What is the difference between a chemical engineer and a nuclear engineer?
The main difference is specilization. I am a chemical engineer myself, and we have the option of specializing in a wide variety of degrees, such as genetic engineering. Note that chemical engineering is a very broad field dealing with polymers, metallurgy, biology, environmental chemistry, and the list goes on. Genetic engineering, in short, is really a specialization of chemical engineering to specifically biological chemistry.
How much money do you get for designing submarines?
There is no single job for submarine design. Design is done by teams of engineers, working to specifications and performance standards set by contract with either General Dynamics (Electric Boat) or Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, at least here in the U.S. The contract will have what the Navy wants, and the 2 companies come up with a design they believe will fit the Navy's requirements. There are literally many engineers that work on the project. Design and development is usually a collaborative process that takes years. I remember being briefed by COMSUBLANT on the Seawolf-class design in 1985, long before it was built. Salary depends also on who you're working for and what systems you're designing. Nuclear engineers tend to make more, and it also depends on whether you're military, civilian government, or a contractor. Contractor employees will always make more than their government counterparts, but many contractor engineers are also former Naval officers/engineers. In the end it's really not about submarine design as it is about being an Electrical, Mechanical, Hydro, Electronics, Nuclear, etc. engineer and the going rate for your experience level in Naval engineering.
What is the function of a nuclear reactor of a nuclear plant?
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
Block diagram of a nuclear power station?
The heart of a nuclear power plant is the nuclear reactor.
Engineers increase the concentration of uranium-235 atoms in nuclear fuel during what process?
Enrichment
What is the form of nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy as used in power plants results from fission of uranium235 and plutonium239
Meaning of nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is energy released either by fissioning of heavy nuclei such as Uranium235 or Plutonium239, or by fusion of light isotopes such as those of hydrogen.
What are the working conditions of a nuclear engineers?
Nuclear engineers are at the forefront of researching and developing the benefits from nuclear energy and radiation. Engineers combine their knowledge of nuclear energy to the design, research, development, and construction processes.
Where does nuclear energy get its power?
From the fissioning of the nuclei of uranium235 and plutonium239. The energy released appears as thermal energy in the surrounding fuel material
What is a sentence for energy?
Nuclear energy is obtained by the fissioning of nuclei of uranium235, in a controlled chain reaction in a nuclear reactor, which produces heat that can be converted to electricity by normal power plant methods.
What kind of math do nuclear engineers use?
Nuclear Physics!
What careers use plutonium-238?
Nuclear physicists Nuclear engineers Nuclear scientists
Who work with zirconium?
Zirconium and zirconium compounds: chemists, ceramists, nuclear engineers, metallurgists, aerospace engineers, etc.
How do neutrons electrons and protons relate to nuclear energy?
These are the constituents of atoms. Nuclei are made up of protons and neutrons. Useful nuclear energy is only obtained from a few nuclei which can be made to fission and release energy. The two main ones are Uranium235 and Plutonium239.
Where does a nuclear engineer work in?
watch the simpsons... homer is a nuclear engineer, and he works in a powerplant therefore; nuclear engineers work in nuclear powerplants THE END!
