Can you use pertol in a rocket?
Jet engines capture ambient oxygen to use as an oxidizer for their fuel. In a sense, an afterburner is somewhat like a rocket, but it still uses ambient oxygen for the oxidizer. Rockets are different. Since they are designed to travel out of the atmosphere, they must carry both their oxidizer and their fuel. Many hydrocarbons will work as a rocket fuel including petrol (gasoline), diesel, and even tar. But they must all also have oxygen as a second fuel for the oxidizer. Solid Rockets have both the oxidizer and fuel built into the same matrix, somewhat like gunpowder. The "Oxidizer" doesn't have to be oxygen, or even contain oxygen. Nitric Acid has been utilized as an oxidizer in some rocket engines.
Why are spacecrafts small and lightweight?
The heavier it is the stronger the engine has to be. And the stronger the engine the more fuel will it burn. And the more fuel it burns the more fuel has to be carried in the rocket. And the more fuel the rocket has to lift the stronger the engine has to be. While some Spacecrafts are not light weight such as the Apollo 11 But is the Largest And Fastest That Got to the moon
What are some examples of rocket fuel?
IRFNA Inhibited Red Fuming Nitric Acid UDMH Unsymetrical Dimethyl Hydrazine
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.
How does a rocket propel itself?
Propellants are combined in a combustion chamber where they chemically react to form hot gases. The pressure that is exerted against the combustion chamber wall, results in what is known as thrust, and this is what propels a rocket into the air.
What are some different types of fuel and why they are different?
because there are many kinds of fuels
What source of energy is used by the rocket?
Depends on the rocket. Some rockets use solid fuel, some use liquid.
How did scientists find out the different fuels that made the rocket fly up into space?
Um... chemistry. Anything that burns quickly can be used as a rocket fuel (obviously, some things are better than others).
What are some types of fuel?
First, fuel is anything combustible. So there are two types of fuel: renewable and none-renewable fuel.
How many stages in a rocket engine?
It depends. Some rocket engines have a single stage, some have 3 or more. Staging allows for the overall weight of the vehicle to be reduced by dropping off parts of the rocket and continuing on with smaller rocket engines and less fuel.
Can rocket fuel be used for gas turbine engines?
There are various types/combinations of rocket fuels. The most popular one is Hydrogen which was used by the Space Shuttle. But there are some hydrocarbon fuels as well that are used in rocket engines (for example RP-1 used by the Soyuz rocket). By asking specifically about rocket fuel I assume that you make the distinction between fuel and oxidizer (because a rocket engine generally uses both fuel and oxidizer in contrast with gas turbine engines who takes its oxidizer from atmospheric air). All in all, the answer is not as straight forward as you might expect: certain rocket fuels (see RP-1 like fuels) are very similar to jet fuel so they can be used as fuels in gas turbine engines. Other fuels like hydrogen or hydrazine can't be used in current gas turbine engines. But it is not impossible to have in the future gas turbine engines that uses hydrogen or some other fuels used in rocket engines.
What are the different types of mainframe systems?
what are some different types of mainframes
What are some suggestions for model rocket fuel?
somethinjg that burns good, soaked in gas, and compressed.

Is fuel gas?
Some gases are types of fuels.
What gas does a airplane use?
Different types of aircraft use different types of fuel. Small aircraft generally use 110 octane, 100 octane-low lead or some newer engines use diesel. Airplanes that fly using turbo-prop or turbine systems use Jet A or Jet B type fuel which is a type of kerosene fuel.
