The energy released in the fission of one 235U92 is 206.6 MeV. A Nuclear reactor that uses this element has an output of 28.7 Mega Watts. What is the mass of 235U92 that is consumed in one day in this reactor

the required mass is 1.7628 × 10²⁵ μ

Explanation:

Given that;

energy released in the fission of one ²³⁵U₉₂ is 206.6 MeV

power p = 28.7 Mega Watts = 28.7 × 10⁶ W = 28.7 × 10⁶/ 1.6× 10⁻¹³ = 17.9375 × 10¹⁹ MeV/s

now fission need per second will be;

⇒ power / energy released i  fission

= 17.9375 × 10¹⁹ MeV /  206.6 MeV = 8.68 × 10¹⁷ per second

now fission need per day will be;

⇒ ( 8.68 × 10¹⁷ × 360 × 24 ) = 7.5 × 10²² per day

hence mass of ²³⁵U₉₂ that is consumed in one day in this reactor will be;

⇒ (235 × 7.5 × 10²²)μ

= 1.7628 × 10²⁵ μ

Therefore the required mass is 1.7628 × 10²⁵ μ

adding a(n) to an electric circuit would increase the magnetic field around a wire;

b. solenoid

a solenoid is a type of electromagnet whose purpose is to generate a controlled magnetic field.

if the purpose of the solenoid is instead to impede changes in the electric current, a solenoid can be more specifically classified as an inductor rather than an electromagnet.
