What do you call the final product that exit from a reactor

Shah, a chemical engineer, explains that the final products that exit from a chemical reactor are referred to as the "product stream" or "exit stream." These products typically include energy, such as electricity, as well as heat and radioactive waste. It is important to clarify whether the reactor in question is a chemical reactor or a nuclear reactor.

The good product is energy, generally in the form of electricity. The bad products are heat and radioactive waste. Did you do any research on you own before asking this question?

Are you talking about a chemical reactor, or a nuclear reactor?

chemical I assume it would be the feed right

No. The feed is the stream that enters the reactor. The product is called the "product stream" or the "exit stream."

Related to What do you call the final product that exit from a reactor

1. What is the final product that exits from a reactor?

The final product that exits from a reactor is known as the effluent or effluent stream. This is the material that has been processed and separated within the reactor and is released as the output.

2. Is the final product always the same for every reactor?

No, the final product that exits from a reactor can vary depending on the type of reactor and the specific process taking place. Different reactors are designed to produce different outputs, such as chemical compounds, fuels, or energy.

3. Can the final product be used as-is or does it require further processing?

In most cases, the final product that exits from a reactor requires further processing before it can be used. This can include purification, separation, or refinement to meet specific standards or specifications.

4. How is the final product collected and stored?

The final product is typically collected and stored in tanks, containers, or pipelines after exiting the reactor. It may also undergo further treatment or processing before being transported for use or sale.

5. What happens to the waste products from the reactor?

Waste products from a reactor are typically collected and treated separately from the final product. Depending on the type of reactor and the process involved, the waste may be recycled, disposed of, or treated to reduce its impact on the environment.
