Thermal conductivity correlation for uranium nitride fuel between 10 and 1923 K

Abstract This research compiled and analyzed UN fuel thermal conductivity data covering the temperature range from 10 to 1923 K, and fuel density of 93% to 100% TD and, then developed a thermal conductivity correlation for 100% dense UN fuel: k(W/m K) = 1.37T 0.41 . This correlation predicts the thermal conductivity as a function of temperature within ± 10% of the data.
