liquid oxidizer
1Liquid oxygen — This article is about the liquid form of the element oxygen. For the commercial product, see Liquid Oxygen (supplement). LOX redirects here. For other uses, see Lox (disambiguation). The blue colour of liquid oxygen in a dewar flask Liquid oxygen …
2Liquid hydrogen — (LH2 or LH2) is the liquid state of the element hydrogen. It is a common liquid rocket fuel for rocket applications. Hydrogen is found naturally in the molecular H2 form.To exist as a liquid, H2 must be pressurized and cooled to a very low… …
3liquid oxygen — n. the light bluish liquid form of oxygen produced by fractionation of liquid air and used as an oxidizer in liquid fueled rockets: oxygen is often stored in this form, which boils at 183°C …
4Liquid 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… …
5liquid oxygen — noun a bluish translucent magnetic liquid obtained by compressing gaseous oxygen and then cooling it below its boiling point; used as an oxidizer in rocket propellants • Syn: ↑LOX • Hypernyms: ↑oxygen, ↑O, ↑atomic number 8 * * * noun : a pale… …
6Liquid air cycle engine — A liquid air cycle engine (LACE) is a spacecraft propulsion engine that attempts to gain efficiency by gathering part of its oxidizer from the atmosphere. In a LOX/LH2 bipropellant rocket the liquid oxygen needed for combustion is the majority of …
7Liquid 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.… …
