Even when shut down after a period of normal use,a large commercial nuclear reactor transfers thermal energyat the rate of 150 MW by the radioactive decay of fissionproducts. This heat transfer causes a rapid increase intemperature if the cooling system fails 1 watt = 1 joule/second or 1 W = 1 J/s and 1MW = 1 megawatt . (a) Calculate the rate oftemperature increase in degrees Celsius per second (°C/s)if the mass of the reactor core is 1.60 × 105kg and ithas an average specific heat of 0.3349 kJ/kg · °C . (b) Howlong would it take to obtain a temperature increase of2000 °C , which could cause some metals holding theradioactive materials to melt? (The initial rate oftemperature increase would be greater than that calculatedhere because the heat transfer is concentrated in a smallermass. Later, however, the temperature increase would slowdown because the 500,000-kg steel containment vesselwould also begin to heat up.)
An ice cube with a mass of 45.8 g at 0.0 ∘C is added to a glass containing 4.50×102 g of water at 45.0 ∘C . Determine the final temperature of the system at equilibrium. The specific heat capacity of water, ?s, is 4.184 J/g⋅∘C, and the standard enthalpy of fusion, Δ?∘fus, of water is 6.01×103 J/mol. Assume that no energy is transferred to or from the surroundings.
As radioactive plutonium isotopes decay, they generate heat as a byproduct. Pu-239 generates 1.9W/kg of heat. How much heat will 1.25molof Pu-239 release after decaying for three hours? Express this quantity in units of calories. Assume Pu-239 has a molecular weight of 244g/mol.
