Deep learning model overcomes the challenge of real-world measurements of isotope production target cooling systems

When a particle beam hits a target in an isotope production facility, it generates heat that is removed by water channels. The transfer of heat between the target and the flowing water produces subcooled flow boiling. This is a situation where evaporation and condensation occur simultaneously. Without sufficient cooling, temperatures can reach a critical point, melting and destroying the target. When a particle beam hits a target in an isotope production facility, it generates heat that is removed by water channels.
