Technical Project Plan for The Enhanced Thermal Conductivity of Oxide Fuels Through the Addition of High Thermal Conductivity Fibers and Microstructural Engineering
The fabricated surface modified boron nitride epoxy composites exhibit high thermal conductivity, superior thermal stability and good mechanical properties while retaining good electrical insulation properties.
A high-thermal conductivity filler of magnetic carbon nanotube-grafted graphene polyhedra is exploited via annealing of a metal–organic framework (ZIF-67).
The fuel rod performance of enhanced thermal conductivity UO2/graphene composites is investigated through a LBLOCA analysis. The benefits increased monotonically with increasing thermal conductivity in terms of reduced fuel center temperature and PCT. The performance of the UO2/graphene composite fuel is assessed in OPR-1000 (Optimized Power Reactor-1000) during a LBLOCA. Graphene can be a promising material for developing advanced nuclear fuel because of its property about the high thermal conductivity and low absorption cross section. The results confirm a LBLOCA performance related to PCT of the UO2/graphene composite fuel and its potential while maintaining large safety margins.
Novel composite films exhibiting high thermal conductivity along the out-of-plane direction were prepared from two types of immiscible polyimides (PIs) and needle-shaped ZnO particles.
High thermal conductivity was obtained for nanofluid-based EG containing Cu nanoparticle-decorated Gr–MWCNT hybrid material synthesized by chemical reduction.
Boron nitride/graphene oxide hybrids prepared by an electrostatic self-assembly strategy were used as fillers for epoxy composites with high thermal conductivity.
