Energy Transfers and Transformations In A Nuclear Reactor (1 Viewer)

[Von-Dyke]

-Explain the effects of energy transfers and transformations in Large Sacle Electricity Production through Nuclear Reactors


Help?? I need to draw a diagram that shows that^

I'll write my own reply then >.>

Pressurised Water Reactor

Nuclear Fission (Reactor) -->
Nuclear Energy --Transformed--> Thermal Energy [Coolant] (High Pressure Coolant Loop) --Transferred--> Thermal Energy [Water] (Low Pressure Coolant Loop/Steam Generator) --Transformed/Transferred--> Thermal Energy + Kinetic Energy [Steam] (Steam Generator) --Transferred--> Kinetic Energy (Turbine) --Transformed--> Electrical Energy (Generator) --Transferred--> To Power Grid/Transformer


Legend:
--Whats Happenning-->
(Where it is)
[Whats carrying the energy]
What Energy is it


n.b:/ Energy is continually lost in the system as heat is lost to the containment structure, defamation of the structure/turbine, sound energy, light etc etc.

This is only a rough guide, a summary of what happens. I made it for myself and it helps me, if you want to improve on it, go for it.
