What type of gas should be used for a 94 camaro with a 34 engine?
Use regular if the engine doesn't ping. Always buy fuel at a place that pumps a lot. If the fuel at the station is always fresh you will have far less problems. Your engine doesn't need fuel with detergents or high octane unless the engine has been significantly modified to raise compression. Even then, it doesn't need expensive fuel, just clean fuel.
What kind of engine does the space shuttle have?
The Space Shuttle Main Engines (SSMEs) also known as the RS-24 engines are liquid fueled reusable engines made by Rocketdyne and burn liquid hydrogen as their fuel and liquid oxygen as the oxidiser. The shuttle has three engines. The fuel is stored in the large orange External Tank strapped to the shuttle's belly. On the way to orbit, the shuttle also uses two reusable solid rocket boosters (SRBs) which provide about 83% of the takeoff thrust. These use a solid fuel containing aluminum (the fuel), ammonium perchlorate (the oxidiser), iron oxide (a catalyst), and the mixture is held together with an epoxy and a binder (which also acts as fuel). While in space, the shuttle uses the reaction control system (RCS) thrusters which are seen on various places on the shuttle orbiter, and two orbital manoeuvering system (OMS) engines. The RCS and OMS use monomethyl hydrazine as the fuel and nitrogen tetroxide as the oxidiser.
Can you replace the solid fuel with gas fuel?
i think that we can use gas fuel instead of solid fuel to save money.
If an engineers greatest concern is specific impulse which type of fuel should she use?
Liquid fuel-Apex
What is an important use of petroleum?
creating gasoline and fuel
How is the international space station is used?
The international space station is somewhere in space, and hence the name International Space Station it is there for the whole world to use, engineer's, and scientists stay out there for long term research projects that can't be conducted on Earth.
Does the international space station use a gyroscope?
Yes, it uses 4.
How is gravity created on the international space station?
The international space station does not have artificial gravity. The occupants float freely and use a lot of Velcro. Don't confuse fantasy and reality.
How International Space Station used in observing the earth?
the international space stations is somewhere in space and hence the name international space stations it is there for the whole world to use engineers and scientists stay out there for long term
What is the possible use for rockets now?
Fireworks. Launching satellites. Servicing the International Space Station.
Suppose you are an astronaut making a space walk outside your space station when your jet pack runs out of fuel How can you use your empty pack to get you back to the station?
You can use the leftover gas to return safely to your spacestation
What type of battery does the ISS use?
Based on the Duracell advertissments, the International Space Station "trusts Duracell."
Which types of water are collected and recycled for use on the international space station?
All forms of water are recycled :)
Suppose you are an astronaut making a space walk outside your space station when your jet pack runs out of fuel. how can you use your empty jet pack to get you back to the station?
You can use the leftover gas to return safely to your spacestation
How do you use arc in a sentence?
If you look up at the right time, you can see the International Space Station arc across the sky.
Why do scientists use full scale mockups of space vehicles and the International Space Station before a real mission?
To make sure it can go the distance and back
Why not use the moon as the space station?
Because it would be a moon base, and not a space station.
