I think you mean Pu-239, but we'll look at both Pu-239 and Pu-238
We'll compare to aspects, the decay energy and the fissile energy.
First the decay energy.
U235 alpha decays and releases 4.679 MeV in the process
Pu238 alpha decays and releases 5.593 MeV
Pu239 alpha decays and releases 5.245 MeV
For the fissile energy.
U235 fissiling releases 202.5 MeV
Pu238 does not sustain a fissile, but the spontaneous fissile is 204.66 MeV
Pu239 fissilings releases 207.1 MeV
Pu238, because it does not sustain a fissile (though it does go through spontaneuos fissile) and because it does not emit much other stuff, other then the alpha particle, it works great as a nuclear battery.
For example 8 oz of Pu238 will power the average laptop for about 29 years, without ever needing to be recharged or replaced.
What else can I help you with?
What are the common factors of 235?
The factors of 235 are 1, 5, 47, 235. For them to be common, they need to be compared to another set of factors.
What are reactor and uranium are used in the production of?
A nuclear reactor is a facility which produce electricity and heat from the fission of uranium or plutonium.The energy released by fission of uranium-235 (or other isotopes) is immense compared to the energy content of fossil fuels.
What are 3 benefits of uranium 235?
Highly efficient energy production through nuclear fission. Lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels. Can be used for both electricity generation and medical purposes, such as cancer treatment.
Nuclear energy is an alternate energy produced by?
The fission of uranium-235 nuclei
What is the element that makes nuclear energy?
Uranium 235
Is u235 stable?
No, uranium-235 (U-235) is not stable. It is a radioactive isotope that undergoes radioactive decay, emitting particles and energy in the process.
What is the fuel in nuclear energy?
in some cases; its enriched uranium 235
What is a U -235 regulator?
A U 235 Regulator is something used to regulate the combustion of U 235 which is a grade of Uranium. Another grade of Uranium can be used as a regulator for U 235. A suggested grade for regulation is U 238.
Do nuclear energy have stored energy?
Yes. For example, an atom of uranium-235 has stored energy (potential energy); after it splits, this is released, mainly as heat energy.
What is the formula of uranium-235 during fission?
During fission of uranium-235, the nucleus of uranium-235 absorbs a neutron and becomes unstable. It then splits into two smaller nuclei (such as barium and krypton), releasing energy and additional neutrons in the process. The formula for this process can be represented as: U-235 + 1 neutron → Ba-141 + Kr-92 + 3 neutrons + energy
What are the first 3 common multiples of 235?
The first three multiples of 235 are 235, 470 and 705. For them to be common, they need to be compared to another set of multiples. The first three common multiples of 2, 3 and 5 are 30, 60 and 90.
What size motor is in a 2000 dodge 2500 diesel?
5.9 liter or 360 cubic inches. The high output was 235 hp.
