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 are two types of rocket propellant?

Two common types of rocket propellant are liquid propellant and solid propellant. Liquid propellant consists of fuel and oxidizer stored separately and combined in the combustion chamber, allowing for controlled thrust and engine shutoff. Solid propellant, on the other hand, consists of a mixture of fuel and oxidizer that is preloaded into the rocket, providing a simpler design but less control over the burn once ignited. Each type has its advantages and applications in different rocket systems.


What was the first propellent used?

Liquid Propellant!!


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.


Who made and tested the world's first liquid propellant rocket?

ROBERT HUTCHING GODDARDOn 6th March 1926 he got succeeded in launching its first liquid propellant rocket.


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.


What propellant is used to launch a rocket?

Rockets typically use a variety of propellants, which can be broadly categorized into liquid and solid types. Liquid rockets often use a combination of liquid fuel (like liquid hydrogen or RP-1) and an oxidizer (such as liquid oxygen). Solid rockets utilize a preloaded mixture of fuel and oxidizer in a solid form. The choice of propellant depends on the mission requirements and rocket design.


Who built the fist liquid propellant rocket?

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 should be the permissible or satisfactory vibration level'g' of liquid propellant rocket engine during ground discharge test?

That's way above our technical level . -You should direct your enquiry at Jet Propulsion Labs or NASA.
