What do you call the final product that exit from a reactor

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying the final product or products that exit from a reactor, with a focus on both chemical and nuclear reactors. Participants explore terminology and the nature of these products.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant states that the good product is energy, typically in the form of electricity, while the bad products include heat and radioactive waste.
  • Another participant questions whether the discussion pertains to a chemical reactor or a nuclear reactor.
  • A participant suggests that in a chemical context, the term "feed" might be used, but later clarifies that the correct term for the output is the "product stream" or "exit stream."

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on the terminology, as participants express differing views on what constitutes the final product and the context of the reactor type.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not fully clarified the definitions of terms used, and there may be assumptions about the type of reactor being discussed that remain unresolved.

The good product is energy, generally in the form of electricity. The bad products are heat and radioactive waste. Did you do any research on you own before asking this question?

Are you talking about a chemical reactor, or a nuclear reactor?
 
chemical I assume it would be the feed right

No. The feed is the stream that enters the reactor. The product is called the "product stream" or the "exit stream."
