A bulk (slurry) polymerisation reactor which is made of a closed long tube through which the slurry is circulated. Loop reactors are characterised by a very narrow residence time distribution, leading to uniform product characteristics.

Why does a nuclear reactor have two coolant loops?

A nuclear reactor has two coolant loops to prevent radioactive contamination. The primary loop cools the reactor core to generate power, while the secondary loop transfers heat to produce steam for electricity generation. This dual-loop system ensures that radioactive material from the core does not mix with the water used to generate electricity.


What part of a nuclear reactor uses steam to turn the generator turbine generator condenser cooling loop?

The steam generated in a nuclear reactor is used to turn a turbine, which in turn drives a generator to produce electricity. After passing through the turbine, the steam is condensed back into water in the condenser before being pumped back to the reactor as part of the cooling loop.


Where does the water go after being heated in a nuclear reactor?

Nuclear reactor heats water making steamTurbines are turned by steamCooling tower condenses spent steam back to waterwater is returned to the nuclear reactorIts actually a bit more complicated than this single closed loop, because the water heated by the nuclear reactor itself becomes slightly radioactive. Because of this radioactivity, for safety reasons a system with two closed loops connected by a heat exchanger is used. In the primary loop the water just keeps circulating between the nuclear reactor and the heat exchanger. In the secondary loop the water circulates as in the steps listed above, but substitute Heat exchanger for Nuclear reactor.


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.


What is the pressurized water reactor describe it with neat sketch?

The pressurized water reactor (PWR) is a type of nuclear reactor where water is used as both a coolant and moderator. The reactor core heats up the water, which remains under high pressure to prevent it from boiling. This hot water then passes through a steam generator, where it transfers its heat to a separate secondary water system, creating steam to drive a turbine and generate electricity. The neat sketch of a PWR typically shows the core surrounded by the primary coolant loop and the secondary steam loop connected to the turbine generator.


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 coolant water is kept contained in the primary loop to prevent contamination of the surrounding environment in case of a leak or accident. Mixing it with feed water or allowing it to leave through the cooling tower would increase the risk of radioactive release. Keeping it contained also helps maintain a closed system for efficiency and safety.


Why is the 3 water systems in a nuclear reactor considered a safety feature?

I suppose you mean the three separate cooling loops? This gives redundancy which means that in an accident where one loop might be disabled, there is still adequate reactor cooling available. New reactors have four loops to provide even greater redundancy (and to cope with increased reactor output)


What is used in nuclear power plant to transfer the heat in the primary loop to the secondary loop?

In a nuclear power plant, water is typically used as the coolant and moderator in the primary loop. The heat from the reactor core is transferred to the water in the primary loop, which then goes through a heat exchanger to transfer the heat to a separate water loop in the secondary system. This secondary loop is used to drive a turbine and generate electricity.


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.


What is pressurized water reactor power plant.?

It means that:* There is water, and * It is under higher pressure than normal, i.e., more than 1 atmosphere (or bar) of pressure. At higher pressures, water can achieve a higher temperature (i.e., higher than 100 degrees Celsius) before it boils.
