A typical nuclear fission power plant produces about 1.00 GW of electrical power. Assume the plant has an overall efficiency of

45.0% and each fission produces 250 MeV of thermal energy. Calculate the mass of 235U consumed each day.

Answer:

mass consumed by 235U each day = 2 kg

Explanation:

electrical power produced = 1 GW = 1 × 10⁹ × (6.24151 × 10¹⁸ ) eV

                                            = 6.24151× 10²¹ MeV/s

thermal energy =  0.420 * 250 = 105 MeV

\dfrac{1 GW}{150 MeV}= \dfrac{6.24151\times 10^{21}}{105}

                                      = 5.94 × 10¹⁹ fission/second

                                       =5.94 × 10¹⁹× 24 × 60 ×60)

                                      =  5.13 × 10²⁴ fission/day

mu = 235.04393 ×  1.660× 10 ⁻²⁷ = 390.1729× 10⁻²⁷ Kg

M = mu ×5.13 × 10²⁴

   = 390.1729× 10⁻²⁷ ×5.13 × 10²⁴

M   =  2 kg(approx.)

mass consumed by 235U each day = 2 kg

Explain why a person who has runny nose is unable to detect smells clearly.
Orlov [11]
If you have a runny nose then the mucus will block the path that smell goes through. So if you are trying to smell a flower then you will have a hard time because the mucus is in the way, or blocking the entrance path. Hope this helps:)

In a transformer, energy is carried from the primary coil to the secondary coil by:________
likoan [24]

In a transformer, energy is carried from the primary coil to the secondary coil by magnetic field in the iron core.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the transformer.

<h3>How transformer works?</h3>
  • An item utilized in the transfer of electric energy is a transformer.
  • AC current is used for transmission.
  • It is frequently used to modify the supply voltage between circuits without altering the AC frequency.
  • The fundamentals of mutual and electromagnetic induction govern how the transformer operates.
  • Magnetic field through the primary coil changes when primary coil current varies. the iron core of the secondary coil likewise has a magnetic field.
  • EMF is therefore generated in the secondary coil.

Thus, we can conclude that, in a transformer, energy is carried from the primary coil to the secondary coil by magnetic field in the iron core.
