What three fossil fuels do Americans burn?
coal (solid)petroleum (liquid)natural gas (gas)
Does a gasoline is a liquid gas or solid?
When you get it, it's liquid; it won't burn until it's been converted to a gas. Gasoline will freeze by the time it gets to -50C. Then it would be a solid. But most of us don't go out in that weather.
What are the advantages of liquid fuel rocket engines?
There are two types of rockets -- those that use liquid fuel and those that use solid fuel. Liquid fuel rockets have two main advantages. Liquid fuel rocket engines burning can be controlled. That is, they can be turned on and off, and their thrust (pushing force) can be controlled/varied. Second, they produce more thrust for the same amount (weight) of fuel -- called specific impulse. Liquid fuel is also cheaper, but that's rarely a consideration as it is such a small part of the cost.
Is glucose syrup solid or liquid?
Glucose, or simple sugar, is a solid until it reaches a temperature of 145 to 150 Co. At that point, it melts, it becomes a liquid. Sugar will not boil before the applied heat will begin to pyrolyze or, in the presence of air (oxygen) burn.
What are solid rockets?
The correct term is "solid propellant rocket". These are rockets that burn fuel that is not a liquid(or they are NOT liquid fuel rockets). These rockets have a fuel that is poured into the rocket case and turns to a solid. Once ignited, there is no stopping the burn or controlling it.A simple example of this is rocket you shoot on the 4th of July. It burns black powder that has been formed into a cardboard case.Whereas, a liquid fuel rocket can be controlled by varying the amount of fuel that is injected into the rocket motor.
What is the meaning of the science safety symbol flammable?
The term flammable means that it will burn. It is often used to describe a liquid. It means that if the liquid spills and catches fire, the fire is likely to spread quite rapidly so get away from it as fast as possible. The term flammable also can be applied to gases and to certain solids that will burn under special conditions. Wood, paper, and such is not usually described as a "flammable solid," for example.
What is the Difference between solid propelled missile and liquid propelled missile?
Solid fueled missiles are just that. They are propelled by a solid fuel. For an everyday example of that, pick up an Estes rocket kit from Michael's craft store and look at it's propellant. Liquid propelled missiles us a liquid propellant, like your car. Liquid propellants also require a second oxidiser, either air or stored oxidiser to burn, solid propellants generally have the oxidizer mixed in. Solid fueled rockets typically can be handled rougher as they are more stable than their liquid counterparts. Hope that answers your question.
Is it true that a liquid that can burn is flammable?
If a liquid is flammable it will burn. Flammable means can catch on fire.
What can be changed from a solid to a liquid and gas?
At low or high enough temperature EVERYTHING - except helium. Strictly speaking polymers would char and burn rather than vaporize. However, every element and a huge number of compounds can be changed from a solid to a liquid to a gas by varying the temperature.
How do rockets engines work?
They burn solid fuel in a small enclosed chamber with a shaped nozzle, or two kinds of liquid fuel that are lit in a small chamber.
Will sugar sublime?
No. Sugar is a solid. When heated, it will burn, but not sublime. (To sublime is to go from the solid state to the gaseous state with no liquid state in between. The most common thing that will sublime is solid carbon dioxide, which we know as "dry ice". It's a solid below about -109F, and sublimes into the gaseous state above that. Carbon dioxide has no liquid state at atmospheric pressure; it is only liquid below 0 degrees F at pressures above 60PSI.)
Can gas turn to solid?
i don't think so...........Gas turns into liquid????????Think about water, ice and water vapourThe above is incorrect.At normal pressures, carbon dioxide turns from gas to solid without going into a liquid phase (at around -80 deg C). At normal pressures, helium is the only gas that remains liquid at absolute zero; all other gases turn solid, though most go through a liquid phase on the way.
