Liquids are a lot easier to deal with. They can be pumped, atomised, gravity fed and easily moved around in pipes.

Solids don't allow for any of that.

Is diesel solid liquid or gas?

Diesel fuel is not a solid or gas, but rather a liquid. It is a common fuel source for large industrial equipment.


What are solid rockets?

The correct term is "solid propellant rocket". These are rockets that burn fuel that is not a liquid(or they are NOT liquid fuel rockets). These rockets have a fuel that is poured into the rocket case and turns to a solid. Once ignited, there is no stopping the burn or controlling it.A simple example of this is rocket you shoot on the 4th of July. It burns black powder that has been formed into a cardboard case.Whereas, a liquid fuel rocket can be controlled by varying the amount of fuel that is injected into the rocket motor.


What is the Difference between solid propelled missile and liquid propelled missile?

Solid fueled missiles are just that. They are propelled by a solid fuel. For an everyday example of that, pick up an Estes rocket kit from Michael's craft store and look at it's propellant. Liquid propelled missiles us a liquid propellant, like your car. Liquid propellants also require a second oxidiser, either air or stored oxidiser to burn, solid propellants generally have the oxidizer mixed in. Solid fueled rockets typically can be handled rougher as they are more stable than their liquid counterparts. Hope that answers your question.


In a solid liquid mixture of this substance will the solid float or sink?

Whether the solid will float or sink in a solid-liquid mixture depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the density of the solid is greater than that of the liquid, then the solid will sink. If the density of the solid is less than that of the liquid, then the solid will float.

What are the three types of rocket fuels?

The three types of rocket fuels are liquid rocket fuel, solid rocket fuel, and hybrid rocket fuel. Liquid rocket fuel consists of liquid components that are combined and ignited to produce thrust. Solid rocket fuel is a mixture of solid components that burns to produce thrust. Hybrid rocket fuel combines elements of both liquid and solid rocket fuels.


Is rocket fuel solid or liquid?

There are solid rocket fuels, and there are liquid rocket fuels.


What are the two main types of rockets?

The two main types of rockets are liquid fuel rockets, which use liquid propellants like liquid oxygen and kerosene, and solid fuel rockets, which use a solid mixture of fuel and oxidizer. Liquid fuel rockets offer more control and efficiency, while solid fuel rockets are simpler in design and more reliable.


What kind of fuel used to propel a rocket in to space?

Rockets are propelled into space using liquid or solid propellants. Liquid propellants typically consist of liquid oxygen or hydrogen as the oxidizer and a fuel such as liquid hydrogen or kerosene. Solid propellants are a mixture of fuel and oxidizer that are combined into a solid form.


What are the examples of liquid fuels.?

There are many examples, depending upon the use. Most often, liquid fuel is described as an option as compared to solid fuel. Rockets are one example where both solid and liquid fuels may be used. Liquid hydrogen is the common rocket liquid fuel. Cooking stoves can use solid or liquid fuel, in addition to gas. The most common cooking stove liquid fuel is alcohol.


What are the two types of rocket fuel?

The two types of rocket fuel are liquid fuel and solid fuel. Liquid fuel rockets use a combination of liquid propellants, such as liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, that are mixed and burned to create thrust. Solid fuel rockets have a solid mixture of fuel and oxidizer that is ignited to produce thrust.


How is fuel stored in rockets?

Fuel is typically stored in rockets either as liquid fuel in fuel tanks or as solid fuel in a casing. Liquid fuel rockets have separate tanks for liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen or kerosene, while solid fuel rockets have a solid propellant mixture in a casing. Both types of fuel storage systems are designed to be safe, efficient, and controlled during flight.


What do rockets run on?

Rockets commonly run on liquid fuel, solid fuel, or a combination of both. Liquid fuel rockets use liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, while solid fuel rockets use a solid propellant mixture. Both types of rockets generate thrust through a controlled combustion process.

Does Saturn v have solid fuel?

No, the Saturn V rocket did not use solid fuel. It used liquid propellants in its first stage (RP-1 and liquid oxygen) and upper stages (liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen).
