The difference between solid and liquid propellants are as follows Solid propellants Liquid propellants Solid propellants have low specific impulse Liquid propellants have high specific impulse Storage, handling and transport…

Crude petroleum oil is a mixture of various solid, liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons.thesehydrocarbon are valuable and have unique uses. Each fraction differs in molecular weight and boiling point range. So,…

Rocket propellants are high oxygen-containing fuel or mixture of fuel and oxidant which burn in define and controlled manner to produce a large volume of gas. In other words, the…

The characteristics of good propellant are as follows- It should have specific impulse (thrust delivered divide by the rate of propellant burnt). It should produce low molecular weight. Non-toxic gases…

Liquid fuels easy to handle, store and transport. They occupy less space. The combustion is cleaner and has higher colourific value than solid fuels. However, they are more expensive. They…
