Is the nuclear generator 100 efficient explain?
No, it's not. Energy is lost through waste heat (from the reaction) and energy loss from the decay of the nuclear fuel at the heart of the reactor.
What is the process that causes the sun to produce energy?
The sun produces its thermal energy through nuclear fusion. Gravity forces the stellar matter into a smaller and smaller sphere until the pressures and temperatures at the center of the stellar mass becomes so hot that the star's center supports sustained nuclear fusion reactions, usually combining Hydrogen into Helium. Larger stars go on to combine Helium into Carbon, Carbon into Nitrogen, Nitrogen into Oxygen, Oxygen into Fluorine, and so on. . In stellar nuclear fusion, the sum of the mass of the elements before the fusion reaction occurs is larger than the sum of the mass of the product elements. This means that some mass has been lost in the process. This "lost" matter has not actually been lost, but has been converted into electromagnetic energy. It is this fusion-driven matter-to-energy conversion process that causes the sun to produce energy.
Nuclear reaction what is lost as energy is created?
Mass.The total mass of the fragment nuclei after fission, or the composite nucleus after fusion,is less than the mass of the nuclei that entered the process.
What energy conversions take place in a nuclear power station?
Not sure what you mean with "transfer into energy". No new energy is created, and no energy is destroyed. Nuclear fission converts nuclear energy (a type of potential energy) available in the atoms, into other types of energy, like heat.
In a power plant energy is lost as what?
Energy is lost as heat. A typical nuclear power plant produces about twice as much energy as waste heat as it does in electricity. Other power plants are not much better, except for such things as more modern gas plants, which can used combined cycle to recover some of the lost heat (nuclear could too) and even do cogeneration use more waste heat to heat buildings (which nuclear plants probably cannot).
In a nuclear reaction mass must be lost to produce energy. true or false?
False. Both mass and energy are conserved.
Is the nuclear generator 100 efficient explain?
No, it's not. Energy is lost through waste heat (from the reaction) and energy loss from the decay of the nuclear fuel at the heart of the reactor.
What happens to the mass that is lost during fusion?
Mass that is "lost" durning nuclear fusion is converted into binding energy to hold the newly formed atomic nucleus together. The lost mass, which is termed mass deficit, means the nucleus of the newly formed atom has less mass than the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons that make up that nucleus. The stong reaction (strong nuclear force) participitates in the fursion reaction by mediating the conversion of mass into nuclear binding energy (or nuclear glue).It converts into the energy that is the desired end product of the reaction.
What does conservation of mass mean in science term?
That mass can not be gained nor lost - except in a nuclear reaction where it can be exchanged for energy.
Energy is lost from a reaction in a form of what?
energy of a reaction will be lost in the form of heat.
How does nuclear lose energy?
thermal energy lost
What energy is lost from nuclear energy?
Some heat is lost in the vapour that rises from the power plant.
How is energy lost in a nuclear reactor?
how am i meant to know you
What happens to the mass lost in nuclear fusion?
its converted to energy
