Across
  1. 2. neutrons- a free neutron with a kinetic energy of about 0.025 eV (about 4.0×10−21 J or 2.4 MJ/kg, hence a speed of 2.19 km/s)
  2. 5. power station- also called combustion power plants, they operate with energy produced by a steam boiler fueled by coal, natural gas, heating oil, as well as by biomass.
  3. 9. energy - advantages and disadvantages- An energy source that is both renewable and inexhaustible by definition. High upfront cost.
  4. 10. energy- energy per unit mass.
  5. 11. rods- used to control the power of a nuclear reactor
  6. 12. not able to be renewed.
  7. 14. energy - advantages and disadvantages- While nuclear energy may be clean and its production emission-free, experts highlight a hidden danger of this power: nuclear waste.
  8. 17. The minimum amount of electric power delivered or required over a given period of time at a steady rate.
  9. 20. - advantages and disadvantages- It is clean and sustainable., the impact it can have on the environment.
  10. 22. vibrations- can behave like particles or waves
  11. 23. diagram- a visualization used to depict a flow from one set of values to another.
  12. 24. an arbitrator or mediator.
Down
  1. 1. storage system- a configuration of two water reservoirs at different elevations that can generate power as water moves down from one to the other (discharge), passing through a turbine
  2. 2. conduction- the diffusion of thermal energy (heat) within one material or between materials in contact.
  3. 3. heating panel- Active solar heating systems use solar energy to heat a fluid -- either liquid or air -- and then transfer the solar heat directly to the interior space or to a storage system for later use.
  4. 4. cells- a nonmechanical device that converts sunlight directly into electricity.
  5. 6. capable of being renewed.
  6. 7. fuels- made from decomposing plants and animals.
  7. 8. source (energy)- produced by converting primary sources of energy such as coal, natural gas, nuclear energy, solar energy, and wind energy
  8. 13. exchanger- a device which transfers heat from one medium to another,
  9. 15. density- the amount of energy stored in a given system or region of space per unit volume.
  10. 16. source (energy)- fossil fuels (petroleum, natural gas, and coal), nuclear energy, and renewable sources of energy.
  11. 18. energy- thermal energy that is released into the surrounding environment after any process.
  12. 19. energy - advantages and disadvantages-wind is a clean, renewable energy source and is one of the most cost-effective sources of electricity.
  13. 21. having had the proportion of the isotope U-235 it contains increased in order to make it suitable for use in a nuclear reactor or weapon.
