  2. Burnup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnup

    In nuclear power technology, burnup is a measure of how much energy is extracted from a given amount of nuclear fuel [1].It may be measured as the fraction of fuel atoms that underwent fission in %FIMA (fissions per initial heavy metal atom) [2] or %FIFA (fissions per initial fissile atom) [3] as well as the actual energy released per mass of initial fuel in gigawatt-days/metric ton of heavy ...

    They report that 3 to 8% of the krypton-85 was released, and that much less of the ruthenium (0.5%) and caesium (2.6 x 10 −3 %) occurred during the oxidation of the uranium dioxide. [ 5 ] Heat transfer between the cladding and the water

  5. Activation energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activation_energy

    [11] [12] However, some authors omit the o in order to simplify the notation. [13] [14] The total free energy change of a reaction is independent of the activation energy however. Physical and chemical reactions can be either exergonic or endergonic, but the activation energy is not related to the spontaneity of a reaction. The overall reaction ...

  6. Energy charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_charge

    We now know that most if not all anabolic and catabolic pathways are indeed controlled, directly and indirectly, by the energy charge. [5] [6] [7] In addition to direct regulation of several enzymes by adenyl nucleotides, an AMP-activated protein kinase known as AMP-K phosphorylates and thereby regulates key enzymes when the energy charge ...

    The British imperial units and U.S. customary units for both energy and work include the foot-pound force (1.3558 J), the British thermal unit (BTU) which has various values in the region of 1055 J, the horsepower-hour (2.6845 MJ), and the gasoline gallon equivalent (about 120 MJ). Log-base-10 of the ratios between various measures of energy
