Radioactive waste is the material that nuclear fuel becomes after it’s used‚ thus‚ creating radioactive waste. Most is Uranium‚ containing around 90%. Meaning it is still usable fuel. Used nuclear fuel is extremely hot and radioactive. It is usually handled by storing it under water with a dense material such as concrete or steel. The waste ranges from low to high-level‚ High-level wastes are cooled and shielded while the low-level waste is handled easily with minimum protection. It is unsure on

Multicomponent distillation 1) Mass balances The feed flowrate is 350 kmols hr-1 and the feed composition is known: 48 mol% propene‚ 50 mol% propane and 2 mol% butane. The distillate stream composition: 99.9 mol% propene and 0.1 mol% propane. The bottom product stream contains 0.5 mol% propene but the mole fractions of propane and butane are unknown. Therefore‚ mass balances are carried out around the distillate column. Overall mass balance: F=D+B Component mass balance for propene: xFF=yDD+xBB
