That's a very important question.
To be very technical, the rocket motor burns without "air" ... outside the atmosphere ...
because it takes its own oxygen along with it.
There's always a chemical called an "oxidizer" somewhere in the rocket, either mixed
into the fuel, or else in a separate tank.
What else can I help you with?
Why is rocket plane more efficient in the absence of air?
A rocket plane is more efficient in the absence of air because it doesn't have to overcome air resistance, known as drag. This allows it to travel faster using less fuel and achieve higher altitudes without the need for continual propulsion to counteract drag forces.
What is the net force acting on this rocket the instant after the fuel ignites?
The net force acting on the rocket the instant after the fuel ignites is the combination of all the forces acting on it, such as thrust from the ignited fuel and air resistance.
How can there be fire in space without oxygen?
Fire in space can occur without oxygen because it doesn't need air to burn. In space, fire can happen due to the presence of fuel and heat, even in the absence of oxygen.
What is the difference between lean burn and rich burn with regards to gas turbines?
Lean burn refers to operating a gas turbine with excess air to optimize fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, while rich burn involves adding more fuel to the combustion process to increase power output. Lean burn technology is typically used for low emissions and increased efficiency, while rich burn is used for higher power output and faster response times.
Why does the rocket speed increase every second?
The rocket speed increases every second because of the continuous burning of fuel, which generates thrust that propels the rocket forward. As the fuel is burned and expelled as exhaust, the rocket becomes lighter, allowing it to accelerate due to the conservation of momentum. Additionally, there is minimal air resistance in space, enabling the rocket to accelerate more efficiently.
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.
Does a rocket motor burn fuel without air?
Yes, rocket motors can burn fuel without the presence of air because they carry their own oxidizer, which provides the oxygen needed for combustion. This allows them to operate in the vacuum of space where there is no air.
A rocket is a motor that can burn fuel without requiring?
oxygen from the surrounding air, making it suitable for space travel where there is no atmosphere.
Why engine need air?
Air is fed into the cylinder - to mix with fuel. The fuel cannot burn without air !
What is the difference between how a rocket achieves flight and how an aeroplane does?
assuming you mean a jet plane, the only difference is that the plane gets oxidizer from the atmosphere around it, while the rocket brings its own.both jets and rockets work by igniting fuel mixed with oxidizer. an oxidizer is something containing oxygen, so that the fuel can burn, since nothing can burn without oxygen.in a jet, this is often kerosene mixed with air. in a rocket, this is often liquid hydrogen mixed with liqiud oxygen.the jet gets air from outside through air intakes, while the rocket gets the liquid oxygen from a tank it brings along.
Why will a rocket work in space where there is not enough air for other vehicles to operate?
Vehicles such as airplanes and cars rely on oxygen from the air to burn their fuel. Rockets take the oxygen with them.
How can a rocket burn its fuel in space?
Rockets carry their own oxidizer to burn their fuel in space, as there is no oxygen available in space for combustion. The fuel and oxidizer react together in the rocket engine to produce thrust, allowing the rocket to move forward. This allows rockets to function in the vacuum of space where there is no atmospheric oxygen.
What is the difference between a jet engine and a rocket engine in relations to oxygen?
A jet engine takes oxygen from the air to burn with its fuel. A rocket engine has to take oxygen or some comparable oxidizer with it.
Does a fossil fuel burn in the air?
All fuels that 'burn' require air or an oxygen source for combustion. Therefore,fossil fuel also burn in the air.
Does a vehicle burn more fuel with the air condition unit on?
A vehicle does not burn anymore fuel when operating with the air conditioner unit or off as it does not burn more fuel when operating with the heater on.
Why does a rocket carry its own oxygen?
A rocket carries its own oxygen because it needs oxygen to enable combustion of fuel for propulsion in the vacuum of space where there is no atmospheric oxygen. This allows the rocket to generate thrust and propel itself forward.
What can be made from oxygen?
Rocket Fuel. Ozone. Air.
