It 100% is steam power. It just using a more expensive and more efficient fuel source. This is how it was explained in the submarine service when describing how it provides power and propulsion, “Hot rock make steam, steam make go.”
@@spaceguy564boggles my mind how hydro power is still the most inefficient and least used power source. Between the sun wind and ocean waves we should have energy coming out our asses
@@CimbomFanFictionIt’s all about efficiency. They all have major downsides that make them impractical. Nuclear was always our best option. Conspiracy or not but the big fish want us to use fossil fuel.
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 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
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.
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
Movies are mostly at fault for this. And poorly designed reactors, making people think they are dangerous. They are the safest form of energy production, it's really just a big steam engine
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.
Some powerplants use the waste heat to heat buildings through district heating, that's mostly used for cities in colder areas. In some deserts it is used to desalinate water.
@@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.
@@mateusz5318 No need for a heat pump, just tap of the steam at a higher pressure. It does cause a reduction in the turbines efficiency, but it yields much more heat than a heat pump could provide with the power that you lose.
@@placeholdername0000 well thats what I typed its called back pressure turbine...waste heat you see in video thrown to environment threw a colling tower has nothing to do with it there is no use for it.
One could imagine the heated water being used to heat homes and provide them hot water, at least for moderately to densely populated regions. But the infrastructure would need to be put in place.
@@sylviaisgod6947 do you know how I can implement my idea? I’ve actually worked and have some drawings on how to make some Oil refinery, more efficient I haven’t drawn any plans for the cooling tower just because we’re not really building those type of cooling towers anymore and neither is the world i think.

Always wondered how the cloud machine worked!
Its 2 am and it's perfect time to learn how cooling towers work!

Yup. Its completely clean.

Funny how nuclear energy is just a fancy version of steam power lol, i feel cheated!
It 100% is steam power. It just using a more expensive and more efficient fuel source. This is how it was explained in the submarine service when describing how it provides power and propulsion, “Hot rock make steam, steam make go.”
the majority of power generation is just variations on boiling water to make steam to spin a turbine.
@@rpungello i think hydro power is the only one to spin turbines with cold water

started youtube with watching wildnout . now im here 4 hrs later . i need to sleep now it's 3am
Thanks you saved my grades
As usual the comment section didn't disappoint. 😂
Oh, you were serious. That's even funnier. 😂😂
Ah so it is an evaporative cooler
My submarine didn’t have a cooling tower. If you’re already using the river, why not skip the cooling tower?
Efficiency probably
If it is not a big enough body of water you do not want to discharge hot water into it because it is not good for the environment and aquatic life
Not enough demand for free boiled fish meals down the river I guess. 🥸
I be doing literally ANYTHING except studying for the exam tomorrow 😭😭
What about CO2s ? . Or the Legioner's decease ?
Thank you
I’ve ever understood why they dont put the hot water back through the system rather than heating from cold again

Why don't they put the hot water from the condenser back into the river?

I used to think they were chimneys
People are so dramatic about these
People are mostly idiots, so... 😛

At work bored, may as well learn!
What is that cooling tower doing
Cooling
the video tells you brother lol

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.
You're not very bright
why not just just put more turbines in the tower to capture the rising energy🤔
edit: the energy from mass amouts of steam rising
It will impede with the working of the system
So radioactive cannot go through pipe? Interesting.
Edit : maybe they use lead pipe
The water that is heated is sealed in pipes, which this water cools
The water in these pipes are completely separated from the water in the reactors. It dosent have a chance to be irrational
2024 here?
can't the hot water be used in some better more efficient way ???
I mean probably, but it'll just rain back down into the same body of water again so it doesn't really matter.

I love nuclear power
hell yeah
Seems like it is a waste of energy. Why not harvest the heat?

Came here after watching gio_masters jump into one 💀
Haha same

They pump moisture into the atmosphere one component of weather manufacturing
Just boiling the planet

When I was 5 I called the cloud makers 💀💀💀
is that water radioactive??'
no
The cloud is steam from the cooling water from the nearby river. Its only use was for indirectly cooling down the engines.
Not at all
No .. the radio active water in the turbines doesn't get mixed with cooling water.
it's a second circuit of water, so no.
Instructions unclear, illegally hooked my RTX 4090 into the local nuclear power plants cooling tower and overheated it...
Ooh 😲

Turbine…not turban. V different things! Need to pronounce it correctly
Its not indian, it doesnt have a turban
steam turban! only in Indian plants.
Seems very inefficient.
How so? Evaporative cooling is dirt cheap, you just need to power the pumps
wait untill you find out hundreds of meters deep coal mining sites just for half of this things power
If you can find a way to make it even 1 percent more efficient, you'll be a millionaire.... Now get to work!
