I have to put these in correct order, and I can't seem to find it in my book or a diagram.A. Steam produced by boiling water causes the blades of a turbine to rotate.B. A neutron bombards a uranium-235 isotopeC. Thermal energy released by the reaction is adder to the water.D. Electricity from the generator is carried to the community through wires.E. A uranium-235 atom splits, producing two atoms with smaller nuclei, three neutrons, and thermal energy.F. The mechanical energy of the rotating turbine blades is transferred to an electric generator.G. Superheated water passes through a heat exchanger, where the thermal energy released boils a separate system of water to produce steam.
B. A neutron bombards a uranium-235 isotope E. A uranium-235 atom splits, producing two atoms with smaller nuclei, three neutrons, and thermal energy. C. Thermal energy released by the reaction is adder to the water. G. Superheated water passes through a heat exchanger, where the thermal energy released boils a separate system of water to produce steam. [Note, this is only true for pressurized water reactors, not boiling water reactors] A. Steam produced by boiling water causes the blades of a turbine to rotate. F. The mechanical energy of the rotating turbine blades is transferred to an electric generator. D. Electricity from the generator is carried to the community through wires.
