How are breeder reactors different from nuclear reactors

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Breeder reactors are different from conventional nuclear reactors because they produce more fuel than they consume when producing energy and can re-use the plutonium they produce to fuel the reactor.

Explanation:

Nuclear reactors use uranium as a source of fuel to generate the required energy.These reactors produce less fissionable matter than they consume.For example, the amount of plutonium produced in nuclear rectors is less than that produced in Breeder reactors.In Breeder reactors, the plutonium produced can be separated and collected to be reused as fuel in the reactor.Additionally, breeder reactors use a coolant such as liquid sodium equipping the neutrons with high energy thus increasing the chances  of the neutrons to be captured by uranium isotopes and be converted to plutonium.

A wave has a wavelength of 0.5 meters and a frequency of
120hz.how long would it take for this wave to travel 300 meters.

Neat problem !

If we want to know how long it would take to cover some distance,
we'll need to know its speed.

            Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)

                                   = (0.5 m) x (120 / sec)

                                   =    60 m/s .

Then ...

                     Time = (distance) / (speed)

                               = (300 m) / (60 m/s)

                               =    5 seconds . 

Why is saturn still giving off extra energy?Please help!!!!!!!!

Homework due tomorrow!

Last question!!!!!

Answers

There is not a "for sure" answer yet, but scientist thinks that it might be due to Saturn's cloud cover, if the cloud cover fluctuated, then Saturn would scatter infrared light differently, giving off more energy than it needs to.

A gas isn’t heated from 298 k to 367 k while it’s volume changes from 2.5 L to 3.9 L. If the initial pressure of the gass is 1.1 atm , what is the final pressure of the gass

Answers

Answer:

0.8684 atm

Explanation:

Using combined gas equation,

PV / T = k

P1*V1 / T1 = P2*V2 / T2

P1 = 1.10 atm

P2 = ?

V1 = 2.5L

V2 = 3.9L

T1 = 298k

T2 = 367k

P1*V1 / T1 = P2*V2 / T2

Making P2 the subject of formula;

P2 = P1*V1*T2 / V2*T1

P2 = 1.1*2.5*367 / 3.9*298

P2 = 1009.25 / 1162.2

P2 = 0.8684 atm

Here you go

This problem can be solved using one of the different gas laws, which is shown below:


PV/T


Given:


P1 = 1.1 atm

V1 = 2.5 L

T1 = 298 K


P2 = ?

V2 = 3.9 L

T2 = 367 K


Substituting the given:


P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2


(1.1 * 2.5)/298 = (P2 * 3.9)/367

P2 = 0.868 atm
