In a pressurized water reactor the primary cooling water is?
In a pressurized water reactor the primary cooling water is under pressure of around 150 atm and its inlet temperature around 320 degree centigrade.
What is the difference between a pressurized water reactor and a boiling water reactor?
The primary difference between a pressurized water reactor (PWR) and a boiling water reactor (BWR) is that in the BWR, water is actually boiled, and the steam is used to drive a steam turbine, while in the PWR, the primary coolant is not allowed to boil, but is circulated in a closed loop to boil water in a steam generator. The BWR circulates primary coolant through the steam turbine in a closed loop. The PWR contains the primary coolant in a loop that includes the steam generator, and not the steam turbine.
How conduction happens in solids?
what happens is that the primary task of the ponarily part of the solid get infected by ramanages parts in the heat oarticle, thus heating things up.
What happens if a nuclear reactor is not cooled?
A nuclear reactor generates heat by controlled nuclear fission. Primary coolant carries this heat away to make steam. If a reactor is not cooled, it will overheat. Even if it is shut down immediately, the radioactive fragments of fission in the core will still be undergoing radioactive decay. This will continue to generate a lot of what we call decay heat. This heat can be sufficient to melt the metal that forms the fuel elements if cooling is not maintained, and the result is a nuclear meltdown with various consequences.
Where do nuclear power plants store energy?
Nuclear plants don't store energy, except very briefly in the form of heat. In a pressurized water reactor, for example, the water in the primary coolant loop might make a complete circuit several times a minute. The primary loop is used to heat water in the secondary loop, and the secondary loop drives a steam turbine which converts the heat energy into electricity. This goes more or less directly onto the grid; there's not really any way to store it.
In a pressurized water reactor the primary cooling water is?
In a pressurized water reactor the primary cooling water is under pressure of around 150 atm and its inlet temperature around 320 degree centigrade.
In a pressurized water-reactor the primary cooling water?
Boils in the core and is used to turn the turbine
How is air made on the space station?
The primary source of oxygen will be water electrolysis, followed by O2 in a pressurized storage tank.
What is the difference between primary and side effect?
Primary is the main thing that happens. The side effect is what happens because of the Primary thing.
Where is the blower motor fuse located in a 1998 Pontiac grand prix?
under the hood with the other fuses like your primary and secondary cooling fans under the hood with the other fuses like your primary and secondary cooling fans
What type of reactor uses fission to produce energy?
There are two primary design styles of fission reactors to produce electricity. Pressurized, and Boiling water reactors.
What are Hurricane primary effects?
primary effect = primary damage happens as a direct result of the hazard. They Occur Straightaway.

What does it do if you turn your group on roblox to primary?
It becomes your "Primary Group". I don't know what really happens.
What happens to the primary if the co-owner files for bankruptcy?
The primary would be held liable for the debt.
Why is reactor coolant water kept contained in the primary loop instead of allowing it to mix with the feed water and leave through the cooling tower?
Reactor cooling water is potentially contaminated with radioactive elements and you don't want those to be released into the environment, so it is kept in the primary loop.
What is the primary source of cooling for most computers?
don't have anything block the computer. usually in most computers they have fans for cooling anyways, and if you block that or not allow it to do its job it will get hotter because its something you can control.
