What are the functions of the deuterium and tritium atoms in nuclear reactors?
All current nuclear reactors are fission reactors, tritium has no function in a fission reactor, in standard water moderated reactors deuterium also has no function, in heavy water moderated reactors deuterium is the moderator. If we are ever able to make a fusion reactor, deuterium/tritium mix will be used as fuel.
What are some properties of deuterium?
Deuterium, also known as heavy hydrogen, exhibits three separate properties: Physical properties, quantum properties and nuclear properties (the deuteron).
How deuterium are produced?
Deuterium is primarily produced through nuclear reactions in stars, such as the fusion of hydrogen nuclei. It is also produced on Earth through nuclear reactors and particle accelerators, as well as through heavy water electrolysis. Additionally, small amounts of deuterium are naturally found in seawater and can be extracted through a process called fractional distillation.
What are nuclear fusion requirements?
The conditions for nuclear fusion are high temperatures and high pressure.The high temperature gives the atoms enough energy to overcome the electrical repulsion between the protons. Pressure squeezes the hydrogen atoms together. They must be within 1x10 -15meters of each other to fuse. W­ith current technology, we can only achieve the temperatures and pressures necessary to make deuterium-tritium fusion possible.
Where do you find deuterium?
Deuterium can be found naturally in sources such as seawater, where it makes up a small percentage of the hydrogen present. It can also be produced in nuclear reactors or through the process of heavy water electrolysis.
What take an extremely high temperature for nuclear?
Nuclear fusion requires extremely high temperature and great pressure.
What element is used in a nuclear fusion?
deuterium, and tritium
What is the reaction for Nuclear fusion?
That depends on the temperature and pressure. Under different conditions different elements can fuse, starting at the lowest temperature and pressure deuterium and tritium fuse to make helium. In the end at the highest temperature and pressure a variety of reactants fuse to produce a mixture of nickel and iron, then fusion stops. The full list of fusion reaction equations is several hundred equations long and is best found in a book on stellar evolution.
What is the name given to 2H?
2H is called deuterium, which is an isotope of hydrogen. It is commonly used in nuclear reactions and in certain types of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
What are the functions of the deuterium and tritium atoms in nuclear reactors?
All current nuclear reactors are fission reactors, tritium has no function in a fission reactor, in standard water moderated reactors deuterium also has no function, in heavy water moderated reactors deuterium is the moderator. If we are ever able to make a fusion reactor, deuterium/tritium mix will be used as fuel.
What Two deuterium nuclei requires extreme temperatures and .?
Two deuterium nuclei require extreme temperatures and pressure to overcome their mutual electrostatic repulsion and fuse together to form a helium-3 nucleus in a process known as nuclear fusion. This process is the basis for the energy production in the core of stars like our Sun.
In nuclear fusion what element gets fused?
Mainly; hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium
What are the main differences of deuterium and hydrogen?
Deuterium is hydrogen. The difference between deuterium and protium (the regular hydrogen) is that deuterium has an extra neutron. As a result, there are some differences in physical properties such as density, boiling point, etc.
What is a deuterium example of?
An example of deuterium is deuterium oxide, which is commonly known as "heavy water." Heavy water contains a higher proportion of deuterium than regular water. It is used in nuclear reactors as a neutron moderator and in scientific research.
Nuclear fusion can only occur in areas of?
In areas of high temperature and high pressure
What is one obstacle that is used in nuclear fusion?
temperature/pressure needed to start reaction.
How much energy did ultra dense deuterium give off when it unzips it one billion joules per kilogram?
Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen. It isn't clear what you mean by "ultra-dense deuterium". In theory, deuterium can release huge amounts of energy, via nuclear fusion.
