Using a diagram briefly explain the layout and functioning of a nuclear power station In your answer refer to the three separate water circuits?
The three water circuits in the nuclear plant are the primary coolant, the secondary or main steam circuit, and the tertiary or condenser cooling system. Below is link to a fairly clear diagram that has all three water circuits in it. Look at the diagram as we give you the scoop one loop at a time. Primary coolant is circulated (forced by the main coolant pumps) through the reactor core to pick up heat. This hot primary coolant is circulated through that steam generator where it boils secondary water to create steam. The primary coolant leaves the steam generator cooler than when it went in (but still hot!), and then returns to the reactor's pressure vessel (where the reactor core is housed) to be reheated. It's a closed loop. In the secondary or main steam system, the feedwater turns to steam in the steam generator. It then leaves that steam generator and goes through the main steam header to the big steam turbines that drive the electric generators. In the main condenser below the steam turbine, the steam condenses back into water as the condenser cooling water circulates through the condenser. The water that used to be steam is now feedwater, and it's pumped back into the steam generator to begin the steam cycle again. The condenser cooling water that cooled the exhaust steam to convert it back to water is pumped out into a heat exchanger (evaporative cooling tower). Thus cooled there, the main condenser cooling water is pumped back into the main condenser to remove heat from the exhaust steam to convert it back to water. This completes the main condenser cooling cycle. A link below will lead you to a fairly clear diagram with the three cooling circuits in it. With a bit of jumping between the explanation and the diagram, you should be able to see everything clearly.
Why is there steam above the hot water?
There's steam because the water is hotter than the air above.
What does scalding mean?
To burn with hot liquid or steam, to treat with boiling water, to criticize harshly
What is the difference between a calorifier and a steam generator?
A calorifier produces hot water, not steam, whilst a steam generator obviously produces steam
What is hot water and steam that erupts from the ground BUBBA?
Hot spring
A what is hot water and steam that erupts from the ground?
geysers
What is the difference between a hot water generator and steam boiler?
boiler use many type of working fluids like water, mercury, liquid sodium, etc., but steam generator works only with water as working fluid. hence all steam generator are boilers but all boilers are not steam generators...
Is a hot spring water and steam the erupts from the ground?
Yep!
Can geothermal energy put CO2 into the atmosphere?
No. Geothermal energy just uses the natural heat and hot rocks under the ground to heat water, often hot enough to make steam. This steam is then used to spin a generator, producing electricity. There is no carbon pollution resulting.
How do people GET coal?
They mine down to get coal. After it's out of the ground, it goes onto a conveyor belt which carries the coal to the power plant. Then it gets cleaned and after that it gets burned. After it gets burned they put it into the water. The water makes the steam (because the coal is hot and water is cold) and the steam turns the turbine. The turbine turns the generator and the generator makes the electricity. Then it's carried to the government with transmission lines.
What is a natural hot spring that occasionally sprays steam and water about the ground?
e) A natural hot spring that occasionally sprays hot water and streams? Q
Why don't nuclear subs use electric motors instead of steam turbines?
nuclear power makes hot water which turns into steam. instead of turbine how about a generator..
What is the term for a feature such as Old Faithful that ejects steam and hot water from a holw in the ground?
A geyser.
What is a natural hot spring that occasionally sprays water steam above the ground?
A hot spring that naturally shoots steam and boiling water is called a geyser.
Can I use a steam generator instead of a hot water heater?
Yes you can, but all generators should be used out doors to reduce risk of carbonbinoxzide poisoning
