(a) Assume that in each fission of 235U, 200 MeV is released. Assuming that 5% of the energy is wasted in neutrinos, calculate the amount of 235 U burned which would be necessary to supply at 30% efficiency, the whole annual electricity consumption in Britain 50 × 10⁹ kWh

In the derivation of the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, it is assumed that the heat of fusion is not a function of temperature.   True False

Methane gas (CH4) enters the combustion chamber of a gas turbine at 77°F, 40 lbfi/in² and a molar flow rate of 1.7 lbmol/h and burns completely with air entering at 300°F, 40 lb/in². The combustion products leave the combustion chamber at T3 = 1380°F, 40 lbf/in². The gas turbine operates adiabatically at steady state and air can be modeled as 21% O2 and 79% N₂ on a molar basis. Step 1 CH4 at 77°F, 40 lbf/in² n = 1.7 1bmolh X Your answer is incorrect. n = Air P2 = 40 lbf/in² T₂ = 300°F 90.49 Determine the percent of theoretical air required. 1 % 2 3 P3=40 lbf/in? T3

Is creating energy and electricity through nuclear power plants, a sustainable energy source, in order to augment reliance on fossil fuels an ethical idea when compared to other technologies, such as solar, wind, and natural gas? If so, on what basis? If not, why, and is there anything that could bolster its ethical production?
