adjective
propellant gases
capable of propelling something.
example
The two-stage missile is equipped with solid 'propellant' booster and sustainer rocket motors.
Just about everything should be easily removable except the main 'propellant' tanks.
Perchlorate is the primary ingredient of solid rocket 'propellant' that is increasingly found in soil and water.
To get to the Moon she expended only about 60 kilograms of xenon 'propellant' .
The other main weakness is the lack of armor around the 'propellant' storage tanks.
A wider gap allows more of the 'propellant' gases to escape out to the side.
More like rocket engines, jets produce thrust by burning 'propellant' (jet fuel mixed with air) and forcing the rapidly expanding gases rearward.
The rapidly expanding gases from the burning 'propellant' force the projectile through the cannon tube.
In low explosives, such as the 'propellant' in a bullet cartridge, the reaction occurs relatively slowly and the pressure isn't as damaging.
Such a maneuver would require a significant amount of 'propellant' for conventional rocket systems.
Once extracted, these resources could be used for life support, 'propellant' production, and construction and shielding.
These metal cans are capped with valves that seal the pressurized 'propellant' in the can and control dispensing of the contents.
This gas has long been used as a 'propellant' in aerosol sprays and in refrigerators.
Alternatively, the aerosol container may be inverted allowing direct access to the 'propellant' via the dip tube.
Argon is also an ideal carrier gas, a 'propellant' with no propensity to react.
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.
In the more popular system, the 'propellant' is a liquefied gas.
These inhalers don't use a chemical 'propellant' to push the medication out of the inhaler.
The end result is a total of 108 tonnes of methane/oxygen rocket 'propellant' .
Most NASA spacecraft rely on some form of chemical 'propellant' to push themselves through space.
If this happens through a critical component, such as the flight computer or 'propellant' tank, this could be fatal.
Only 59 kilograms of xenon 'propellant' were used.
Once again, the speaker took a moment to state that he felt this method would eventually become feasible, once the problems of hyperbolic re-entry and high-energy 'propellant' use in return stages were faced.
The rapid expansion of gases caused by the burning 'propellant' propels the projectile from the tube toward the target.
After leaving the launcher the solid 'propellant' rocket motor accelerates the missile to supersonic speed.
With the improvement in 'propellant' in the second stage came an increase of thrust plume temperature.
He also theorized that liquid propellant made for a far more powerful and efficient fuel for rockets than solid 'propellant' .
The maneuver is necessary, since onboard 'propellant' is nearly depleted.
A fixed amount of 'propellant' is contained in the rocket motor.
The solid 'propellant' motor has a short burn time and very low smoke emission.
