Sentence examples for oxidizers from inspiring English sources

Oxidizers, such as bromate and iodate, are added routinely to compensate for the smaller amount of oxygen brought into the dough during mixing.

Other oxidizers that have seen operational use are nitric acid (HNO3), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and nitrogen tetroxide (N2O4), which are liquids under ambient conditions.

Like hypergolic fuel, the oxidizers are extremely toxic substances and so are difficult to handle.

Liquid fluorine or ozone are better oxidizers in some respects but involve more hazard and higher cost.

There are various liquid rocket propellants: monopropellants, such as nitromethane, which contain both oxidizer and fuel and are ignited by some external means; bipropellants, consisting of an oxidizer such as liquid oxygen and a fuel such as liquid hydrogen, which are injected into a combustion chamber from separate containers; and multipropellants, consisting of several oxidizers and fuels.

Rocketdyne pioneered in the use of highly volatile fuels and liquid oxidizers of extremely low temperatures.

This approach has worked for the chemical energy in the molecules of fuel and oxidizer liberated by their burning in an engine to produce heat energy that subsequently is converted to mechanical energy to run a machine; it has also worked for the conversion of nuclear mass into energy in the nuclear fusion and nuclear fission processes.

The propellants are supplied to the injector manifold at a somewhat higher pressure, usually by high-capacity turbopumps (one for the fuel and another for the oxidizer).

The liquid-propellant engine itself consists of a main chamber for mixing and burning the fuel and oxidizer, with the fore end occupied by fuel and oxidizer manifolds and injectors and the aft end composed of the supersonic nozzle.

In flights where cryogenic propellants can be utilized (e.g., ground-to-Earth-orbit propulsion), liquid oxygen is most often used as the oxidizer.

The rocket engine is different from these in that the elements of its propulsive jet (that is, the fuel and oxidizer) are self-contained within the vehicle.
