Different shapes of nuclear fission and fusion to nuclear energy?
Nuclear fission is the splitting of heavy nuclei (as U-235) when bombarded by neutrons. The nuclear fusion is the combination of two lighter nuclei into one nucleus. Both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion result in loss of mass (or mass defect) that transforms into energy according to formula E = mc2 (c is light velocity). The resulting energy manifests itself as heat energy/
Is fusion nuclear decay or nuclear synthesis?
Fusion is nuclear synthesis, combining atoms of lesser mass into atoms of greater mass. Decay is reducing the mass of larger (unstable) atoms to form atoms of lesser mass.
In nuclear fusion mass is tansformed into?
Energy
What is the reaction of nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is the process of merging nuclei with smaller masses into a nucleus with a larger mass.
How fission and fusion work?
Nuclear fission is the splitting of heavy nuclei (as U-235) when bombarded by neutrons. The nuclear fusion is the combination of two lighter nuclei into one nucleus. Both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion result in loss of mass (or mass defect) that transforms into energy according to formula E = mc2 (c is light velocity). The resulting energy manifests itself as heat energy that could be extracted and made use of as process heat, kinetic energy, and/or electricity.
What are the products of nuclear fission and fusion?
The nuclear fission and/or fusion results in loss of mass (or mass defect) that transforms into energy according to formula E = mc2 (c is light velocity). The resulting energy manifests itself as heat energy that produces steam. The steam spins the turbines that spins electric generators and hence producing electricity.
Does nuclear fusion violate the law of conservation of energy?
No, nuclear fusion does not violate the law of conservation of energy. In nuclear fusion, energy is released when atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, and this process does not create or destroy energy, but rather transforms it from one form to another.
What happens to a mass in both fission and fusion?
It happens a loss of mass that transforms into energy according to the formula: E = mc2
What does nuclear energy transform to?
Nuclear energy transforms to thermal energy (through nuclear fission or nuclear fusion). Thermal energy transforms into kinetic energy (eg produces steam that drives steam turbines). The kinetic energy transforms into electric energy (through electric generators).
What does E equals mc2 have to do with nuclear fusion?
Some mass is "lost" during nuclear fusion and E = mc2 gives the amount of energy that this "lost" mass will be equal to.
The process of combining two small nuclei into one nucleus of larger mass is called?
Nuclear fusion. This process releases a large amount of energy due to the conversion of mass into energy as per Einstein's equation E=mc^2. Fusion reactions are the primary source of energy in the sun and other stars.
How nuclear fusion differ to nuclear fission in terms of energy release?
Energy from nuclear fusion is around 400 times more than that of nuclear fission for same mass.
