9.1 We want to get an idea of the actual mass of 235U involved in powering a nuclear power plant. Assume that a single fission event releases 200 MeV of thermal energy. A 1,000 MW, electric power plant has a thermal power of approximately 3,000 MWh- a. What rate of fission reactions is required to produce this power? (Note: 1 eV = 1.6 x 10-¹9 J.) b. The reactor core consists of approximately 100 tonnes of UO₂ (1 tonne = 1,000 kg), which is enriched in 2U to 4%. How many full-power years could the reactor operate if all of the 235U were to be fissioned? What factors prevent such complete depletion of the 25U from occurring? C. Under the 2U depletion scenario of part b, what mass of fission products and what mass of high-level wastes (HLW) would be produced?

Pls.answer thank you! A classroom that normally contains 40 people is to be air-conditioned with window air-conditioning units of 5 KW cooling capacity. A person at rest may be assumed to dissipate heat at a rate of about 360 KJ/hr. There are 10 light bulbs in the room, each with a rating of 100 watts. The rate of heat transfer to the classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 15,000 KJ/hr. If the room air is to be maintained at a constant temperature of 21°C, determine the number of window air-conditioning units required.

Problem Statement = You install a heat pump to heat a cottage during the winter using the outside air as the heat source. You wish to maintain the interior temperature of the cottage at 22°C. A simplified model of the heat loss through the walls indicates that heat will need to be supplied at a rate of 0.14(Tinterior - Texterior) where Q is the rate at which heat must be supplied to the cottage (in kW), Tinterior is the interior air temperature (in C), and Texterior is the exterior air temperature (in C). You have a 1kW electric motor available to run the heat pump. What is the coldest winter day when the heat pump will be able to keep up to the heating demand?

Answer question 2 based on the results of question 1. You have a natural gas furnace in your home that used 78,500 cubic feet of natural gas for heating last winter. Your neighbor has a furnace that burns heating oil, and used 516 gallons of heating oil last winter. You can convert the natural gas and heating oil consumption data into Btu to determine which home used more energy for heating. Natural gas BTU:  1,028 Btu per cubic foot Oil BTU: 138,590 Btu per gallon   Natural Gas BTU= 80698000 Btu Oil BTU                = 71512440 Btu   The home that used a natural gas furnace used more energy for heating. 2. You need a new furnace for your home, and you are comparing systems that use natural gas and heating oil. One factor to consider is the cost of fuel. You can compare the price of the fuels on an equal basis by dividing the price per unit of the fuels by the Btu content per unit of the fuels to get a price per million Btu. Assume Natural gas price = $10.50 per thousand cubic…

Part 1: Do the Analysis of the Ocean Thermal Gradient Power Plant shown below. Your Analysis will be easier to do in EES but it is up to you. Your EES program must be well documented and documentation in your code should reference system sketches. (The cycle and individual components) These sketches are done on attached engineering or typing paper, unless you are able to draw them in EES. You must validate your results with hand calculations on engineering paper that invoke the 1 and 2 Law from the perspective of the entire cycle, not the individual components. Of course, a system sketch is required. nd 1. An ocean thermal gradient power plant using a simple non-ideal Rankine Cycle operates with a peak boiler temperature of 70 °F and a condenser temperature of 40 °F. The warm surface water of the ocean is supplying the thermal energy to the boiler. Assume a high source temperature of 80 °F. The cooler water deeper in the ocean is the sink for heat rejection at the condenser. Assume a…

bliuzodt to mopolb 9. If machine parts are degreased by means of kerosene as shown in the diagram, how much kerosene make-up is needed per day? How much kerosene has to enter the degreasing vat per day? There are about 3 lb of grease per 100 lb of machine parts, and 60 tons of machine parts are processed each day. Five thousand pounds of kerosene (the 10% solution) are carried away by the machine parts each day but drip off and are caught and put back in the degreasing vat. Two hundred pounds of the 10% solution are lost each day from the vat by evaporation, spillage, or by being carried away.
