1. Determine the energy released per kilogram of fuel used.
Given MeV per reaction, calculate energy in joules per kilogram of reactants.
Consider 1 mole of tritium plus 1 mole of deuterium to be a mole of “reactions” (total molar mass = 5 grams).

2. Determine the mass of fuel required for the expected energy consumption in the United States for the next 10 years.
Energy use per person per year in the United States = 3.5 × 1011 joules.
Base your calculations on a current population of 310,000,000.

Respuesta :

1MeV = 1.6 x 10-13 J and  3.5 x 1011 joules of energy is energy in joules per kilogram of reactants.


The amount of fuel needed to meet US expectations for energy consumption over the next ten years.
In the US, each person uses 3.5 x 1011 joules of energy annually. 310,000,000 people make up the present population, thus use 1MeV = 1.6 x 10-13 J in your calculations.
In the US, annual energy consumption per person is equal to 3.5 x 1011Joules (estimated, varies by source, August 2009)
USA population: 310,000,000, roughly.
One mega electron volt, or one million electron volts, is designated as MeV. A particle with one electron charge will gain one MeV of energy when it passes through a potential difference of one million volts in a vacuum.
