Concept explainers
To find: Energy obtain from natural deuterium of water used in fusion reaction, and to compare the energy with the gasoline.
Answer to Problem 34P
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
(In equation 31-8a,) Energy released for every 2 deuterium atoms is
Energy released from 1.0 kg gasoline,
Calculation:
Number of natural deuterium nuclei in 1.00 kg of water.
Energy obtain from natural deuterium of water used in fusion reaction
As compared to gasoline,
Fusion reaction energy is 50 times more than energy
So fusion reaction energy is 50 times more than gasoline.
Conclusion:
Energy obtain from natural deuterium of water used in fusion reaction is
