Liquid fuels — are those combustible or energy generating molecules that can be harnessed to create mechanical energy, usually producing kinetic energy; they also must take the shape of their container. Most liquid fuels, in widespread use, are or derived from… … Wikipedia
Liquid 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… … Wikipedia
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 nitrogen economy — A liquid nitrogen economy is a hypothetical proposal for a future economy in which the primary form of energy storage and transport is liquid nitrogen. It is proposed as an alternative to liquid hydrogen in some transport modes and as a means of… … 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
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
