What needs To burn fuel in rocket?
You need a fuel. You need something that will react or "burn" with it. This is called an oxidizer, even though oxygen is not always what is used. You need a means of forcing the fuel into a combustion chamber. You need a combustion chamber. And you need an exhaust bell for the spent fuel to leave! Some rockets need an igniter, something to set the fuel and oxidizer off. Other rockets use "hypergolic" fuels, which means that the fuel and oxidizer go off just by coming into contact. This is good because not having an igniter means one less thing that can go wrong. The lunar module had this kind of engine. Solid rockets have the fuel and oxidizer mixed together, just waiting to be ignited. The burning fuel hollows the rocket out, forming a sort of combustion chamber.
What is a rocket igniter?
A device that ignites the fuel & oxidizer mixture in the rocket engine when a "burn" is to begin.it lights the rocket.
What is the role of an oxidizer in a solid fuel system?
A solid rocket engine uses a fuel and an oxidizer. The oxidizer when burned delivers oxygen to the fuel so that it can burn. Most rockets use oxidizers because when the rocket burns it uses so much oxygen that they need a readily available supply.
What additives give rocket engines forward momentum?
Chemical rockets combine a fuel chemical and an oxidizer chemical to produce combustion products (a new, combined chemical with an ever-so-slightly lower mass than the components, and lots of energy). In the space shuttle main engine (SSME) the fuel was liquid hydrogen (other common liquid fuels are alcohol and kerosene) and the oxidizer was liquid oxygen. The rocket engine is a bell with an open end, or nozzle. When the hydrogen and oxygen are combined in the bell, they burn to produce water vapor and energy. The released energy forces the mass of the water vapor out the open end of the engine in one direction and, by conservation of momentum (Newton's third law), the mass of the rocket is propelled in the opposite direction. So, rather than a specific additive, everything that is burned in the engine provides mass that contributes to the momentum that propels the rocket.

Chemical rocket
What is atomisation in IC engine?
In internal-combustion engines, the mixing of fuel with air or some other oxidizer within the engine in order to achieve complete and rapid combustion of the fuel.
What type of engine is needed for a car to operate?
Most cars use an internal combustion engine or variance thereof to operate. An internal combustion engine works by using combustible fuel, such as fossil fuels, and combining this with a fuel oxidizer. The combination of the two creates high pressure and high temperatures to move different parts of the engine (pistons, turbine blades etc).
How does an engine or motor work?
with combustion .. their are 3 componats of combustion -gas - air - and spark .. which creates combustion
What do you use a combustion engine for?
a combustion engine is anything that runs on a "combustible fuel" or flammable which creates pressure in the engine to cause it to run. so an answer to your question is combustion engines are used for everything
The waste products of combustion leave the internal combustion engine through the?
The waste products of combustion leave the internal combustion engine through the exhaust valve.
Is the crankshaft a internal combustion engin?
The crankshaft is part of a piston engine, which can be either an internal combustion engine (one that runs on gasoline, diesel, propane, natural gas or carbon monoxide) or an external combustion engine (a steam engine). The pistons are connected to the crankshaft through connecting rods. The pistons turn the crankshaft, which creates the rotating motion you bought the engine for.
What is the difference between an external combustion engine and internal combustion engine?
An external combustion engine is where something is burning outside of the actual engine and the energy is transmitted to the engine via something. (e.g. boiler creates steam that goes to the engine a.k.a. steam engine) In an internal combustion engine, the burning happens in the actual cylinders of the engine. (e.g. car engine)
Is a steam engine an example of an internal combustion engine?
No, the steam engine is an external combustion engine because the steam is heated by heat generated by combustion outside externally through heat transfer. A spark ignition engine is an example of an internal combustion engine.
What is a Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engine?
That is your standard gasoline engine found in most cars today. Fuel/air mixture is ignited by a timed spark, controlled combustion creates power.
how does gas move from carburetor to engine?
Gravity and vacuum. The air flow into the engine creates a vacuum that sucks the metered fuel from the carburetor into the intake manifold and from there through the intake valves into the combustion chamber where it is ignited by the spark plugs.
Why is a cars engine called an intern all combustion engine?
Because it operates through the combustion of a fuel and air mixture, and this reaction occurs within the engine block.
