    Introduction to advanced engineering simulation and modeling as analysis, and predictive techniques with a focus on application in the nuclear field. Reporting on internship. Report writing, communication, discussion. Use of computational technique to solve engineering and engineering systems problems. The use of software packages, development of simulation models, and building relationship to physical experiences are incorporated. The lectures will provide an exposure to a range of application, based on the scientific exploitation of the power of computation across various disciplines. Basic knowledge necessary for intelligent simulation and interpretation of simulations of transients in nuclear power plants. Lecture 1.5 hours, laboratory 2.5 hours. Prerequisites: ENNE 4010 with a minimum grade of C or department head approval. Pre- or Corequisites: ENGR 2240 or 2250 and 3050. Laboratory/studio course fee will be assessed. Supplementary course fee assessed.

    Properties and selection of materials for nuclear steam supply systems. Implications of radiation damage to reactor materials and material problems in nuclear engineering are discussed. An overview of crystal structure and defects, dislocation theory, mechanical properties, radiation damage, hardening and embrittlement due to radiation exposure and material problems. Analysis and application of materials to applications and use in industrial sectors beyond the nuclear industry. Techniques of joining and using advanced materials in the industrial sectors. Mechanics techniques for components in plant systems, product applications, their functional purposes, with models of material behavior to determine adequacy of component design. Considerations include mechanical loading, brittle fracture, inelastic behavior, elevated temperatures, neutron irradiation, and seismic effects. Experiments on basic material properties and characterization include microstructure, mechanical properties and radiation effects. Lecture 3 hours.
