What is the effect of temperature on conversion value in cstr?

Temperature affects the conversion value in a CSTR in two ways: 1) it should increase the rate of conversion 2) it should shift the equilibrium of the reaction note that in shifting the equilibrium, it shifts the equilibrium of ALL reactions including side reactions which can be suppressed or promoted If the reaction is nearing equilibrium prior to exiting the reactor, the second effect can be very significant. Increasing the rate of conversion could allow faster throughput in the reactor with the same conversion - unless the effect on equilibrium shift is significant


How long are the fuel rods typically left in the reactor core in a BWR or a PWR?

The length of time we see fuel rods left in the core of a reactor will depend on the time it takes to deplete the nuclear fuel in those rods. Reactor design, specifically fuel rod design, and the rate at which the fuel is consumed during operation all have an effect. Typical life of the fuel in a nuclear reactor at a power station is several years.


Is it true that a change in pressure may affect the equilibrium position but has no effect on the equilibrium constant?

No.

What effect does a catalyst have on a system equilibrium?

The correct answer is a simple one: The system is unaffected by a catalyst in a system in equilibrium.


What is effective action?

The mass action effect is the shift in the position of equilibrium through the addition or removal of a participant in the equilibrium.


How does adding more reactants effect equilibrium?

Le Chatelier's principle says that, when a equilibrium is disturbed by adding or removing one or more of the contents, the system will attain a new equilibrium to minimize its effect. So when reactants are added to the system, some of they will react and give products in order to gain the new equilibrium.

Limitation for Control rod in absorbing neutrons?

Control rods are designed usually to be effectively 'black' which means they absorb all incident slow neutrons, by having enough boron or other material in them to do this. The nuclear physics effect that this has on the reactor will then depend on the geometry of the arrangement, ie how many rods are provided in what sort of array and in how many places in the reactor compared with the array of fuel assemblies. This is decided by the nuclear design of the reactor, there are now adequate physics design programs to calculate what is required for a particular reactor. For safety the control rod capacity must be enough to always be able to shutdown the reactor and hold it down with an adequate margin, whatever the reactor state, which varies with refuelling and burnup when neutron absorbing fission products are taken into account. So it is quite a complicated calculation but one that can be done with certainty.
