Artificial Neural Network model for Intermediate Heat Exchanger of Nuclear Reactor

In this article we illustrated the applications of artificial neural network in a nuclear reactor. We have designed and developed an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model for process modeling of Intermediate Heat Exchanger (IHX) subsystem in nuclear reactor. Based on the theoretical calculations carried out for primary and secondary outlet temperatures of IHX the multi layer neural network is implemented with back propagation algorithm for modeling of the IHX. It has several advantages as compared to the conventionally calculated results. The results show that neural network model gives faster and more accurate prediction of output for a given data.
