How does a nuclear power plant produce electricity? Quickly moving neutrons coming out of the reaction create a gas which turns a turbine that produces electricity.

Quickly moving neutrons coming out of the reaction are slowed down by water. The water heats up and turns into steam. The steam turns the turbine and produces electricity.

Quickly moving neutrons coming out of nuclear reactions are used to turn turbines that produce electricity.

Quickly moving neutrons give their kinetic energy to the surrounding water. The water's energy is then used to turn turbines and produce electricity.

I) a gas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes two processes, a and b, between the same end states, 1 and 2, where p1 = 10 bar, v1 = 0.1 m3 , u1 = 400 kj and p2 = 1 bar, v2 = 1.0 m3 , u2 = 200 kj: ' process a: process from 1 to 2 during which the pressure-volume relation is pv = constant. ' process b: constant-volume process from state 1 to a pressure of 2 bar, followed by a linear pressure-volume process to state 2. kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. for each of the processes a and b, a) sketch the process on a p-v diagram. b) evaluate the work, in kj. c) evaluate the heat transfer, in kj.(ans : qb,12 = -65.0 kj)
