Abstract
Abstract Conventional fluids used in fission‐based water‐cooled nuclear reactors have lower heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) and thermal conductivity, which has led researchers to explore high‐performance fluids that can enhance heat transfer in routine operation and prevent core meltdown in the case of accidents. It is important to investigate a wide range of fluids that can help designers improve thermal hydraulic characteristics, such as HTC, critical heat flux, and minimum departure from nucleate boiling ratio (MDNBR). In this study, the effectiveness of nanofluids in enhancing heat transfer parameters, including thermal conductivity and heat capacity, was investigated. Four different nanofluids (Al 2 O 3 –H 2 O, ZrO 2 –H 2 O, Ag–H 2 O, and Si–H 2 O) with pure water as the primary coolant in an HPR‐1000 nuclear reactor were compared using computational methods. Due to computational limitations, only the flow channel among four fuel rods with the highest power density in the core was simulated using Eulerian computational fluid dynamics. The results of this study show that silver water (Ag–H 2 O) nanofluid outperformed other nanofluids and pure water. It had a higher average HTC and MDNBR, with a 67.15 % and 45.23 % improvement, respectively, compared to pure water. The fuel rod wall temperature was also reduced by 28.5 K with Ag–H 2 O compared to water. Comparison of current simulated results with literature data shows a good agreement.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
