How can you find the efficiency of an AGR nuclear reactor?
You can work out the gas flow from the gas circulator characteristics, and measure the reactor inlet and outlet temperatures, so you can work out the reactor thermal output. Then you can measure the thermal conditions in the steam circuit from feed flow and temperature and steam temperature and pressure, this will give the reactor thermal output together with the gas circulator heat input. From all this data work out the best estimate for the reactor output. The generator output is straightforward, then you have to subtract the power being used on the plant for driving the gas circulators and feed pumps etc, to get the net electrical output, then it is just the ratio of that to the reactor thermal output.
Can workers in nuclear power plants be seriously affected by radioactivity in uranium?
In a nuclear power plant (nuclear reactor) the radioactivity of uranium is not a problem in normal work conditions.
What lists accurately illustrates the four main elements of the reactor core in a nuclear power plant?
Send along the lists when you get the chance, and we'll work on it.
How does a nuclear reactor work?
In brief, a nuclear reactor (as we know them), is a device which uses nuclear fission to generate energy that we can tap to do work. With the nuclear reactor, we use nuclear fuel (usually uranium or plutonium), and we arrange for a nuclear chain reaction to occur within the reactor. That reaction creates a lot of thermal energy (heat) through nuclear fission, and that thermal energy can be transferred into water to create steam. With a lot of steam, we can spin large steam turbines to turn generators to create electricity.There are other questions (with answers) here on WikiAnswers that explain in detail the ins and outs of nuclear reactors and nuclear fusion. Check the Related questions and use those links to investigate further.In an atomic energized power plant much like a fossil-filled force plant water is transformed into steam, which thusly drives turbine generators to create power. The distinction is the wellspring of warmth. At atomic force plants, the warmth to make the steam is made when uranium iotas split called splitting.
Working of 210 mw thermal power station?
Thermal power station of 210mw will work on principle of modified Rankine cycle
What is hotwell in thermal power plant?
In a pow4er house steam is expanded in turbine to get work from it . After expansion of steam it is condensed to reuse. The storage tank in which it is stored ,is called hotwell.
How did the Fukushima nuclear power plant work?
like any power plant
What is hydrological power plant?
A hydrolic power plant is a power plant that uses water. The hydrolic power plant uses the evaporation and condensation of water to work. The largest hydrolic power plant is Itaipu power plant.
When was the first nuclear reactor built?
The first demonstration nuclear reactor was built in USA by Enrico Fermi in Chicago Stadium. Fermi was an Italian Physicist, best known for his work on Chicago Pile-1 (the first nuclear reactor). on 26 June 1954, in the town of Obninsk, near Moscow in the former USSR, the first nuclear power plant was connected to an electricity grid to provide power to residences and businesses. Nuclear energy had crossed the divide from military uses to civilian applications.
What is the efficiency of most power plants?
Light water nuclear plants like PWR and BWR have efficiency of about 33 percent, that is the ratio of electric output to reactor thermal output. Gas cooled reactors can be up to 40 percent as they work at higher temperature.
How does a thermal plant work?
A thermal power plant is where electricity is produced by steam turning turbines which drive generators. The steam can come from burning any kind of fuel, namely, fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), or nuclear fusion. It can also come from renewable energy (solar, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel).
How fast does a nuclear fusion reactor work?
Do you mean how much power does it produce? None are working as yet.
