For pressurized water reactors the coolant is not permitted to boil in the core of the PRW, however the coolant in boiling water reactors is permitted to do so in the core of BWR. Pressurized water reactors have an indirect cycle. Whereas, the boiling water reactors go through a direct cycle. Both are light water reactors.

Explanation:

The main difference between the pressurized water reactors and boiling water reactors is in the process of generation of steam. A boiling water reactor uses a single water circuit to produce steam directly while a pressurized water reactor produces steam indirectly using two water circuits. In a boiling water reactor steam is directly produced by boiling the water coolant while in pressurized reactor the heat from the reactor core is used.

2 H2O2-> 2H20+02

Luden [163]

Answer:

This reaction is of the spontaneous decomposition of hydrogen peroxide down into water and oxygen. Add 2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide and 2 molecules of water. Since oxygen is naturally diatomic, the total number of atoms of each element is now the same on both sides of the equation so it is balanced.

Why do tin roofs make creaking sounds on hot days?

laiz [17]

Answer: Yes, on many slate-roofed homes as temperatures change, such as cooling at night or heating during the day, thermal expansion or contraction of the slates may cause movement that in turn causes snapping, popping, or cracking noises, even bangs and clanks or clicks from the roof.

A 1451 kg car is traveling at 48.0 km/h. How much kinetic energy does it possess? K.E. =

jarptica [38.1K]

   Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

BUT . . . in order to use this equation just the way it's written,
the speed has to be in meters per second. So we'll have to
make that conversion.

KE = (1/2) · (1,451 kg) · (48 km/hr)² · (1000 m/km)² · (1 hr/3,600 sec)²

   = (725.5) · (48 · 1000 · 1 / 3,600)² (kg) · (km·m·hr / hr·km·sec)²

   = (725.5) · ( 40/3 )² · ( kg·m² / sec²)

   = 128,978 joules (rounded)

A 5-g lead bullet traveling in 20°C air at 300 m/s strikes a flat steel plate and stops.

densk [106]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Kinetic Energy and the Energy Produced by the heat loss. In mathematical terms kinetic energy can be described as:

$KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$
