Bi-directional prediction of structural characteristics and effective thermal conductivities of composite fuels through learning from finite element simulation results
Uranium dioxide (UO2) is widely used in nuclear reactors. This fuel has a low thermal conductivity (TC). Increasing its TC can effectively enhance the safety of reactors and fuel efficiencies. A prevalent approach to increasing the TC of UO2 is to inject a second phase material with a high TC into a...
