What is reactor period in nuclear engineering?
Reactor period is the time is takes for a reactor's power to increase by a factor of e (2.71828).
What is an autoclave reactor?
a reactor is generally termed as an autoclave reactor,when it is a high pressure batch reactor.mostly this kind of reactors are used for sterilization the reactants..
What are feeder reactors?
Probable you think to a breeder reactor; this type of nuclear reactor produce more fissile material than it consumes.
What is the coolant used in kalpakkam power station in India?
Kalpakkam has both Thermal reactor (Madras Atomic Power Station) and Fast Breeder Reactor -FBTR and PFBR (Under construction). In MAPS (thermal reactor) it is Heavy Water (D2O) Which acts as a coolant as well as moderator, where as in Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) and Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) Sodium (Na) is used as coolant. Since there should not any moderators for fast reactors D2O will not be used as coolant in fast reactors.
What is the name of the mini reactor in Kalpakkam in India?
Kamini
What is the purpose of the reactor chamber in a nuclear reactor?
neutron absorber
What is a shunt reactor?
A shunt reactor absorbs reactive power and increases the energy efficiency of any system. It is a small device used for power compensation in high voltage transmission lines and cable systems.
How generator operates?
It works with two reactor coils for excitation of the field reactor coil , which in turn provides current to the field. The two reactor coils are connected in shunt and series with the output of the generator stator or armature ( from where load is connected).
What is shunt reactors?

What is the Difference between shunt capacitor and shunt reactor?
One is a capacitor and one is a reactor. Shunted capacitors are used to raise th voltage in the power system, while shunt reactors are used to lower it. Capacitors are typically installed close to load because of this; reactors are typically on very high power lines where the capacitance of the power line can cause severe overvoltages when loading is light, and at large generating stations.
What is the purpose of the reactor vessel?
The reactor vessel is the main container that houses the nuclear fuel, control rods, and coolant in a nuclear reactor. Its purpose is to contain and shield the nuclear reactions happening inside, and to provide structural support and safety for the reactor core.
What is the purpose a nuclear reactor?
To produce heat.
Are shunt reactors used in nuclear reactors?
Answer 1. The only shunt reactors I know are used on transmission lines to alter power factor. This is nothing to do with the nuclear reactor in a power plant.Answer 2. I agree. Shunt reactors are use on transmission line and EHV to boost voltage, to generate VARs and for power factor correction.
How compound generator operates?
It works with two reactor coils for excitation of the field reactor coil , which in turn provides current to the field. The two reactor coils are connected in shunt and series with the output of the generator stator or armature ( from where load is connected).
What is Shunt reactor circuit diagram?
The fixed or mechanically switched reactors may be used for the absorption or generation of reactive power, the amount of reactive power produced is fixed and the response time is slow.
What are the differences of Long shunt vs short shunt generator?
In long shunt the shunt field winding is in parallel to both generator and series field. In short shunt the shunt field is in parallel to generator only.
How do you use shunt in a sentence?
The word 'shunt' is both a noun (shunt, shunts) and a verb (shunt, shunts, shunting, shunted).Examples:He had to have a heart shunt put in. (noun)The engineer will shunt the train onto that track instead. (verb)
