How fast does rocket fuel leave the rocket?
This depends on the fuels used (Liquid Oxygen, Hydrazine, etc) the design contours of the nozzles (if we are talking about liquid fuel rocket engines, and pressure pumps, turbo-chargers etc in the rocket body. The velocity of the rocket is dependent on a good many factors including the chemical reactions of the fuels themselves, the specific impulse as it is called, and as with autos, transmission losses due to plumbing and pipes.
What force sends a rocket to space?
The thrust, which is the force on the rocket due to air. When the fuels are burnt, air (including burnt fuel) is pushed downwards. From Newton's third law, the air exerts an upward force of equal magnitude on the rocket.
Are rocket fuels running out?
No, rocket fuel is liquid Hydrogen and liquid Oxygen, both of which are abundant and just require energy to extract from water and/or the atmosphere. The fuel that provides the energy might be limited however ;)
How many stages are there in an Apollo rocket?
The Saturn V had three stages.
What color is rocket fuel?
Rocket fuels are 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. Fuel for the space shuttle is almost entirely liquid O2 (liquid oxygen) and is pale blue.
Is rocket fuel solid or liquid?
There are solid rocket fuels, and there are liquid rocket fuels.
What is name of rocket fuel?
The name of a common rocket fuel is liquid hydrogen, which is often used in combination with liquid oxygen. There are also other types of rocket fuels including solid fuels and hybrid fuels, but liquid hydrogen is one of the most commonly used.
What are three types of fuels?
Gasoline, diesel and propane.
What are 2 types of rocket engines?
There are two basic types of rocket engines, solid fuel and liquid fuel. NASA mostly uses liquid fuel rockets, and model rockets are usually solid fuel. There are two types of solid fuels. Composite and black powder. Composite fuels are lighter and generally have higher thrust than the black powder motors. I hope this answers your question!
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.
Three types of fossil fuel and three types of renewable energy sources?
Oil, coal, and natural gas are the three main types of fossil fuels.
What are three types of energy used to heat the house?
electric, fossil fuels and geothermal
What is the energy source for a rocket?
Rocket fuels are used. It contains chemical energy
What three types of fossil fuels can be used as energy sources?
coal, oil and natural gas
What are three types of fossil fuels and their probable substance of origin?
the three types of fossil fuels is petroleum, coal,and natural gas their probable substance origin i donot know thats why i asking and going to school for i love to learn though so please answer
What three types of fuels source generates most of Connecticut's power?
Coal, oil, and natural gas
What are the three types of fossil fuels what are their state of matter?
coal (solid), oil (liquid), gas (gas)
