propellant

Examples of propellant in the following topics:

• Particle Accelerator

  • A particle accelerator is a device that uses electromagnetic fields to propel charged particles to high speeds within well-defined beams.
  • A particle accelerator is a device that uses electromagnetic fields to propel charged particles to high speeds and to contain them in well-defined beams.
  • Despite the fact that most accelerators (with the exception of ion facilities) actually propel subatomic particles, the term persists in popular usage when referring to particle accelerators in general.

• Nitrogen Compounds

  • This can propel a bullet out of a gun or cause a firework to explode.
  • These engines were extensively used on spacecraft such as the space shuttle and those of the Apollo Program because their propellants are liquids at room temperature and ignition occurs on contact without an ignition system, allowing many precisely controlled burns.

• Isomers in Coordination Compounds

  • The symbol Λ (lambda) is used as a prefix to describe the left-handed propeller twist formed by three bidentate ligands.
  • The symbol Δ (delta) is used as a prefix for the right-handed propeller twist.

• Sulfur Compounds

  • Sulfur hexafluoride is a dense gas used as a nonreactive and nontoxic propellant.

• Indeterminacy and Probability Distribution Maps

  • A bullet propelled from a gun at a consistent velocity under identical conditions will always follow the same trajectory and hit the same target.

• Properties of Nitrogen

  • As a propellant for draft wine, and as an alternative to or in combination with carbon dioxide in carbonated beverages
