In a nuclear power generating plant, heat from a reactor is used to generate steam for turbines. The rate of the fission reaction determines the amount of heat generated, and this rate is controlled by rods inserted into the radioactive core. The rods regulate the flow of neutrons. If the rods are lowered into the core, the rate of fission will diminish; if the rods are raised, the fission rate will increase. By automatically controlling the position of the rods, the amount of heat generated by the reactor can be regulated. Draw a functional block diagram for the nuclear reactor control system shown in Fig. Show all blocks and signals.

A large piece of biological tissue has to be kept at a temperature as low as possible without freezing (ice formation). The water in the tissue has several solutes dissolved in it and the effective molecular weight of the dissolved solutes is 50. The weight of all dissolved solutes combined is 10% of the weight of water. The latent heat of fusion of water is 335 kJ/kg and the molecular weight of water is 18. What is the lowest temperature that this tissue can be stored at, without ice formation?
When a hydrocarbon fuel is burned, almost all of the carbon in the fuel burns completely to form CO2 (carbon dioxide). On average, 0.59 kg of CO2 is produced for each kWh of electricity generated from a power plant that burns natural gas. A typical new household refrigerator uses about 700 kWh of electricity per year. The city's refrigerators produce. 20,650 mton CO2/year. If the area of the city is 190 miles2, and if all that CO2 accumulates in the atmosphere, calculate the increase in CO2 concentration by weight in the atmosphere knowing that each cm2 of area carries a column of air that weighs 1 kg. If 1 mature tree absorbs 48 lbm of CO2 per year, what is the ratio of trees to households this city should have to counter the effect of refrigeration?
