Why are nuclear reactions ideal to produce heat energy?

Biology
1 answer:

4 0

When the nucleus of a U-235 atom captures a moving neutron it splits in two (fissions) and releases some energy in the form of heat, also two or three additional neutrons are thrown off. If enough of these expelled neutrons cause the nuclei of other U-235 atoms to split, releasing further neutrons, a fission 'chain reaction' can be achieved. When this happens over and over again, many millions of times, a very large amount of heat is produced from a relatively small amount of uranium.

It is this process, in effect "burning" uranium, which occurs in a nuclear reactor. The heat is used to make steam to produce electricity.

nlexa [21]

Answer:

Determining urinary albumin excretion (UAE) is critical in type 1 and type 2 diabetics because  of nephropathy.

Explanation:

Type 1 diabetes is more likely to induce renal failure, but type 2 diabetes is more common, thus more people with type 2 diabetes have diabetic nephropathy. Urine albumin excretion (UAE), also known as microalbuminuria testing, is used to measure the levels of urinary albumin in diabetics. Prior to reduced renal function and deficiency developing, the microvascular disease can be found by testing for early onset and low albumin levels of albumin in the urine. For those with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, routine urine albumin excretion (UAE) testing is advised as an early sign of renal impairment. For patients with type 2 diabetes, it is advised just at the time of their original diagnosis and yearly afterwards. For those with type 1 diabetes, it is advised to start every 5 years following the initial diagnosis. Controlling both blood pressure and glucose levels can also decrease the loss of renal function.
