    How Does Increased Diffusivity Affect Adsorption Rates?

    Heres a short question, How does diffusion affects the rate of adsorption?. If the diffusivity of a fluid increases, will the rate of adsorption increase or decrease? Thanks in advance Cheers

    The forces in an atomic nucleus

    In an atomic nucleus, there is protons, and neutrons. The protons are positively charged and the repel each other. However, there is an "opposing" that helps to keep the nucleus in a piece instead of breaking apart. Does anyone know what kind of force is this? And what causes this force to be...

    Slow Neutron Fission in Uranium 235: Exploring the Why

    Hmm...How about the reason for slow neutrons not being able to be absorb by uranium 238?

    Slow Neutron Fission in Uranium 235: Exploring the Why

    Here's a question. Why does slow neutron is most likely to cause a nuclear fission in Uranium 235, compare to a fast neutron?

    Where does the energy from Nuclear Fission comes from?

    OHH...so i have to look all the way down to many decimal places inorder to see the difference in mass...ok..thanks alot...=D

    Where does the energy from Nuclear Fission comes from?

    Looking at the fission of Uranium 235, the typical end product will be Barium 141 and Krypton 92, and 3 neutrons. From this, we can calculate the energy that the fission gives off, by taking the difference in mass of the product and "reactant", and use the equation of E=mc2. But what i see...

    How the energy generated by nuclear fussion is extracted?

    Diverting from the question... Here's what i have found. The heat generated by the nuclear fusion is being transferred by a water-cooling loop to a heat exchanger to make steam. The steam then drives the Turbine to generate electricity. From what I understand, the heat is sort of use to heat...

    How the energy generated by nuclear fussion is extracted?

    Anyone knows how? Thanks in advance Correction to the question..Not extracted, but "capture" I can't think of any word to describe the process. Sorry for my poor English speaking skills

    Changing Oxygen Atoms: Is It Possible to Alter Element Composition?

    As stated in the title. Is it possible? Say for example, if I have an Oxygen Atom. Is there anyway I can add in another proton to this Oxygen atom such that i can change it to some other element?
