Uranium-235: 200 MeV per fission |
||||
Uranium-233: 197 MeV per fission |
||||
Plutonium-239: 210 MeV per fission |
||||
|
||||
The amount of energy needed to reach 15,111 megatons is: |
||||
E = 15.111 × 10^6 × 4.184 × 10^12 Joules, where 4.184 × 10^12 Joules |
||||
is the conversion of 1 megaton to Joules. |
||||
|
||||
Now we can calculate the number of fissions needed to |
||||
each element, considering the efficiency of 0.147: |
||||
|
||||
For Uranium-235: |
||||
N_fissions_Uranium-235 = E / (Efficiency × Energy per fission) |
||||
N_fissions_Uranium-235 = 15.111 × 10^6 × 4.184 × 10^12 / (0.147 × 200) |
||||
N_fissions_Uranium-235 ≈ 5,351 × 10^17 fissions |
||||
|
||||
For Uranium-233: |
||||
N_fissions_Uranium-233 = E / (Efficiency × Energy per fission) |
||||
N_fissions_Uranium-233 = 15.111 × 10^6 × 4.184 × 10^12 / (0.147 × 197) |
||||
N_fissions_Uranium-233 ≈ 5,442 × 10^17 fissions |
||||
|
||||
For Plutonium-239: |
||||
N_fissions_Plutonium-239 = E / (Efficiency × Energy per fission) |
||||
N_fissions_Plutonium-239 = 15.111 × 10^6 × 4.184 × 10^12 / (0.147 × 210) |
||||
N_fissions_Plutonium-239 ≈ 5057 × 10^17 fissions |
||||
|
||||
Finally, we can calculate the amount of mass of each element needed, |
||||
considering the number of fissions and the molar mass of each element: |
||||
|
||||
For Uranium-235: |
||||
m_Uranium-235 = N_fissions_Uranium-235 × Molar mass of Uranium-235 / Avogadro's number |
||||
|
||||
The molar mass of Uranium-235 is approximately 235 g/mol. |
||||
|
||||
For Uranium-233: |
||||
m_Uranium-233 = N_fissions_Uranium-233 × Molar mass of Uranium-233 / Avogadro's number |
||||
|
||||
The molar mass of Uranium-233 is approximately 233 g/mol. |
||||
|
||||
For Plutonium-239: |
||||
m_Plutonium-239 = N_fissions_Plutonium-239 × Molar Mass of Plutonium-239 / Avogadro's Number |
||||
|
||||
The molar mass of Plutonium-239 is approximately 239 g/mol. |
||||
|
||||
Now we can calculate the masses: |
||||
|
||||
For Uranium-235: |
||||
m_Uranium-235 = 5.351 × 10^17 × 235 / 6.022 × 10^23 |
||||
m_Uranium-235 ≈ 21.04 kg |
||||
|
||||
For Uranium-233: |
||||
m_Uranium-233 = 5.442 × 10^17 × 233 / 6.022 × 10^23 |
||||
m_Uranium-233 ≈ 21.43 kg |
||||
|
||||
For Plutonium-239: |
||||
m_Plutonium-239 = 5.057 × 10^17 × 239 / 6.022 × 10^23 |
||||
m_Plutonium-239 ≈ 19.97 |
||||
|
||||
Now we can calculate the required masses of each element |
||||
to reach 15,111 megatons of energy: |
||||
|
||||
For Uranium-235: |
||||
m_Uranium-235 = 5.351 × 10^17 × 235 / 6.022 × 10^23 |
||||
m_Uranium-235 ≈ 21.04 kg |
||||
|
||||
For Uranium-233: |
||||
m_Uranium-233 = 5.442 × 10^17 × 233 / 6.022 × 10^23 |
||||
m_Uranium-233 ≈ 21.43 kg |
||||
|
||||
For Plutonium-239: |
||||
m_Plutonium-239 = 5.057 × 10^17 × 239 / 6.022 × 10^23 |
||||
m_Plutonium-239 ≈ 19.97 kg |
||||
|
||||
Therefore, to reach 15,111 megatons of energy, |
||||
It would take approximately: |
||||
|
||||
21.04 kg of Uranium-235 |
||||
21.43 kg of Uranium-233 |
||||
19.97 kg of Plutonium-239 |
