate Engineering Office. Chuck has served as a consultant to the Electric Power Research Institute, authoring Alternative to Thermal Performance Testing and/or Tube-Side Inspections of Air-to-Water Heat Exchangers and the Turbine Cycle Equipment Engineering Excel Workbook; has served on ASME committees that authored PTC 23.1 - 1983, Code on Spray Cooling Systems, and on PTC 12.5 - 2000, Single Phase Heat Exchangers; and has served on the American Nuclear Society's ANS-2.21 Working Group, Criteria for Assessing Atmospheric Effects on the Ultimate Heat Sink. Chuck was a contributing editor on the Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers, 12th Edition. He is the principal author of Thermal Engineering of Nuclear Power Stations - Balance of Plant Systems and Engineering of Power Plant and Industrial Cooling Water Systems, both published by the CRC Press, and Engineering and Design of the Oriented Spray Cooling System.
