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).
What else can I help you with?
Does the length of a model rocket affect its distance?
It can. The design of the fuselage could affect the range: a long fuselage may be less rigid and so reduce the range. However, the fuselage needs to contain all the fuel and if the fuselage is too short the model may not contain much fuel. Alternatively, the fuselage will be short and squat which will reduce its aerodynamics and the increased drag will reduce the range.
How much fuel does a rocket carry?
The amount of fuel a rocket carries can vary greatly depending on its size, purpose, and destination. For example, the Saturn V rocket used in the Apollo program carried over 3 million kilograms of fuel. Today's Falcon 9 rocket from SpaceX typically carries around 400,000 kilograms of fuel.
Is helium in rocket fuel?
Helium is not typically used as a fuel in rockets. It is most commonly used in rocket propulsion systems as a pressurizing agent in liquid fuel rockets to push the fuel into the combustion chamber for efficient burning.
What is a type of motor that burns fuel without air?
An example of a motor that burns fuel without air is a solid fuel rocket motor. These motors contain both fuel and oxidizer within the fuel itself, allowing combustion to occur without the need for external air.
Which is a liquid fuel used in rocket engines?
AMMONIA
What would model rocket fuel be described as?
Modern model rocket fuel is a solid fuel.
What fuel is in a model rocket engine?
Solid fuel
What is model rocket fuel?
Please see related link below.
What can be made from oxygen?
Rocket Fuel. Ozone. Air.
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 are some suggestions for model rocket fuel?
somethinjg that burns good, soaked in gas, and compressed.
Can model rocket fuel be used to make bottle rockets?
"Model rocket fuel" is basically in the form of single-shot engines. You could, I suppose, strap one to a stick and call it a "bottle rocket", but I don't think it would fly very well (and the engine would likely burn off the stick).
Will a model rocket engine respond differently to other chemicals than rocket fuel?
Yes, yes it will. How it will respond will depend primarily on the chemicals used.
When did Robert Goddard launch the first liqued-fuel rocket?
The fisrt liquid fuel was made in 1926
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)
How is the rocket fuel stored?
Rocket fuel is typically stored in fuel tanks within the rocket's structure. The tanks are often made of lightweight materials such as aluminum or composite materials to minimize weight. The fuel may be stored separately from the oxidizer in different tanks, or they may be stored together as a single fuel mixture.
