Theoretical Question- using nuclear fuel for cars?

The average density of gasoline is .75 KG/ L. Its lower heating value it about 44,000 KJ/KG. So for every Liter of gas burned you release 33000KJ of energy. The average car consumes about 5L of gasoline a day, therefore the averagy energy usage per day is 165,000KJ of energy. (165,000KJ/day) Now lets pretend that we [...]

Nuclear Power

Many people do not understand the truth about Nuclear Power. Theoretically Nuclear power makes the most sense, because there is more potential energy stored in enriched uranium than any other viable energy fuel, Nuclear energy is the best alternative energy source. Because So much power is generated per unit of uranium, using this as a [...]

Nuclear Technology

Nuclear energy is most likely going to be a major source of energy in the future. This is especially true if nuclear fusion is discovered. It is projected that we will be able to perform nuclear fusion within this century. This is great news for Chemical engineers, and would be a toatally awesome thing to [...]
