Where are the air tanks located on a submarine?

The air tanks on a submarine are typically located in the ballast tanks, which are distributed throughout the submarine's hull. These tanks are used to adjust the submarine's buoyancy by filling or emptying them with air or water.


How is the energy source stored once it is recovered in petroleum?

Once petroleum is recovered, it is stored in various ways such as in underground storage tanks, above-ground storage tanks, or in refinery storage tanks. The petroleum is stored in these tanks until it is transported to distribution points or end-users for consumption.


What is Internal Floating roof tank?

Floating roof tanks are broadly divided into external floating roof tanks (usually called as floating roof tanks:FR Tanks) and internal floating roof types(IFR Tanks). IFR tanks are used for liquids with low flash-points(e.g. ATF, MS. gasolene, ethanol). These tanks are nothing but cone roof tanks with a floating roof inside which travels up and down along with the liquid level. This floating roof traps the vapor from low flash-point fuels. Floating roofs are supported with legs on which they rest. FR tanks do not have a fixed roof (it is open in the top) and has a floating roof only. Medium flash point liquids such as naphtha, kerosene, diesel, crude oil etc. are stored in these tanks. sealions


What are Auxiliary fuel tanks in aircraft?

Auxiliary fuel tanks are additional fuel tanks installed on aircraft to increase their range or endurance. They are used to extend the aircraft's flight time and allow it to fly longer distances without the need for frequent refueling stops. These tanks can be mounted internally or externally on the aircraft, depending on the design and requirements.


Where can you float?

You can float in bodies of water such as lakes, oceans, rivers, and pools. Additionally, some places offer sensory deprivation tanks or float tanks designed for therapeutic floating experiences.

Why do tanks have caterpillar tracks?

The battle tanks have caterpillar tracks instead of tires because the tires cannot manage the weight of the tanks.When area increases pressure decreases .So when caterpillar tracks are used the pressure decreases and the battle tanks can move easily.


Why war tanks have caterpillar tracks over their wheels?

caterpillar tracks have large surface area than wheels. larger the surface area, smaller will be the pressure. Hence tanks and buldozers are fitted with caterpillar tracks


What is the reason battle tanks have caterpillar tracks instead of tyres?

Battle tanks use tracks to spread their weight on soft ground. Tanks weigh 40+ tons; If they used wheels they would often get stuck. It's the same reason earth moving equipment (bulldozers) use tracks.


What are caterpillar tracks?

Caterpillar tracks are knobbly strips of metal or rubber, which wrap around the wheels of tanks, bulldozers and other off road vehicles. They stop the wheels from getting stuck in muddy or sandy ground. This is a very helpful technique.


What name is given to the tracks on which tanks and bulldozers run?

Caterpillar tracks.


Why are caterpillar tracks used in battle tanks instead of tires?

Battle tanks use caterpillar tracks to spread their heavy weight on soft ground. this prevents the sinking of land under the weight of the tank . ( as more the surface area less the pressure .)


Why military tanks have more tires?

Tanks don't use tyres - they use steel caterpillar tracks.


How invented army tanks?

The machinegun and barbed wire were causing a stale-mate in WWI; tanks (being bullet proof and having tracks instead of wheels) were able to break that stale-mate.


What were the tanks used for?

Originally to break through enemy lines, since they were bullet proof and hand-grenade proof; and had tracks instead of wheels to traverse through mud with.


Why war tanks move on caterpillar tracks which are broad and chain like and cover wheel?

Weight distribution. Tracks - caterpillar and band tracks both - spread the weight over a much broader area, reducing ground pressure. Were they on tires, tanks would have much greater ground pressure, and would be much more prone to sinking into the ground.


What are the advantages for the tanks?

They're heavily armoured and they have a cannon. Also their caterpillar wheels help when going over uneven ground.


Why did tanks have tracks?

Tracks have more traction because they cover more ground with no spaces in between. Wheeled vehicles have spaces between the wheels which allow the wheels to fall into holes/cracks/crevices/etc; allowing the wheeled vehicle to get stuck.
