Desalination in Nuclear Power Plants presents the latest research on a variety of nuclear desalination techniques for different nuclear reactor systems; it includes also several aspects regarding competitiveness, sustainability, safety, and licensing process. Authors Alonso, del Valle, and Ramirez explore the possibilities of the cogeneration of water and electricity using a nuclear reactor. This book consolidates the latest research to provide readers with a clear understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the thermal, membrane, and hybrid desalination processes, along with a comprehensive methodology to guide the reader on how to perform levelized cost analyses for water and electricity. The conditions for the coupling of nuclear reactors and desalination plants are presented, and techniques to maximize water and energy production and to reduce their corresponding costs are provided. Mathematical modeling techniques for different components of the power plant are also included based on mass and energy state equations, as well as different steam currents alternatives for coupling along with a proposed method for their evaluation. - Explains nuclear cogeneration in the context of multiobjective optimized methods and their application in the design of a cogeneration system of water and electricity - Explores principles to optimize the cogeneration process from an economic and thermal perspective (exergoeconomic analysis) - Includes competitiveness, sustainability, safety, and licensing of the nuclear desalination system
Dr. Alonso is currently a Professor and Deputy-Director at Technical University of Madrid, Faculty of Aerospace Engineering (ETSIAE/UPM). He lectures at graduate and post-graduate levels on various topics such as Air Transport Management and Aerospace Engineering. He is also involved in the organization and management of different courses and seminars and a visiting professor at several Universities.
