example
Many of the wars in this century were fought with TNT as the main explosive and with gunpowder as the main 'propellant' of bullets and artillery shells.
The rapid expansion of gases caused by the burning 'propellant' propels the projectile from the tube toward the target.
Most NASA spacecraft rely on some form of chemical 'propellant' to push themselves through space.
To fire the weapon a projectile containing the 'propellant' and explosive is dropped into the muzzle.
In the more popular system, the 'propellant' is a liquefied gas.
Such a maneuver would require a significant amount of 'propellant' for conventional rocket systems.
To get to the Moon she expended only about 60 kilograms of xenon 'propellant' .
The cases are cleaned, inspected and reassembled for 'propellant' casting, and a new nozzle and igniter are installed.
The long-planned impact is necessary now that the onboard 'propellant' is nearly depleted.
These inhalers don't use a chemical 'propellant' to push the medication out of the inhaler.
When the firing pin strikes the primer, it ignites the 'propellant' .
Alternatively, the aerosol container may be inverted allowing direct access to the 'propellant' via the dip tube.
However, the use of this explosive mixture of saltpetre, charcoal, and sulphur as a 'propellant' for bullets from firearms, and thus gun powder, is a western development and one which took place gradually from the 13th century.
They do not require 'propellant' loading on the launch pad, and they can be stored for long periods.
In low explosives, such as the 'propellant' in a bullet cartridge, the reaction occurs relatively slowly and the pressure isn't as damaging.
These metal cans are capped with valves that seal the pressurized 'propellant' in the can and control dispensing of the contents.
Argon is also an ideal carrier gas, a 'propellant' with no propensity to react.
Perchlorate is the primary ingredient of solid rocket 'propellant' that is increasingly found in soil and water.
The rapidly expanding gases from the burning 'propellant' force the projectile through the cannon tube.
The mishap took place in the Center's solid 'propellant' space booster plant, where rocket motors are filled with the solid fuel required for their operation.
The solid 'propellant' motor has a short burn time and very low smoke emission.
The end result is a total of 108 tonnes of methane/oxygen rocket 'propellant' .
Fourthly, the room used to fill the satellites with 'propellant' has ducts around the outside.
In automobiles, for example, the thermal decomposition of sodium azide produces a large amount of nitrogen gas that acts as a 'propellant' that causes air bags to open on impact.
The first two stages used liquid fuel, the third stage solid 'propellant' .
A fixed amount of 'propellant' is contained in the rocket motor.
They therefore deliver about ten times as much thrust per kilogram of 'propellant' used, making them very ‘fuel-efficient’.
The other main weakness is the lack of armor around the 'propellant' storage tanks.
The two-stage missile is equipped with solid 'propellant' booster and sustainer rocket motors.
He also theorized that liquid propellant made for a far more powerful and efficient fuel for rockets than solid 'propellant' .
