Explain the two advantages and the two disadvantages of fission as an energy source.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer with Explanation:

1) The advantages of fission energy are:

a) Higher concentration of energy : Concentration of energy or the energy density is defined as the amount of energy that is produced by burning a unit mass of the fuel. The nuclear energy obtained by fission has the highest energy density among all the other natural sources of energy such as coal,gas,e.t.c.

b) Cheap source of energy : The cost at which the energy is produced by a nuclear reactor after it is operational is the lowest among all the other sources of energy such as coal, solar,e.t.c

2) The disadvantages of fission energy are:

a) Highly dangerous residue: The fuel that is left unspent is highly radioactive and thus is very dangerous. Usually the residual material is taken deep into the earth for it's disposal.

b) It has high initial costs of design and development: The cost to design a nuclear reactor and to built one after it is designed is the most among all other types of energy sources and requires highly skilled personnel for operation.

A centrifugal pump is required to pump water to an open water link situated 4 km away from the location of the pump through a pi

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

P= 5.5 bar

Explanation:

Given that

L= 4000 m

d= 0.2 m

Friction factor(F) = 0.01

speed V= 2 m/s

Head = 5 m

Head loss due to friction

$h_f=\dfrac{FLV^2}{2gd}$

$h_f=\dfrac{0.01\times 4000\times 2^2}{2\times 9.81\times 0.2}$

$h_f=40.77m$

So the total head(H) = 5 + 40.77 + 10.3 =56.07

Where 10.3 m is the atmospheric head.

We know that

P=ρ g H

So total Pressure

P= 1000 x 9.81 x 56.07 Pa

$P=5.5\times 10^5\ Pa$

P= 5.5 bar

What is the basic formula for actual mechanical advantage?

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Mechanical Advantage Formula

The efficiency of a machine is equal to the ratio of its output to its input. It is also equal to the ratio of the actual and theoretical MAs. But, it does not mean that low-efficiency machines are of limited use. An automobile jack, for example, have to overcome a great deal of friction and therefore it has low efficiency. But still, it is extremely valuable because small effort can be applied to lift a great weight.

Also, in another way the mechanical advantage is the force generated by a machine to the force applied to it which is applied in assessing the performance of the machine.

The mechanical advantage formula is:

MA = FBFA

Explanation:

MAmechanical advantageFBthe force of the object

FAthe effort to overcome the force

A centimeter is Viooth of a meter, while a kilo-

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

b. False

Explanation:

A centimeter is a hundredth of a meter. This means 1/100 ,1 cm = 0.01 m

A kilo is 1000 grams.

The first answer is false because a hundredth isnot written well.

The second statement is false because the comparison given is of different units of measure. For distance is meters where as for weight is kilograms.

Using the celsius_to_kelvin function as a guide, create a new function, changing the name to kelvin_to_celsius, and modifying th

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

# kelvin_to_celsius function is defined

# it has value_kelvin as argument

def kelvin_to_celsius(value_kelvin):

# value_celsius is initialized to 0.0

value_celsius = 0.0

# value_celsius is calculated by

# subtracting 273.15 from value_kelvin

value_celsius = value_kelvin - 273.15

# value_celsius is returned

return value_celsius

# celsius_to_kelvin function is defined

# it has value_celsius as argument

def celsius_to_kelvin(value_celsius):

# value_kelvin is initialized to 0.0

value_kelvin = 0.0

# value_kelvin is calculated by

# adding 273.15 to value_celsius

value_kelvin = value_celsius + 273.15

# value_kelvin is returned

return value_kelvin

value_c = 0.0

value_k = 0.0

value_c = 10.0

# value_c = 10.0 is used to test the function celsius_to_kelvin

# the result is displayed

print(value_c, 'C is', celsius_to_kelvin(value_c), 'K')

value_k = 283.15

# value_k = 283.15 is used to test the function kelvin_to_celsius

# the result is displayed

print(value_k, 'is', kelvin_to_celsius(value_k), 'C')
