For the D-T fusion reaction, find the rate at which deuterium & tritium are consumed to produce 1 MW . The Q-value of D-T reaction is 17.6 MeV & assume all the energy from the fusion reaction is available.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
Each deuterium nucleus produces 17.6 MeV .
1 kg of deuterium 
no. of deuterium 
energy produced.
To produce 1 MW , amount of deuterium in kg required per second.
similarly for tritium.
