The comparative study of the specific heat capacity of uranium dioxide according to the fractal structure

Abstract EN

In the present study, we investigate the effectiveness of existing methods for evaluating the heat capacity of uranium dioxide (uo) by considering the fractal structure of materials.

two well known theoretical methods were investigated in this work which have the advantages of giving accurate and efficient calculation results for the heat capacities of uranium dioxide for a wide range of temperatures.

to verify the effectiveness of these theoretical methods, we compare the calculation results with existing experimental data from the literature.

based on the concept of fractality, the results obtained in this work are useful for determining the best theoretical approaches, i.e., those that are more convenient and meaningful for the evaluation of the heat capacities of uranium dioxide.

the approaches and results presented in this study can provide useful knowledge for accurate investigations of the physical properties of other nuclear fuels.
