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 hockey puck slides off the edge of a table with an initial velocity of 23.2 m/s and experiences no air resistance. The height
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

15.1°

Explanation:

The horizontal velocity of the hockey puck is constant during the motion, since there are no forces acting along this direction:

v_x = 23.2 m/s

Instead, the vertical velocity changes, due to the presence of the acceleration due to gravity:

v_y(t)= v_{y0} -gt (1)

where

v_{y0}=0 is the initial vertical velocity

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration

t is the time

Since the hockey puck falls from a height of h=2.00 m, the time it needs to reach the ground is given by

h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2.00 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=0.64 s

Substituting t into (1) we find the final vertical velocity

v_y = -(9.8 m/s^2)(0.64 s)=-6.3 m/s

where the negative sign means that the velocity is downward.

Now that we have both components of the velocity, we can calculate the angle with respect to the horizontal:

tan \theta = \frac{|v_y|}{v_x}=\frac{6.3 m/s}{23.2 m/s}=0.272\\\theta = tan^{-1} (0.272)=15.1^{\circ}

Four distinguishable particles move freely in a room divided into octants (there are no actual partitions). Let the basic states
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the door that leads to the room is opened, this gives room for particles to move into the next identical room and divided into octants. Now the amount of space that can be occupied becomes double, the number of basic states has increased by 404916

Briefly explain why small-angle grain boundaries are not as effective in interfering with the slip process as are high-angle gra
artcher [175]

Answer:

Compared to High angle, relatively less presence of Crystallographic misalignment in grain boundary for small angle is reason behind its less effectiveness in interfering with slip process

Explanation:

Because of relatively much less presence of crystallographic misalignment in grain boundary for small angle, small grain boundaries are not as effective in compare to high angle in interfering with slip process

Less crystallographic misalignment in grain boundary causes not much change in slip direction and therefore interference to slip process is minimal.

A scuba diver sees light reflected from the water’s surface. show answer No Attempt If the index of refraction for air is 1.00 a
sasho [114]

Answer:

53.06°

Explanation:

refractive index of air = 1

refractive index of water, n = 1.33

Let the angle of polarisation is ip.

Use Brewster's law,

n = tan ip

1.33 = tan ip

ip = 53.06°

thus, the angle of polarisation is  53.06°.
