Homogeneous reactor- the reactor where one phase exist for both the reactants.
Hetrogenous reactor - the reactors where more than one phase exist among the reactants gas-liquid-solid.

What is a bare reactor?
It is a nuclear reactor without reflector, consisting only from fuel and moderator.
Can you make a real ark reactor?
An Ark reactor as currently describe in comic is very much like a Nuclear Fuel Cell. Possibly convert energy from Nuclear reaction to power. Possibly a plasma nuclear fusion reactor. I believe in the future it could be made. See the link and compare the similarity of fusion reactor and Ark reactor.
How does water cool down nuclear atoms from exploding?
Water is used in nuclear REACTORS both as the heat energy carrier and as a coolant to prevent overheating. Proper cooling is required or the reactor will overheat, causing a meltdown. This is not the same as a nuclear explosion since all that will happen is the extreme heat will melt or destroy the reactor or its containment, but due to the design of reactors it is impossible to have a nuclear explosion similar to nuclear weaponry in a reactor. A notable reactor meltdown was Chernobyl where the nuclear reaction was allowed to generate too much excess heat and the heat caused melting of reactor components and eventually a steam explosion (water vapour explosion) due to overheating. The main concern for a reactor meltdown is not the immediate destruction of everything in a certain radius but the spraying of highly radioactive materials found only in a reactor over a large radius since this radioactive waste cannot be cleaned effectively and will render the surroundings uninhabitable for decades.
How are breeder reactors different from regular nuclear reactors?
A breeder reactor generates (in a way) new fuel, sometimes more fuel than it uses, by converting non-fissionable isotopes into fissionable isotopes, through neutron capture.
Did chernobyl explode like a bomb?
It did explode, but this was due to a surge in steam pressure which blew off the top of the reactor, it was not a nuclear explosion as in a nuclear weapon.
What is difference between REACTORS and vessels?
What is reactor define it briefly
What is the difference between nuclear reactor and nuclearpower plant?
a nuclear reactor converts binding energy into heat. a nuclear power plant uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity.
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor and those in an atomic bomb?
Nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor are controlled reactions. The reactions in the atomic bomb are not controlled reactions
What has the author Hong H Lee written?
Hong H. Lee has written: 'Heterogeneous reactor design' -- subject(s): Catalysts, Chemical reactors, Heterogeneous catalysis
What is the difference between Chemical Reactor Engineering and CFD?
Chemical reactor engineering is the overall discipline that uses CFD, computational fluid dynamics, as part of the necessary problem-solving data.
What is the difference between bioreactor and chemical reactor?
bioreactors involves organisms or plant cells etc. for conversion and cr nt
What is the difference between a bioreactor and nuclear reactor?
A nuclear reactor uses either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion to generate electricity, while bio-reactors use the excretions of many animals to generate electricity.
What is the difference between transformer and reactor?
A transformer is composed of two coils and wrapped around a core while a reactor is made up of one coil of wire. A transformer is used to increase or decrease the amount of current while a reactor is used to isolate circuits from a noisy background.
What is the difference between plug and mixed flow reactor?
See the Wikipedia article linked below
What is the difference between inductor and inductance?
Inductors can be used for a great many purposes. Terms, such as 'choke', 'reactor', etc., describe applications of inductors.
What are the difference between bus reactor and line reactor?
Bus reactors are the inductors that limit voltage transients between a couple sections of a bus or a couple separate buses. Line reactors are capacitor or user amperage stabilizers placed at points of usage or right before transformers.
What is the difference between fuel of nuclear power plants and the fuel needed to construct a nuclear weapon?
Reactor grade material is usable in most nuclear power plants. Weapons grade material is required for nuclear weapons. For uranium the difference between reactor grade and weapons grade is the level of enrichment: less than 20% uranium-235 is reactor grade, greater than 20% uranium-235 (greater than 90% is prefered) is weapons grade. For plutonium the difference between reactor grade and weapons grade is the level of contamination with plutonium-241: any amount of plutonium-241 is OK for reactor grade, only low levels of plutonium-241 are acceptable in weapons grade as its spontaneous fission rate can cause the bomb to fizzle.
