    the evaporation process absorbs a large amount of heat energy to turn the super hot water into hot water vapor. this means that the hot water vapor will not be 100C, because 100C of water has less energy than 100C of hot vapor of the same amount. basically in the process of hot water vaporizing, it converted some heat energy to phase change into gas form, essentially making the discharge less harmful to any passerby (unless you're inside the cooling tower)

    The housing itself could be re-fitted to generate enough energy without the uranium because of the resonance and size of the cavity as well as tall enough and heavy enough on ita own to provide energy. There's no turbine in the cooling tower, which proves that the engineers are just wasting their time and half-assed to emplore you to believe there isn't enough to go around.

    • @ayeklutch
      @ayeklutch 6 месяцев назад

      The water that is cooled by the tower doesn't actually go into the reactor. It is pumped to a tank to surround a convoluted pipe that has hot steam in it so the steam inside the pipe system can condense to liquid water which is actually trapped inside the reactor and doesn't evaporate or anything. They basically use water to cool more water inside pipes

    • @placeholdername0000
      @placeholdername0000 2 месяца назад

      Because after the steam has gone through the turbine it is at a low pressure. It must therefore be cooled to condense. But in order to make high temperature steam you need a much higher temperature. So there is heat, but it is at a too low temperature.

      ​@@placeholdername0000You are wrong this is waste heat you would need to put energy in to use it in power plant its becouse heat cant flow from lower temperature tank to higher temperature unless you will use a heat pump. For district heating they use back pressure turbines which has higher pressure steam at outlet thus suitable for other applications or just drop more steam from condensing turbine.

      If it’s not a big enough body of water you do not want to discharge hot water back into it because it will harm the environment and aquatic life edit power plants that are built around the oceans and the Great Lakes discharge back into the source because it will not have a inverse effect on the body of water
