Prediction of the remaining time and time interval of pebbles in pebble bed HTGRs aided by CNN via DEM datasets

Prediction of the time-related traits of pebble flow inside pebble-bed HTGRs is of great significance for reactor operation and design. In this work, an image-driven approach with the aid of a convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed to predict the remaining time of initially loaded pebbles an...
