If the number of uranium nuclei required per hour to produce a power of $64 \text{ kW}$ is $7.2 \times 10^{18}$, then the energy released per fission is

Which one of the following nuclear reactions is a source of energy in the sun?

$A$ nuclear fission process is given by $A^{240} \rightarrow B^{100} + C^{140} + Q$ (energy). If the binding energy per nucleon for nuclei $A, B,$ and $C$ are $7.6 \, MeV, 8.1 \, MeV,$ and $8.1 \, MeV$ respectively,then the energy $Q$ released is approximately $...... \, MeV$.

$A$ star has $10^{40}$ deuterons. It produces energy via the processes:
$_1H^2 + _1H^2 \to _1H^3 + p$
$_1H^2 + _1H^3 \to _2He^4 + n$
If the average power radiated by the star is $10^{16} \ W$, the deuteron supply of the star is exhausted in a time of the order of:
Given:
Mass of $_1H^2 = 2.014 \ amu$
Mass of $_2He^4 = 4.001 \ amu$
Mass of proton = $1.007 \ amu$
Mass of neutron = $1.008 \ amu$

The binding energy of deuteron is $2.2 \, MeV$ and that of $_2^4He$ is $28 \, MeV$. If two deuterons are fused to form one $_2^4He$,then the energy released is ......... $MeV$.
