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

AI Thread 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 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'

Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'

Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
