- (b) Heat is generated by the core of a nuclear reactor, this heat is removed by pumping cooling water through the core at a rate of 45 x 106 kg/h to generate steam. Cooling water, initially at 30 °C is continuously pumped through the reactor so that the outlet temperature is 748 °C and the core temperature remains constant. Calculate the rate of heat generated by the core of a nuclear reactor (in joules per second). (The specific heat capacity of ice 2100 Jkg 'K1; water = 4190 Jkg K; steam 2010 Jkg K. The latent heat of fusion of water is 334 kJ kg: latent heat of vaporisation of water 2264 kJ kg)arrow_forwardOxy-acetylene torches can be used to cut or weld metal. Oxygen and acetylene are fed from separate compressed gas cylinders through pressure regulators to the torch where they are mixed and combusted. To estimate the amount of metal that can be cut or welded per unit volume of gas, the composition of the gases produced by combustion and heat produced by the combustion reaction must be determined. For this problem: a. Define a closed system that can be used to calculate the heat produced b. Define an open system that can be used to calculate the heat produced c. List at least two intensive variables that are important in calculation d. List at least two extensive variables that are important in the calculationarrow_forward3. Two moles of an equimolar mixture of CO and H₂O (i.e., one mole of carbon monoxide and one mole of water vapor) is placed in an experimental reactor in which the water- gas shift reaction: CO(g) + H₂O(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂(g) occurs at 2 Atm and at a temperature at which 4G rxn= -0.6932RT.

- A vehicle airbag system works by using a series of chemical reactions. When sensors in the system detect a collision, a heat source instantly causes the decomposition of sodium azide at 300oC. This first reaction produces sodium metal and nitrogen gas. The formation of the nitrogen gas inflates the airbag, but unfortunately, the other product, sodium metal, is extremely dangerous and highly reactive. The sodium metal must undergo an immediate secondary reaction to transform into a safer substance. That’s where potassium nitrate gets involved. In the secondary reaction, sodium metal reacts with the potassium nitrate to form potassium oxide, sodium oxide, and additional nitrogen gas. This secondary generation of nitrogen gas also fills the airbag. Excess gas from the secondary reaction gets vented from e airbag. Finally, in the third and fourth reactions, the sodium oxide and potassium oxide react with silicon dioxide separately to product harmless and stable silicate glasses sodium…arrow_forwardThe amount of oil and grease from the rivers beside mining sites are quantified by solvent-solvent extraction.

- TVA’s Kingston Fossil Plant near Cedarville, Tennessee, burns about 14,000 tons of coal a day. A typical rail car is 53 ft long from coupling to coupling, weighs 30 tons empty and can carry 100 tons of coal. How many minutes would you have to wait at a crossing for this train to pass, each day, if it was pulled by four locomotives, each 70 ft long and moving at 10 miles per hour through town? Such delays cause decreased ability to provide effective emergency response times and interference with commuters and local freight delivery affecting the local economy.arrow_forwardThis was a lab I performed where we mix aqueous 25ml HCl and 25ml NaOH and use a program called microlab to determine the cooling rate after the initial heating. We used a coffee cup calorimeter that had a stirring bar. At first, NaOH solution is by itself in the coffee cup calorimeter. It’s temperature was 23.02 C. I waited for 70 seconds and then added the 25ml of HCl to it. The temperature rose to 29.59 C, then began to cool down immediately. The cooling rate was y=0.0089x+26.1273 according to the program. The final weight of the solution was 47.147g. The moles of NaOH was 0.919M and HCl was 1.033M. The questions: calculate the theoretical value for change in delta Hrxn.arrow_forwardIn the leachate pond, carbon, sulphur and nitrogen mostly exist as reducing compounds due to the pond's anaerobic conditions. The reduced species are responsible for the odours at the leachate pond and the stream. The concentrations of these reduced species can be lowered by exposing the water of the pond to a steady stream of oxygen similar to the system adopted in fish tanks. For example, ammonium found in the reduced water can be converted to nitrates and acid in the presence of oxygen according to the equation below: NH4+ (aq) + 2O2 (aq) + H2O (l) = NO3– (aq) + 2H3O+ (aq) + heat (a) Write the equilibrium expression of the equation above.
