IC Engines and Nuclear Power Plants - Section 1 (4)

Ordinary water is sometimes used as moderator when enriched uranium is used as a fuel in nuclear power plants.

In petrol engine, using a fixed octane rating fuel and fixed compression ratio, supercharging will __________ the knocking tendency.

The primary fuel used in nuclear power plants is

Reactors for propulsion applications are designed for

Each fission of U₂₃₅ produces on the average __________ fast neutrons as a product of reaction.

The detonating tendency in petrol engines increases with increase of compression ratio.

In a diesel engine, the duration between the time of injection and ignition, is known as

Where reactor operation is designed with fast neutrons such as in reactors using highly enriched fuel, the moderator used is
