Rocket Propellant Solid or Liquid
A guide to the concept of Mechanical Engineering at Arya College The rocket propellant is the chemical mixture that is burned to produce thrust in rockets. It consists of a fuel and an oxidizer. Fuel is a substance that can be in a liquid or solid state, burns when combined with oxygen producing gases for propulsion. An oxidizer is an agent that releases oxygen in combination with a fuel. Rockets propellants for Mechanical Engineering at B Tech College in Jaipur can be classified according to their state as: 1. Solid propellant 2. Liquid propellant 3. Hybrid (a mixture of solid and liquid propellant). Solid Propellant Rockets The solid propellant rocket motor mainly consists of a seamless tube. They are made of steel, closed solidify at one end. The open end holds the nozzle which may be a single or multi-orifice type. The solid propellant rockets divide into two main types according to the amount ...
