If a fast moving thermal neutron can be slowed down to increase absorption chances, is there a way it can be brought a halt?
If yes, what will be the behavior of such neutron?(Apart from a simple fact that reaction comes to a halt)
My understanding of Gravity
Gravity is a force which is acting on all celestial bodies and exerting pressure on them from all directions (Ex.1 Like water exerts pressure on a submarine when dives)
Stars when loose their fuel can't withstand this force and shrink and shrink where they can't...
Thank you very much sir,
I was confused when Devils answered me, but again thought he might have a point there. My brother's answer was the same though ruled out a meltdown because reactor officer will warn the captain about it but faster degradation of fuel is obvious.
Thank you again Sir.
Devils,
My brother is an officer on board a nuclear submarine and he says that actually is a possible thing! Can you explain me how is that not possible in a nuclear reactor's case?
Watched a scene from a Hollywood movie where the Captain of a Nuclear submarine asks his Reactor officer to give him a 110% of his reactor. That means a 100MW reactor must produce a 110MW.
How is that increased? Is that simply by pulling off control rods or is there any other way? Whats the...
Hello Physics Lovers,
I was working and suddenly got this question. What external forces have effects on electron spin, like slowing down/speeding up? Is that a possible thing in the first place?
Little too complex for me at this time as i studied about shells long back(11 years ago). Please suggest further reading that will help me to understand the very basics of particle behavior.
