It is capable of transporting [[liquids]] by [[rail]]. Fluids can be pumped in and out of the wagon using a [[pump]].<br /> Similar to [[cargo wagon]]s, a [[locomotive]] is required to move the liquid wagon.<br /> <br /> The fluid wagon consists of three tanks which by default are connected as a single unit to hold a total of 75,000 units of fluid. These tanks can be disconnected from each other to form three separate tanks holding 25k units of fluid each. This way, one fluid wagon can transport three separate fluids without mixing them together. One pump can attach to each of the three tanks.<br /> <br /> The fluid wagon weighs three times as much as a regular cargo wagon and will need more locomotives pulling it to move at a similar speed/acceleration to non-fluid trains.<br /> <br /> == Troubleshooting ==<br /> To get fluid into the fluid wagon, you need a [[Railway#Stations|train station]] with pumps.<br /> <br /> The wagon needs to be aligned with the rail grid; do this by using the [[Automated rail transportation (research)|automated rail transportation]] [[train stop]]s as [[Railway#Train_schedule|train schedule]] destination, and a fueled locomotive.<br /> <br /> Also make sure that the [[rail]]s under the Fluid wagon are '''straight rails''' and not '''curved rails'''. The pumps will only work if the wagon is perfectly orthogonal to the grid.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> {{History|0.15.0|Introduced}}<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Locomotive]]<br /> * [[Cargo wagon]]<br /> * [[Railway]]<br /> <br /> {{LogisticsNav}}<br /> {{C|Transport}}</div>

<p>Itsthejoker: Grammar and clarity changes</p> <hr /> <div>{{Languages}}<br /> {{:Infobox:Nuclear reactor}}<br /> <br /> The '''nuclear reactor''' generates heat by burning [[uranium fuel cell]]s. The heat can be used in a [[heat exchanger]] to produce steam which can be used to generate power. Unlike other forms of power generation, it is load-independent - each fuel cell will always be used completely in 200 seconds, regardless of load or the temperature of the reactor.<br /> <br /> Instead of completely consuming the fuel, burning fuel in a nuclear reactor results in [[used up uranium fuel cell]]s. These used up cells can be [[nuclear fuel reprocessing|reprocessed]] in a [[centrifuge]] to get back some of the uranium used to create the fuel cells.<br /> <br /> Reactors receive an adjacency bonus for adjacent operating reactors, which increases their effective thermal output by 100% per link. This means that two reactors operating next to each other will output a total of 160MW of thermal energy, with each reactor producing 40MW base and receiving 40MW of adjacency bonus. Un-fueled reactors do not confer any bonus.<br /> <br /> Nuclear reactors have a heat capacity of 10 MJ/C. Thus, they can buffer 5 GJ of heat energy across their working range of 500C to 1000C, and require 4.85 GJ of energy to warm up from 15C to 500C when initially placed.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> {{History|0.15.0|<br /> * Introduced}}<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Power production#Nuclear power|Power production]]<br /> * [[Heat pipe]]<br /> * [[Steam turbine]]<br /> <br /> {{ProductionNav}}<br /> {{C|Energy}}</div>
