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.

Annealing is a process by which steel is reheated and then cooled to make it less brittle. Consider the reheat stage for a 100-m

zvonat [6]

Answer:

T = 858.25 s

Explanation:

Given data:

Reheat stage for a 100-mm-thick steel plate ( 7830 kg/m3, c 550 J/kg K, k 48 W/m K),

initial uniform temperature ( Ti ) = 200 c

Final temperature = 550 c

convection coefficient = 250 w/m^2 k

products combustion temp = 800 c

calculate how long the plate should be left in the furnace ( to attain 550 c )

first calculate/determine the Fourier series Number ( Fo )

$\frac{T_{0}-T_{x} }{T_{1}-T_{x} } = C_{1} e^{(-0.4888^{2}*Fo )}$

= 0.4167 = $1.0396e^{-0.4888*Fo}$

therefore Fo = 3.8264

Now determine how long the plate should be left in the furnace

Fo = $(\frac{k}{pc_{p} } ) ( \frac{t}{(L/2)^2} )$

k = 48

p = 7830

L = 0.1

Input the values into the relation and make t subject of the formula

hence t = 858.25 s

melinda is using a rectangular brass bar in a sculpture she is creating. the brass bar has a length that is 4 more than 3 times

lawyer [7]

Answer:

180 x 60 inches

Width = 60 inches

Length = 180 inches

Explanation:

Given

Let L = Length

W = Width

P = Perimeter

Length = 3 * Width

L = 3W

Perimeter of Brass = 480 inches

P = 480

Perimeter is given as 2(L + W);

So, 2 (L + W) = 480

L + W = 480/2

L + W = 240

Substitute 3W for L; so,

3W + W = 240

4W = 240

W = 240/4

W = 60 inches

L = 3W

L = 3 * 60

L = 180 inches

A hypothetical A-B alloy of composition 57 wt% B-43 wt% A at some temperature is found to consist of mass fractions of 0.5 for b

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

composition of alpha phase is 27% B

Explanation:

given data

mass fractions = 0.5 for both

composition = 57 wt% B-43 wt% A

composition = 87 wt% B-13 wt% A

solution

as by total composition Co = 57 and by beta phase composition Cβ = 87

we use here lever rule that is

Wα = Wβ ...............1

Wα = Wβ = 0.5

now we take here left side of equation

we will get

$\frac{C_\beta - Co}{C_\beta - Ca}$ = 0.5

$\frac{87 - 57}{87 - Ca}$ = 0.5

solve it we get

Ca = 27

so composition of alpha phase is 27% B

2.) A fluid moves in a steady manner between two sections in a flow

Talja [164]

Answer:

$250\ \text{lbm/min}$

$625\ \text{ft/min}$

Explanation:

$A_1$ = Area of section 1 = $10\ \text{ft}^2$

$V_1$ = Velocity of water at section 1 = 100 ft/min

$v_1$ = Specific volume at section 1 = $4\ \text{ft}^3/\text{lbm}$

$\rho$ = Density of fluid = $0.2\ \text{lb/ft}^3$

$A_2$ = Area of section 2 = $2\ \text{ft}^2$

Mass flow rate is given by

$m=\rho A_1V_1=\dfrac{A_1V_1}{v_1}\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{10\times 100}{4}\\\Rightarrow m=250\ \text{lbm/min}$

The mass flow rate through the pipe is $250\ \text{lbm/min}$

As the mass flowing through the pipe is conserved we know that the mass flow rate at section 2 will be the same as section 1

$m=\rho A_2V_2\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{m}{\rho A_2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{250}{0.2\times 2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=625\ \text{ft/min}$

The speed at section 2 is $625\ \text{ft/min}$ .
