What Is a source of energy that utilizes uranium-235 in a fission reaction to vaporize water The steam is then used to turn turbines to generate electricity?
nuclear power
What is difference between cavitation and supercavitation?
CAVITATION is the process of formation of vapour bubbles of flowing fluid in a region where the pressure of the liquid falls below its vapour pressure and the sudden collapsing of these vapour bubbles in region of high pressure. where SUPERCAVITATION IS THE CONTROLLED FORM OF CAVITATION WHICH HELP US TO attain more underwater speed
What is the point in wind turbines?
There is no point in wind turbines
Is it true that the ultrasonic cleaner uses the process of cavitation for cleaning instruments?
yes
Is this true or false in a controlled nuclear chain reaction the energy released as heat can be used to generate electricity?
It is true. The heat can flash water to steam, which spins turbines, which generates electricity.
Give the differences between impulse and reaction turbines?
In the impulse turbines the moving blades and nozzle are in series. In the reaction turbines, the blades are fixed.
Are Kraftwerk Union turbines impulse or reaction?
They are all reaction type. No inpulse stage is used in KWU turbines
What are the dis advantages of turbo generators?
they are quite a maintenance problem lots of pitting and cavitation on the blades low speed turbines ( water wheels ) are easier to get to and dont have near the problem and are easily inspected
What are the two basic types of steam turbines?
impulsive turbine reaction turbine
How steam turbines be classified?
1) Impulse turbine 2) reaction turbine
When was Emerson Cavitation Tunnel created?
Emerson Cavitation Tunnel was created in 1949.
What has to happen to nuclear before it cam be used to generate electricity?
The nuclear reaction produces heat The heat is used to make steam The steam makes the turbines spin The turbines make electricity

What is a cavitation plate on a boat?
A cavitation plate is the adjustable metal plate that runs along the bottom of the transom on a V-drive. Some people call the flat metal plate on an outboard or outdrive a cavitation plate but the correct name is anti ventilation plate and cavitation and ventillation are not the same. It is similar in function to Trim Tabs. A cavitation plate is used to adjust the trim of a V-Drive and keep the nose on the water. Here is a link to a picture on PerformanceBoats dot com In this picture of a V-drive, the cavitation plate is anodized red.
How cavitation can be eleminated in a pump?
cavitation is caused when vapour pressure in the fluid in higher equal to the surrronding presure. in the case of centrifugal pump, when the hydraulic pressure (due to height) in the fluid falls below the vapour pressure of the fluid itself, cavitation wil occur.
Comparison between impulse and reaction turbines?
in the case of impule turbine total energy at inlet is kinetic energy and in case reaction turbine energy at inlet is kinetic and pressure......
