Explain the two advantages and the two disadvantages of fission as an energy source.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer with Explanation:

1) The advantages of fission energy are:

a) Higher concentration of energy : Concentration of energy or the energy density is defined as the amount of energy that is produced by burning a unit mass of the fuel. The nuclear energy obtained by fission has the highest energy density among all the other natural sources of energy such as coal,gas,e.t.c.

b) Cheap source of energy : The cost at which the energy is produced by a nuclear reactor after it is operational is the lowest among all the other sources of energy such as coal, solar,e.t.c

2) The disadvantages of fission energy are:

a) Highly dangerous residue: The fuel that is left unspent is highly radioactive and thus is very dangerous. Usually the residual material is taken deep into the earth for it's disposal.

b) It has high initial costs of design and development: The cost to design a nuclear reactor and to built one after it is designed is the most among all other types of energy sources and requires highly skilled personnel for operation.

Is it possible to interface an IC with a different technology such as TTL to HCS12 ports? What are the conditions in terms of el

damaskus [11]

Answer:

The condition is true when their voltage and current specifications with their impedance are matched or complementary to each other.

Explanation:

Solution

Yes it is possible or true to interface an IC with a different technology like the TTL to HCS12 ports. but the condition is that their current and voltage specifications should be matched and their impedance and power also should be matched.

What this implies is that both their voltage and current requirements should be complementary to each other so as their impedance.

Steam enters a turbine at 120 bar, 508oC. At the exit, the pressure and quality are 50 kPa and 0.912, respectively. Determine th

Archy [21]

Answer:

The turbine produces 955.53 KW power.

Explanation:

Taking the turbine as a system. Applying Law of Conservation of Energy:

m(h₁ - h₂) - Heat Loss = P

where,

m = mass flow rate of steam = 1.31 kg/s

h₁ = enthalpy at state 1 (120 bar and 508°C)

h₂ = enthalpy at state 2 (50 KPa and x = 0.912)

Heat Loss = 225 KW

P = Power generated by turbine = ?

First, we find h₁ from super steam tables:

At,

T = 508°C

P = 120 bar = 12000 KPa = 12 MPa

we find that steam is in super-heated state with enthalpy:

Due to unavailibility of values in chart we approximate the state to 500° C and 12.5 MPa:

h₁ = 3343.6 KJ/kg

Now, for state 2, we have:

P = 50 KPa and x = 0.912

From saturated steam table:

h₂ = hf₂ + x(hfg₂) = 340.54 KJ/kg + (0.912)(2304.7 KJ/kg)

h₂ = 2442.4 KJ/kg

Now, using values in the conservation equation:

(1.31 kg/s)(3343.6 KJ/kg - 2442.4 KJ/kg) - 225 KW = P

P = 955.53 KW

Are all transmissions fluids interchangeable

KiRa [710]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

They are not all the same. Moreover, using a fluid that is not approved by the vehicle manufacturer will void the transmission warranty.
