Which energy transformation occurs in the core of a nuclear reactor?

1 answer:

5 0

The correct answer among the choices given is option B. The energy transformation that occurs in the core of a nuclear reactor is from nuclear energy to thermal energy. In a power plant nuclear fission which involves nuclear energy to heat up water around it. This part is the core of the process.

Answer:

$\frac{h_{liquid} }{ h_{body} }$ = 5/9

Explanation:

This is an exercise that we can solve using Archimedes' principle which states that the thrust is equal to the weight of the desalted liquid.

B = ρ_liquid g V_liquid

let's write the translational equilibrium condition

B - W = 0

let's use the definition of density

ρ_body = m / V_body

m = ρ_body V_body

W = ρ_body V_body g

we substitute

ρ_liquid g V_liquid = ρ_body g V_body

$\frac{\rho_{body} }{\rho_{liquid} } } = \frac{V_{liquid} }{V_{body} } }$

In the problem they indicate that the ratio of densities is 5/9, we write the volume of the bar

V = A h_bogy

Thus

$\frac{V_{liquid} }{V_{1body} } = \frac{ h_{liquid} }{h_{body} }$

we substitute

5/9 = $\frac{h_{liquid} }{ h_{body} }$

A small water pump is used in an irrigation system. The pump takes water in from a river at 10oC, 100 kPa at a rate of 5 kg/s. T

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

0.98kW

Explanation:

The conservation of energy is given by the following equation,

$\Delta U = Q-W$

$\dot{m}(h_1+\frac{1}{2}V_1^2+gz_1)-\dot{W} = \dot{m}(h_2+\frac{1}{2}V_2^2+gz_)$

Where

$\dot{m} =$ Mass flow

$h_1 =$ Specific Enthalpy (IN)

$h_2 =$ Specific Enthalpy (OUT)

$g =$ Gravity

$z_{1,2} =$ Heigth state (In, OUT)

$V_{1,2} =$ Velocity (In, Out)

Our values are given by,

$T_i = 10\°C$

$P_1 = 100kPa$

$\dot{m} = 5kg/s$

$z_2 = 20m$

For this problem we know that as pressure, temperature as velocity remains constant, then

$h_1 = h_2$

$V_1 = V_2$

Then we have that our equation now is,

$\dot{m}(gz_1) = \dot{m}(gz_2)+\dot{W}$

$\dot{W} = \frac{(5)(9.81)(0-20)}{1000}$

$\dot{W} = -0.98kW$

A thermally insulated vessel containing a gas whose molar mass is equal to M and the ratio of specific heats cP /cV = γ moves wi

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

∆T = Mv^2Y/2Cp

Explanation:

Formula for Kinetic energy of the vessel = 1/2mv^2

Increase in internal energy Δu = nCVΔT

where n is the number of moles of the gas in vessel.

When the vessel is to stop suddenly, its kinetic energy will be used to increase the temperature of the gas

We say

1/2mv^2 = ∆u

1/2mv^2 = nCv∆T

Since n = m/M

1/2mv^2 = mCv∆T/M

Making ∆T subject of the formula we have

∆T = Mv^2/2Cv

Multiple the RHS by Cp/Cp

∆T = Mv^2/2Cv *Cp/Cp

Since Y = Cp/CV

∆T = Mv^2Y/2Cp k

Since CV = R/Y - 1

We could also have

∆T = Mv^2(Y - 1)/2R k
