<span>Let us refer to boat speed as X and water speed as Y On the way down the stream, the water speed is added to the speed of the boat: speed of the boat (X) + water speed (Y) is 9km/h When the boat is moving upstream, water speed is taken away from the speed of the boat: Speed of the boat (X) - water speed (Y) is 7.2 km/h Therefore: X + Y = 9 : X - Y = 7.2 2X = 16.2 X = 8.1 X + Y = 9 8.1 + Y = 9 Y = 0.9 The river is flowing at 0.9 km/h</span>

In a few sentences, compare and contrast pressurized water reactors and boiling water reactors.
kondaur [170]
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.
