coolant is used to keep the reactor cool and prevent it from melting down. The amount of cooling that is required really depends on the the amount of heat being put into the coolant.

How much coolant aka water is needed for a nuclear power station?

It depends on how much it needs to be cooled down, or transferred. The more heat there is the more coolant (water) is needed.


Where do you put antifreeze in a 1998Toyota Corolla CE?

Coolant should be added to the coolant overflow reservoir, that sits very close to the radiator itself. The reservoir is generally a translucent bottle that has a rubber hose running to a fitting below the radiator cap. If performing a drain and refill - you can add the coolant directly to the radiator itself. make sure that the reservoir is filled, as the system will automatically draw more coolant as needed - as air bubbles are worked out of the cooling system. Of course, you should keep in mind what concentration of coolant is needed for the conditions at hand. Most will find that a 50/50 mix of coolant with distilled water is appropriate for the majority of conditions. Coolant used should be either Toyota Red or Toyota Pink coolants for best results. Stay away from any coolants that use silicates for an additive package - as they have a tendancy to damage the seals on the waterpump.


How do you fix a coolant leak on a 91 Chevy cavalier that is not coming from the engine or the hoses or the Radiator or the weep hole from the pump.?

Though it is only meant to be a long lasting temporary measure, most car oriented stores have a powder product that you put into your radiator and it settles to plug the hole. A better solution is to stick with liquid and with a known brand. http://www.wynns.ca/pages/english/e_products_x-cool.html RADIATOR STOP LEAK Add to Coolant as needed or after Radiator Flush.

How much coolant is needed in an average nuclear power station?

Depends on the amount of fuel remaining. Usually at 78% and at 780 Degrees, A Reactor requires 480 Kilo Litres of Coolant [Water] per Day.


How many stations are needed to locate an earthquake?

Typically, at least three seismic stations are needed to accurately locate an earthquake by using triangulation. The more stations that record the earthquake, the more accurate the determination of its location can be.


What is the fewest number of seismographs stations that are needed to locate the epicenter of an earthquake?

Three seismographs stations are needed to pinpoint the location of the epicentre of an earthquake.


What are the similarities between a car and human cooling system?

Cars and humans both require fluid coolants to operate properly. Cars need antifreeze/coolant to prevent overheating or freezing. Humans need coolant to hydrate, lubricate joints, aid digestion, and a host of other vital body functions. In regards to how our cooling systems are similar, a car has channels for the coolants to run along inside the engine and a radiator to dissipate heat from the coolant before returning it to the engine. We have blood, which serves as our primary body fluid for cooling. Blood supplies everything in the body, so when it is cooler, the entire body is cooler. Much like the channels in an engine, the veins in our bloodstream carry fresh coolant everywhere it is needed. To dissipate heat buildup, we sweat, serving as a radiator of sorts. Hope this clears things up!


What is the minimum number of seismic stations needed to locate the epicenter of an earthquake?

The minimum number of seismic stations needed to determine the location of an earthquake's epicenter is THREE.


How many stations are needed to locate the epicenter of an earthquake?

At least three stations are needed to locate the epicenter of an earthquake using triangulation. By comparing the arrival times of seismic waves at these stations, seismologists can pinpoint the epicenter. Additional stations can improve the accuracy of the location.


Where do you add coolant to your c240?

You add coolant to a C240 at the radiator overflow tank. This allows the radiator to suck in coolant as needed when hot.
