How many pounds of air needed to burn 1 liter of diesel fuel?
It's best to work in one measurement system. Other than filling a tire [in some places], pounds isn't used to measure air, and then it's not the weight anyway.
what is the next step in the scientific method, following stating a question?
A. Gasoline is the best fuel for transportation needs. B. Smell of gasoline is very unpleasant. C. gasoline and diesel fuel release the same amount of energy as they are burned. D. Will I get better mileage with premium gasoline than with regular gasoline
What liquid is needed by most cars and trucks to run?
Gasoline is the most commonly used fuel for automobiles. Gasoline has many advantages over other fuels.
Can you start a fire in space?
Burning requires a flammable material and oxygen as well as a heat source. Rocket fuel will burn in space because it contains its own oxygen. Applying a heat source will ignite rocket fuel. A fuel such as gasoline will not burn in space as there is no oxygen present.
What happens when fuel such as coal or gasoline burns?
we release the potential energy to heat energy to do work
What does Gasoline and rocket fuel store?
They both contain potential energy, so the answer is "energy" .
What substance is found in liquid fuel used in rocket engines?
gasoline along with liquid oxygen, so the fuel can burn
A rocket fired from its launching pad not only picks up speed but its acceleration also increases significantly as firing continues Why is this so?
The speed of a rocket is dependent on the thrust of the engine, and the weight of the rocket. As the engine runs at a constant thrust, the rocket accelerates - it speeds up. But it also gets LIGHTER, because the rocket fuel that it is burning was part of the original mass of the rocket. Let's say that the rocket's "dry" weight is 100,000 pounds. The weight of the fuel alone might be twice that, or 200,000 pounds. When the rocket blasts off, it is a 300,000 pound rocket, with an engine big enough to lift a 300,000 pound weight. One second later, the rocket might have burned 10,000 pounds of fuel. So the same engine that was designed to lift a 300,000 weight is now lifting only 290,000 pounds; it will accelerate even faster. Nine seconds after that, the 200,000 pound fuel load is half gone, and the whole rocket weighs only 200,000 pounds - and you get even MORE acceleration. (But half of your fuel is gone!) And this hints at the problem with rockets; if I wanted to add another 100,000 pounds of fuel, it would probably take another 100,000 pounds of rocket to handle it. (A bigger engine, and more fuel tanks!) Now I've got a 500,000 pound rocket, but only 300,000 pounds of fuel. And the more fuel I add, the bigger the engine needs to be just to lift the weight of the fuel - and now I'm getting less and less acceleration, because of the weight of the fuel! As I increase the amount of fuel, pretty soon I'm getting no advantage at all, because ALL of the extra fuel is being used up, just to lift the extra fuel!
How many pounds does one gallon of fuel weigh?
1 gallon of gasoline equals 5.8 to 6.5 lbs.
Why do space vehicles use rocket fuel instead of regular fuel like a car?
Regular gasoline does not burn nearly fast enough for use in space vehicles.
Are the solid fuel rocket or the liquid fuel rocket faster?
liquid fuel
Is gasoline part of fossil fuel?
Gasoline is a fossil fuel.

In what year did Rocket Fuel Inc - FUEL - have its IPO?
Rocket Fuel Inc. (FUEL) had its IPO in 2013.
What house liquid can you use to make rocket fuel?
gasoline and hydrogen peroxide, but don't try it. you really need industrial 30% peroxide, not household 3%.
Can Gasoline replace jet fuel?
they can't use gasoline fuel only aviation fuel
What gas is in a rocket?
Rocket fuel.
