What else can I help you with?
Uranium fuel pellets used in nuclear power station produce far more energy per kilogram than the energy produced by burning coal How much coal has to be burnt to produce the same amount of energy?
To produce the same amount of energy as one kilogram of uranium fuel pellets in a nuclear power station, approximately 3,500 kilograms of coal must be burnt. This is due to the higher energy density of uranium compared to coal.
How much coal would have to be burned to release the same amount of energy as one kilogram of uranium that undergoes nuclear fission?
To release the same amount of energy as one kilogram of uranium undergoing nuclear fission, approximately 3.6 metric tons of coal would need to be burned. Uranium undergoes much more efficient energy release through fission compared to burning coal.
Why is electrical energy inexhaustible and renewable?
Electrical energy is a PRODUCED energy, not a SOURCE energy. It is produced by other things- burning oil, gas or coal, or uranium uses non-renewable energy.
How do biomass stations work?
If you mean for producing electricity, not very different from burning fossil fuels. In the US about 1700MW can be produced from biomass at present.
What is a Pollutant which may be produced by large amounts of sulfur dioxide from coal burning power stations?
copper or nickel or platinum etc etc
How coal equals one ounce of uranium?
The energy produced from burning one ounce of uranium is equivalent to burning approximately 3 tons of coal. This is because uranium has a much higher energy density and efficiency in power generation compared to coal. This means that a small amount of uranium can produce the same amount of energy as a much larger amount of coal.
Is uranium found in coal deposits and is it combustible?
1. Yes, all coals contain traces of uranium. 2. Uranium is not combustible; the "burning" of uranium in nuclear reactors is a nuclear reaction, not a reaction with oxygen.
How many kilograms of coal contains the same energy as 1kg of uranium?
Approx. 3 000 t coal (for the complete nuclear fission of 1 kg of the isotope 235U).
What is the color of the flame produced by burning butane?
The flame produced by burning butane is typically blue in color.
What is the color of flame produced by burning magnesium?
The color of the flame produced by burning magnesium is a bright white.
What is the name of gas produced by the burning of fuel?
The gas produced by the burning of fuel is carbon dioxide.
What element is black and is produced when there is incomplete burning?
Carbon is the element that is black and is produced when there is incomplete burning.
