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

Click For Summary
The final products exiting a reactor can vary based on the type of reactor in question. In nuclear reactors, the primary product is energy, typically in the form of electricity, while byproducts include heat and radioactive waste. For chemical reactors, the term "product stream" or "exit stream" is used to describe the final output, distinguishing it from the "feed," which refers to the input materials. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the terminology related to reactor outputs. Accurate terminology is crucial for clarity in discussions about reactor processes.

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."

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
