Does cobalt come from the earths core?
No. Material cannot travel from the core to the crust.
What is a core membrane?
A core membrane is a protective layer surrounding the genetic material of a virus. This membrane helps shield the virus's genetic material from external factors and aids in its ability to infect host cells.
What is field core?
Field core refers to the central part of a magnetic field within a magnetic material. It is where the magnetic properties of the material are most concentrated and influential. Understanding the field core is essential for studying magnetic materials and their behavior.
Is balsa core a good core material?
Yes, balsa core is a popular choice for core material in boat and aircraft construction due to its lightweight nature, high strength-to-weight ratio, and excellent impact resistance. It is also known for its good sound and thermal insulation properties, making it a versatile and effective core material.
Which layer is melted material?
The melted material is typically found in the outer layer of the Earth's interior known as the mantle. This layer lies between the crust and the core, and its high temperature and pressure conditions can cause rocks to partially melt, creating magma.
What was the nuclear core of the atomic bomb?
fissile material: highly enriched uranium or plutonium
An electromagnetic-induction device usually has what material in its core?
Iron
What continues the reaction of a boosted fission fusion bomb?
A boosted fission device uses a hollow sealed fissile core. The hollow part contains a measured amount of tritium gas. When the fission device is detonated the heat and pressure ignites tritium fusion in the gas. This fusion emits a flood of high energy neutrons, which causes additional fissions in the (now vapor) fissile material, boosting the yield. Such devices can be implemented with a "Dial-a-Yield" feature by allowing different amounts of tritium gas to be injected into the hollow core (more tritium, more neutrons, more yield).
What is elelctromagnets?
Electromagnet is a device consisting of a core of magnetic material such as iron, surrounded by a coil through which an electric current is passed to magnetize the core.
Can more than a critical mass of fissile material be put in the core of an implosion fission atomic bomb without it becoming prematurely critical causing a fizzle?
Yes, this is exactly what was done in the Ivy King test device which produced a yield of 500 kilotons and then entered the stockpile as the MK-18. It used a uranium core containing roughly four critical masses. To keep this much material in a subcritical configuration the core was a hollow thin walled sphere instead of the usual solid sphere. For safety purposes the hollow inside the core was filled with a chain made of an aluminum-boron alloy that was removed automatically by a motor as the last step in the arming sequence (the chain could not be reinserted).
Why were breeder reactors developed?
Breeder reactors were developed to allow use of non-fissile or fertile fuel, such as uranium-238 and thorium-232, instead of fissile fuel, such as uranium-235 and plutonium-239. They do have fissile fuel in them, but they use its neutron flux to convert the non-fissile (fertile) fuel into fissile form, extending the lifespan of the core.
What is the difference between core type and shell type transformers?
The difference is between how the windings relate to magnetic material around which they are wound. If this magnetic material surrounds the windings then the device is said to be a shell type transformer. If the windings cover the exterior of the magnetic material then the transformer is said to be of the core type. Please see the link.
What is the use of plutonium in a nuclear bomb?
Plutonium is used as the fissile material in the core of a nuclear bomb. When a critical mass of plutonium is rapidly brought together, a chain reaction occurs, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of a nuclear explosion.
How are uranium and plutonium bombs alike?
Conventional explosives are used to rapidly assemble a subcritical configuration of fissile material into a very supercritical configuration.A pulsed neutron source initiates the chain reaction.Enough heat is emitted to completely vaporize all materials of the bomb.The inertia of the vaporized depleted uranium tamper holds the expanding vaporized supercritical fissile core together for a little while to improve efficiency and yield.About 1 microsecond after initiation of the chain reaction, the fissile core has become subcritical again stopping the chain reaction.A large release of heat, light, blast, radiation, etc. races away from the burst.Details of construction and materials affect all steps above.
What are the colors of the inner core?
If one could construct a boring device with a camera that could survive the heat and pressure of the journey to the inner core, the only color one would see would be a blinding whitish light from the superheated material.
Why nuclear criticality accidents weren't explosive like an a-bomb?
The fissile material involved in all of the recorded incidents did not have sufficient density to detonate. In most cases, the heat generated by the reaction caused the material to expand enough that the reaction became subcritical again. Fission bombs use conventional explosives to quickly compress the plutonium core to a very high density so that the entire mass becomes prompt-critical before the core can expand.
What are the composition of the core?
The core is made up of Iron and Nickel.
