The development of clean and safe sources of energy is becoming ever more critical as global warming advances. As such, studies in this field will be welcomed by the research community and the chapters in this book will advance readers' knowledge. The controversial topic of nuclear power is addressed by three contributions: one takes a global and historical perspective on steam-reheating options in nuclear power plants, another considers the thermal aspects of fuels used in SuperCritical water-cooled reactors and the third proposes nuclear power as the future of power generation, with reference to Generation III and IV reactors. Other chapters address the thermophysical properties of fluids at critical and supercritical pressures, and the transfer of heat to supercritical fluids.
