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

SUMMARY

The final product exiting from a reactor is referred to as the "product stream" or "exit stream." In the context of chemical reactors, this term distinguishes the output from the input, known as the feed. For nuclear reactors, the primary output is energy, typically in the form of electricity, while undesirable byproducts include heat and radioactive waste. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for discussions surrounding reactor outputs.

PREREQUISITES
  • Knowledge of chemical reactor processes
  • Understanding of nuclear reactor operations
  • Familiarity with energy production methods
  • Basic concepts of byproducts in chemical engineering
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the differences between chemical and nuclear reactor outputs
  • Explore the concept of product streams in chemical engineering
  • Learn about energy conversion in nuclear reactors
  • Investigate methods for managing radioactive waste
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in chemical engineering, nuclear engineering, and energy production sectors will benefit from this discussion, particularly those interested in reactor outputs and byproduct management.

What do you call the final product or products that exit from a reactor
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
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."
