Rocket Propellants 1) Liquid Propellants 2) Solid Propellants 3) Hybrid Propellants Hybrid propellant engines represent an intermediate group between solid and liquid propellant engines. One of the substances is solid, usually the fuel, while the other, usually the oxidizer, is liquid. The … Continue reading
Solid Propellants
Rocket Propellants 1) Liquid Propellants 2) Solid Propellants 3) Hybrid Propellants Solid propellant motors are the simplest of all rocket designs. They consist of a casing, usually steel, filled with a mixture of solid compounds (fuel and oxidizer) that burn at … Continue reading
Liquid Propellants
Rocket Propellants 1) Liquid Propellants 2) Solid Propellants 3) Hybrid Propellants In a liquid propellant rocket, the fuel and oxidizer are stored in separate tanks, and are fed through a system of pipes, valves, and turbopumps to a combustion chamber where they … Continue reading
