Best Answer

The geyser effect is observed in vertical pipelines with an overhead reservoir when circulation of the cryogenic product ceases. Under the action of a thermal influx, a low fluid boil, which proceeds in an avalanche like process, develops at first in the pipeline; this leads to a fluid discharge into the overhead propellant tank. A hydraulic hammer of significant magnitude, which may cause the system to rupture and lead to an emergency situation, develops as the pipeline is subsequently filled with fluid from the overhead propellant tank under gravity. The periodic nature of the geyser eruptions depends on the magnitude and distribution of the thermal influx over the length of the pipeline; therefore, the cyclic repetition of impact loading is also a risk.

What type of rockets use propellents?

Liquid-propellant rockets use liquid fuel and liquid oxidizer as propellants, while solid-propellant rockets use a solid chemical mixture as propellant. Both types of rockets rely on these propellants to generate thrust for propulsion.

What are three main types of rockets that power modern spacecrafts?

Three main types of rockets that power modern spacecrafts are liquid-propellant rockets, solid-propellant rockets, and hybrid rockets. Liquid-propellant rockets use liquid fuel and oxidizer, solid-propellant rockets use solid fuel and oxidizer mixed together, and hybrid rockets use a combination of solid and liquid propellants.

How does gas propellant move when an aerosol can is used?

Whe the propelant gas is released from the can the equilibrium gas-liquid is disrupted and more liquid is evaporated.

How do aerosol spray cans work?

Aerosol spray cans contain a propellant gas, liquid product, and a valve system. When the nozzle is pressed, the valve opens, allowing the propellant to force the liquid product out of the can as a fine mist or spray. The propellant evaporates quickly, leaving the product suspended in the air.

What is the difference between solid propellant and liquid propellant rockets?

The Shuttle uses both. The outer rockets on the main body are aluminum oxide. Once lit you are on. In the big container sits a lot of separated liquid Oxygen and liquid Hydrogen. When mixed at the output nozzles, a steerable, controllable jet of very hot water is let go. The difference being solid rockets go on then off. The liquid ones are controllable.
