  • fuel injection — fuel injection, adj. the spraying of liquid fuel into the cylinders or combustion chambers of an engine. [1895 1900] * * * In an internal combustion engine, introduction of fuel into the cylinders by a pump rather than by the suction created by… …   Universalium

  • Liquid rocket — A liquid rocket is a rocket with an engine that uses propellants in liquid form. Liquids are desirable because their reasonably high density allows the volume and hence the mass of the tanks to be relatively low, resulting in a high mass ratio.… …   Wikipedia

  • Liquid rocket propellants — The highest specific impulse chemical rockets use liquid propellants. This type of propellent has a long history going back to the first rockets and is still in use in for example the Space Shuttle and Ariane 5. History Early developmentOn March… …   Wikipedia

  • Fuel efficiency in transportation — This page describes fuel efficiency in means of transportation. For the environmental impact assessment of a given product or service throughout its lifespan, see life cycle assessment. Caveats Comparing Fuel efficiency in transportation is a bit …   Wikipedia

  • Liquid rocket booster — A Liquid Rocket Booster (LRB) is similar to a solid rocket booster (SRB) attached to the side of a rocket to give it extra lift at takeoff. A Liquid Rocket Booster has fuel and oxidiser in liquid form, as opposed to a solid rocket or hybrid… …   Wikipedia

  • Solid-fuel rocket — A solid rocket or a solid fuel rocket is a rocket with a motor that uses solid propellants (fuel/oxidizer). The earliest rockets were solid fueled, powered by gunpowder, used by the Chinese and Arabs in warfare as early as the 13th century. All… …   Wikipedia

  • Nitrous oxide fuel blend — propellants are a class of liquid rocket propellants. The fuel and oxidizer are blended and stored, and are sometimes referred to as mixed monopropellants . Upon use, the propellant is heated or passed over a catalyst bed and the Nitrous oxide… …   Wikipedia

  • Cryogenic fuel — Cryogenic fuels are fuels that require storage at extremely low temperatures in order to maintain them in a liquid state. Cryogenic fuels most often constitute liquefied gases such as liquid hydrogen. Some rocket engines use regenerative cooling …   Wikipedia

  • Alternative fuel — Alternative fuels, also known as non conventional fuels, are any materials or substances that can be used as a fuel, other than conventional fuels. Conventional fuels include: fossil fuels (petroleum (oil), coal, propane, and natural gas), and… …   Wikipedia
