Why is the reactor coolant water kept contained within the primary loop instead of allowing it to mix with the feed water and le

Answer:

Yes, It is contaminated and radio active

Explanation:

The coolant in the primary loop is actually in contact with the reactor fuel. So it will have some trace amount of the reactor fuel and all the other radioactive by products like cobalt.

Also the neutrons in the reactor will convert the hydrogen in the water into radioactive tritium. and the oxygen into radioactive nitrogen.

This is why the primary loop water is kept isolated from the feed water.

For the answer to the question above, I the answer is yes, It is <u><em>both </em></u><span><u><em>contaminated and </em></u><u><em>radioactive</em></u></span><u><em> at the same time</em></u>. That's why they keep the water spinning.I hope my answer helped you. Have a nice day!

A disk (radius = 2.00: mm) is attached to a high-speed drill at a dentist's office and is turning at 7.85 times 10^4 rad/s. Dete
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Tangential speed = 157 m/s

Explanation:

Tangential speed = Angular speed x Radius

Angular speed = 7.85 x 10⁴ rad/s

Radius = 2 mm = 2 x 10⁻³ m

Tangential speed = Angular speed x Radius = 7.85 x 10⁴ x 2 x 10⁻³

Tangential speed = 15.7 x 10 = 157 m/s

Tangential speed = 157 m/s

Explains why planetary bodies stay in orbit around the sun
GaryK [48]

The planets all formed from this spinning disk-shaped cloud, and continued this rotating course around the Sun after they were formed. The gravity of the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits. They stay in their orbits because there is no other force in the Solar System which can stop them.

An inductor with an inductance of 2.30H and a resistance of 8.00 Ω isconnected to the terminals of a battery with an emf of 6.00
Basile [38]

Answer:

(a). The initial rate is 2.60 A/s.

(b). The rate of current increases is 0.8658 A/s.

(c). The current is 0.435 A.

(d). The final steady-state current is 0.75 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

Inductance = 2.30 H

Resistance = 8.00 Ω

Voltage = 6.00 V

(a). We need to calculate the initial rate of increase of current in the circuit.

Using formula of initial rate

V=initial\ rate\times inductance

initial\ rate=\dfrac{V}{L}

Put the value into the formula

initial \rate=\dfrac{6.00}{2.30}

initial\ rate=2.60\ A/s

The initial rate is 2.60 A/s.

(b). We need to calculate the rate of increase of current at the instant when the current is 0.500

Using formula of rate of increase of current

rate\ of \ current\ increase=initial\ rate\times e^{\dfrac{-t}{T}}....(I)

Where, T=\dfrac{L}{R}

T=\dfrac{2.30}{8.00}

T=0.2875

Using formula of current

i=\dfrac{V}{R}(1-e^{\dfrac{-t}{T}})

e^{\dfrac{-t}{T}}=1-(i\times\dfrac{R}{V})

e^{\dfrac{-t}{T}}=1-(0.500\times\dfrac{8.00}{6.00})

e^{\dfrac{-t}{T}}=0.333

The rate of current increases is

Put the value in the equation (I)

rate\ of\ current\ increase=2.60\times0.333

rate\ of\ current\ increase=0.8658\ A/s

The rate of current increases is 0.8658 A/s.

(c). We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

i=\dfrac{V}{R}(1-e^{\dfrac{-t}{T}})

Put the value into the formula

i=\dfrac{6.00}{8.00}\times(1-e^{\dfrac{-0.250}{0.2875}})

i=0.435\ A

The current is 0.435 A.

(d). We need to calculate the final steady-state current

Using formula of steady state

i=\dfrac{V}{R}

i=\dfrac{6.00}{8.00}

i=0.75\ A

The final steady-state current is 0.75 A.

Hence, This is the required solution.
