A 3000 MWt fast reactor has a 42% efficiency. This reactor operates for 23 months followed by a 1 month down time for refueling

and maintenance. If this reactor operates at an average power of 1200 MWe, what is the capacity factor and availability factor over this 2 year period?

Answer:

capacity factor = 0.952

Availability factor = 0.958

Explanation:

1) capacity factor

capacity factor = actual power output /  maximum power output

                        = (actual power output)/(efficiency * rated power output)

                       = \frac{1200}{\frac{42}{100}*3000}

= 0.952

2) Availability factor

Availability factor  = Actual operation time period/ total time period

                            = 23/24 = 0.958

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 7.85 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 13.91 - 12 = 1.91 mL

We have

density =  \frac{15}{1.91}  \\  = 7.853403141...

We have the final answer as

<h3>7.85 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

A chemical plant produces ammonia using the following reaction at a very high temperature and pressure. Which design issue is mo
Lorico [155]

Answer:

D. The equipment needed to accommodate the high temperature and pressure will be expensive to produce.​

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for the considered reaction, it is clear it is an exothermic reaction because it produces energy; and therefore, the higher the temperature the more reactants are yielded as the reverse reaction is favored. Moreover, since the effect of pressure is verified as favoring the side with fewer moles; in this case the products side (2 moles of ammonia).

In such a way, the high pressure favors the formation of ammonia whereas the high temperature the formation of hydrogen and nitrogen and therefore, option A is ruled out. Since the high pressure shifts the reaction rightwards and the high temperature leftwards, we would not be able to know whether the reaction has ended or not because it will be a "go and come back" process, that is why B is also discarded. Now, since hydrogen and nitrogen would be the "wastes", we discard C because they are not toxic. That is why the most accurate answer would be D. because it is actually true that such equipment is quite expensive.

Best regards!
