The Thermal Expansion Coefficient of Dispersion Nuclear Fuel Elements

Article Preview

Abstract:

A representative volume element is chosen to act as the research object to analyze the thermal expansion coefficient of the dispersion fuel elements. The thermal analysis is carried out for the thermal behaviors using FEM. The results are compared with several theoretical models.
