>>13409417>fission power is just an advanced and longer-lasted fuel burning?depend on how you define burning
The classical definition of burning is an oxidation chemical reaction. With this definition nuclear fission (not an oxidation nor a chemical reacton) is not "burning".
Others define burning any "reaction" witch, given materials ("fuels"), gives out heat (or some other form of energy), with this definition fission is "burining", but IMHO is wrong.
>With nuclear fission they are just converting heat to eletricity?nearly all power plant (thermal power stations), function like that.
>take hot material (burning coal/gas/oil or nuclear shit)>use water to absorb heat>water boil>create pressure>pressure used to drive a fuckhuge mechanical contraption >mechanical contraption convert rotation to magic particle running into conductors (electricity)basically every thermal power station use the same tech as a steam train
This is a semplification, for example, in a combined cycle, you use the fuel to drive a gas turbine (like the one on planes) and than use the "excess heat" to generate steam.
