When fire needs oxygen to burn then how the fire in the rocket burns in space?
Fire does indeed need oxygen to burn in the presence of atmospheric air on Earth. However, the fire in a rocket burning in space is different from the typical combustion that occurs on Earth. The flames we see when something burns on Earth are the result of combustion involving oxygen from the surrounding air. In space, there is no atmospheric air, and therefore no free oxygen available for combustion. So, if you were to light a match or a candle in the vacuum of space, it wouldn't produce a flame as we know it on Earth. However, rockets are equipped with their own oxidizers, which are substances that provide the necessary oxygen to support combustion. The most common rocket fuel used is a combination of liquid or solid fuel and an oxidizer, such as liquid oxygen (LOX), liquid hydrogen, or solid propellants. In the case of liquid oxygen, it is stored onboard the rocket in a separate tank from the fuel. When the rocket engines are ignited, the fuel and oxidizer are mixed and ignited together in a controlled manner. This chemical reaction releases a large amount of energy, creating hot gases that are expelled through the rocket's nozzles at high speeds, providing the necessary thrust for the rocket to move forward. Since rockets carry their own oxidizers and don't rely on atmospheric oxygen, they can operate in the vacuum of space, where there is no air or atmosphere. This allows them to travel beyond Earth's atmosphere and into space.
Is blue tack solid liquid or gas?
solid liquid
What is model rocket fuel made of?
For liquid fuel systems it may be: "Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen - used in the Space Shuttle main engines * Gasoline and liquid oxygen - used in Goddard's early rockets * Kerosene and liquid oxygen - used on the first stage of the large Saturn V boosters in the Apollo program * Alcohol and liquid oxygen - used in the German V2 rockets * Nitrogen tetroxide/monomethyl hydrazine - used in the Cassini engines".For solid fuel rocks, it may be a mixture of 72% nitrate, 24% carbon and 4% sulfur. See the link for more info. If you mean the stuff that is used in the giant fuel tank that is attached to a departing space shuttle, then it is almost entirely liquid O2 (liquid oxygen). However "rocket fuel" is defined as: Any of the substances or mixtures of substances that can burn rapidly with controlled combustion to produce large volumes of gas at high pressures and temperatures; includes monopropellants (hydrogen peroxide and hydrazine), liquid bipropellant fuels (organic fuel and oxidizer), and solid propellants (mixed oxidizer-fuel in a propellant grain).
Is mud a liquid or solid?
Mud is a solid not a liquid if you wanted to know :]
Liquid to solid what is the phase?
Liquid to solid is a phase change.
What type of fuel is used in model rocketry?
There are two main types of fuel: solid fuel and liquid fuel. Rocket fuel most use both a fuel and an oxidizer. The solid fuel in most modern rockets uses aluminum powder as fuel, ammonium perchlorate as an oxidizer, and iron oxide as a catalyst. Liquid fuel uses liquid hydrogen as fuel and liquid oxygen as an oxidizer.
Can a solid fuel rocket work without oxygen?
Yes. Solid rocket fuel contains its own oxidizer.
Is rocket fuel solid or liquid?
There are solid rocket fuels, and there are liquid rocket fuels.
Where does a rocket keep oxygen to burn?
Only liquid fuelled rockets (and then only some) rely on oxygen as the oxidizer. It is carried in liquid form in a tank (or tanks). It is them pumped and mixed with the fuel in the combustion chamber where the combustion reaction takes place. The combusion products then exit the rocket nozzle. In solid fuel rockets, the oxidizer (whatever that may be) is usually mixed with the fuel.
What makes a hybrid rocket engine a hybrid?
Hybrid rockets use a hybrid fuel-oxidizer system, usually a solid fuel with a liquid oxidizer. This allows simpler construction and higher reliability (like solid fuel rockets) but retains the ability to throttle the engine on demand or even turn it off and restart it (like liquid fuel rockets).
Which kind of rocket engines are used on the space shuttle and why?
Space Shuttle Main Engines (SSME) are Rocketdyne RS-24 liquid-fuel rocket engines powered by liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The Solid Rocket Boosters used during ascent are solid fuel rockets manufactured by Thiokol Corporation fueled by a mixture of ammonium perchlorate oxidizer, aluminum, an iron oxide catalyst and polymers as a binding agent.
What is the difference between solid rockets and liquid rockets?
There are two main types of rockets: liquid-fuel and solid-fuel. Liquid-fuel rockets consist of a fuel and oxygen (or other oxidizer) in liquid state. They are combined in a combustion chamber and ignited. The fuel flow to the engine can be controlled, the amount of thrust produced can be regulated and the engine can be turned off or on as needed. Solid-fuel rockets consist of a fuel and oxidizer that are pre-mixed in a solid form. Once the solid fuel is ignited, the resulting thrust cannot be regulated or turned off. This fuel system is simpler, safer, and cheaper-but less efficient-than that of a liquid-fuel rocket.
Are the solid fuel rocket or the liquid fuel rocket faster?
liquid fuel
What does a model rocket use to over come weight?
Thrust (due to solid or liquid fuel burning)
Do signal flare's work in outer space?
If its fuel has an oxidizer (oxygen-producing solid fuel) in it like solid rocket fuel, then yes.
How many types of rockets are there?
There are two main types of rocket engines: Solid fuel and liquid fuel. Liquid fuel rocket engines are usually considered significantly better than solid propulsion units, however, they are also significantly more expensive.
What is burn time in solid rocket motor?
It depends on the motor. The Space Shuttle's 4-segment motor burns for 124 seconds, for instance. The Atlas V's solid rocket motors burn for 90 seconds. A common size B4 model rocket motor burns for 1 second. it depends on the size of the rocket, the grain material, and the oxidizer to tell you how long one will burn.
