THERMODYNAMICS, HEAT TRANSFER, AND FLUID FLOW
ABSTRACT
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.
