What is the benefit of using boron oxide over boric acid in lining of induction furnace?
As per my knowledge Boric acid dissociates into Boron oxide by escape of water molecules from boric acid near to 300 deg centrigrade; hence bonding may be weakened. But in case of Boron oxide use, there is no dissociation of Boron oxide.
What is an up flow furnace?
An up-flow furnace is a heating device that draws in air from near floor level in a building, heats it and then discharges the warmed air through a vent or plenum at the top of the machine. The warmed air is then fed into ductwork that distributes it throughout the building. This type of furnace is useful for installation below the area to be heated.
What is latent heat of LPG?
Because LPG is a mixture, the value of the latent heat will depend on the exact composition of the mixture. The main components of LPG are:propane - C3H8propylene (propene) - C3H6isobutane - C4H10n-butane - C4H10butylene (butene) - C4H8Since LPG is usually mostly propane and butane, a rough estimate would be in the range of the values for these two components. Note that latent heat is dependent on temperature as well. for the purposes of this answer we will use 30 °F (near the boiling point of butane at atmospheric pressure)Hvap(propane @ 30 °F) = 163 BTU/lbHvap(butane @ 30 °F) = 166 BTU/lb
How is the water treated in a water treatment plant?
Each Water treatment facility is designed for the water it is treating.The water treatment plant near my home is fairly simple considering it provides water to about 200,000 people.The water is pumped in from the River and checked for contaminants the plant can't clean up. Chemicals and oil for example.It goes through a three part filter. If you watch the Water Filter pitcher adds on TV its quite similar on a huge scale. They use a bed of Gravel with finer gravel on top with the final layer being activated Charcoal.Once it has gone through the filter it gets treated with Chlorine checked for the 10 th time and pumped into the system.Optional depending on what the source water are things like a tank for chemical precipitation of dissolved solids. Fluoride treatment and a bunch of other things.In some cases:If the water is particularly bad or in an Emergency reverse osmosis is used on large scale systems. The Canadian Government maintains a system in several shipping containers for deployment all over the world.

In the 1980s a nuclear reactor exploded and burned near which town?
Chernobyl, in the Ukraine, was the site of a nuclear reactor fire and radiation leak on April 26, 1986.
In the 1980 a nuclear exploded and burned near which town?
Chernobyl, in the Ukraine, was the site of a nuclear reactor fire and radiation leak on April 26, 1986.
Did a nuclear plant ever exploded in the US?
No, but the reactor at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania had a near melt-down. Nuclear plants don't explore. They have meltdowns.
Is potassium used as nuclear reactor coolant?
No. Potassium is probably one of the worst things to have anywhere near a reactor for the purposes of cooling.
When and where did the first nuclear reactor generate electricity?
Electricity was generated for the first time by a nuclear reactor on December 20, 1951, at the EBR-I experimental station near Arco, Idaho, which initially produced about 100 kW.
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.
Where is Pripiat?
Pripiat is a city very close to Chernobyl in Ukraine. (Ukraine is a nation in Eastern Europe) It is in Northern Ukraine near the border of Belarus.In 1986 a nuclear reactor in a nuclear power plant in Chernobyl exploded, causing a complete evacuation of Pripiat. Some died, only because it exploded at 1 o'clock in the morning, local time. The United Nations then launched a project in Pripiat to help the people devastated by the disaster.
Why do nuclear reactors have to be located near water?
Water is used as coolant in most reactor plants to keep the reactor cool and prevent over heating. They do not necessarily need to be near a source of water; water just has to be available. However, a lot of nuclear reactors are build by a natural source of water so that the water can be used as an emergency source of coolant to keep the reactor covered with water in case of a rupture.
Where is the nuclear station in Sydney?
In Sydney (and in fact all Australia) there is only one nuclear reactor, this is at Lucas Heights near Sydney. It is used to produce radio-isotopes, not electricity.
To find out what happened at chernobyl?
The Chernobyl disaster occurred on April 26, 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. A reactor exploded during a safety test, releasing a significant amount of radioactive material into the atmosphere. The explosion caused widespread contamination and led to the evacuation and resettlement of thousands of people.
Which nuclear facility was the site of the worst nuclear accident?
The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant underwent a level 7 event - the worst accident so far. The plant, located in the Soviet Union near Pripyat in Ukraine lost its number four reactor on 26 April 1986. A link to the Wikipedia article on the accident is provided.
What happens if there is an earthquake by the nuclear plant?
This question is too broad-- it depends on the size of the earthquake. The one in Japan was so large that it knocked out the power source, which, along with the backup diesel generators being knocked out by the tsunami, created the disaster at Fukushima. However, that doesn't mean every earthquake near a nuclear reactor will result in catastrophe. There are many small or even medium sized ones that happen near/at nuclear reactor sites and nothing happens.
