What is the use of reactor transformer in furnace?
Stabilise the arc and optimize the operation of the furnace.
What are a completely mixed flow reactor and its concentration characterisrtics?
a completely mixed reactor. the concentration in the reactor is the same that flows our of the reactor
Functions of nuclear reactors?
One of the primary functions of a nuclear reactor is to maintain a chain reaction. Also, nuclear reactors are meant to provide a steady flow of neutrons.
When was Experimental Breeder Reactor I created?
Experimental Breeder Reactor I was created in 1950.
What is a FBB reactor?
You may mean FBR - this stands for Fast Breeder Reactor
Primary function of moderator in nuclear reactor?
What is the primary function of a Moderator in a nuclear reactor
Name one type of nuclear reactor?
CANDU, a reactor type designed in Canada which uses heavy water as the primary coolant.
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.
How does a nuclear reactor eliminate heat?
Heat is eliminated through use of reactor coolant passing over the nuclear fuel in the primary coolant loops.
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.
In a pressurized water-reactor the primary cooling water?
Boils in the core and is used to turn the turbine
Does a graphite moderator cool a reactor?
The primary role of graphite moderator is to moderate the neutron energies however it may also capture some heat during reactor operation.
Why does a nuclear reactor have two coolant loops?
The primary loop is exposed to the radioactivity of the reactor, and so becomes radioactive itself. The secondary loop is not radioactive, and may be more exposed to the environment.
What happens to the primary cooling water in a pressurized water-reactor?
It evaporates into the atmosphere using a cooling tower.
How is a Pressurized Water Reactor different from a Boiling Water Reactor?
In a PWR the pressure in the reactor primary circuit is kept high enough to prevent boiling, and heat is transferred to a secondary circuit at a lower pressure where steam is produced for the turbine. In a BWR a proportion of the water passing into the reactor is allowed to boil off feeding directly to the turbine. Otherwise, the reactor core itself is very similar.
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.
How sodium is used in nuclear reactor?
Some early and some experimental reactors used sodium as the primary coolant.
