What are the chemical reactions in internal combustion engine?
Internal combustion engines usually use some kind of hydrocarbon fuel (gasoline for example). The fuel is burned together with the oxidizer (atmospheric air in most cases with the exception of rocket engines). The result of the chemical reaction between the hydrocarbon fuel and air is H2O, CO2 and, in smaller quantities (depending on the proportions in which the fuel and air are mixed into the combustion chamber), some radicals like CO, OH, O, H maybe even C solid particles (also known as soot). The process is not as simple as it is taught in high school chemistry as there's no single reaction leading from reactants to final products. There are many reactions leading from the decomposition of the gasoline and air molecules to the formation of the final products (all of this reactions form the reaction mechanism).

What gas is used up when combustion occurs?
Combustion or burning is the sequence of exothermic chemical reactions between a fuel and an oxidant accompanied by the production of heat and conversion of chemical species.In a complete combustion reaction, a compound reacts with an oxidizing element, such as oxygen or fluorine, and the products are compounds of each element in the fuel with the oxidizing element. For example: CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O CH2S + 6F2 → CF4 + 2HF + SF6A simpler example can be seen in the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen, which is a commonly used reaction in rocket engines: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O(g) + heatThe result is water vapor.
Which is a liquid fuel used in rocket engines?
AMMONIA
Is thrust on the rocket in the absence of gravitational force of attraction constant?
Thrust on the rocket depends only on the engines. It doesn't matter whether the rocket is sitting on the pad or out somewhere a million miles from nowhere.
What is a rocket toy name?
A popular rocket toy name is the "Stomp Rocket." It is a toy rocket launcher that uses air pressure to propel foam rockets into the air when stomped on.
The combustion reactions that occur in the engines of a rocket lead to pressure gradients that cause the gaseous products to rush out of the rocket into the atmosphere. What is created by this process?
Thrust
When combustion reactions occur inside a rocket's engine a lot of heat and pressure are released The pressure gradient is much larger inside the rocket than outside which causes the?
thrust
The combustion reactions inside the engine of a rocket cause a buildup of heat and pressure. When this heat and pressure escapes into the atmosphere what force is created?
Thrust (apex)
The combustion reactions inside the engine of a rocket cause a buildup of heat and pressure. When this heat and pressure escapes into the atmosphere, what force is created?
Thrust (apex)
Is rocket engines are internal combustion engines?
YES the oxidizer and propelant are mixed into a chamber the ignited.
What is it called when combustion occur in a rocket's engine and releases heat and pressure making a larger pressure gradient inside the rocket than outside which causes the gaseous products?
Thrust occurs when combustion in a rocket's engine releases heat and pressure making a larger pressure gradient inside the rocket than outside which causes the gaseous products?
Why don't car engines work in space but rocket engines will?
Rocket motors carry their own oxygen supply (oxygen is important for combustion), whereas automobile engines do not - they draw their oxygen from the air taken in from outside the vehicle.
Where do the rocket exerts force in pressure?
Rockets exert force at the upper part of the combustion chamber. This pushes the rocket forward.
What was invented on 1912?
theory of the propeller, compressors for combustion engines, rocket engines, Kaplan turbines, chrome-nickel steel, trans-oceanic ship with a diesel engine
Why was the liquid rocket invented?
Because of the ability to control the ignition. With a liquid supply of fuel, it is possible to regulated the combustion of such in a rocket engine. Solid rocket engines cannot be turned of or regulated once ignited.
What are two main types of rocket engines?
The two main types of rocket engines are Solid fuel rocket engines and Liquid fuel rocket engines.
A solid fuel designed for a rocket has air pocket inside what is the danger of this?
The rocket might explode from the added pressure when the combustion reaction hits the air.
