What fuel do rockets use
2 answers:
Liquid Hydrogen is the fuel used by rockets.
Explanation:
- Liquid hydrogen which can be chemically denoted as "
" is often considered as the significant fuels for rocket.
- However rocket in its lower stages uses fuels such as Kerosene and oxygen where as in the higher stages such as second and third stages it uses liquid hydrogen.
- Liquid hydrogen is known to easily cool the nozzle and then also other parts of the rocket before mixing with the oxidizer such as the oxygen.
- Thus liquid hydrogen helps in preventing nozzle erosion and also reduces combustion chamber.
- Liquid hydrogen one the other hand is very expensive as 384,071 gallons of it will cost approximately $376,389.58 .
Thus liquid hydrogen is effectively used as a fuel for rocket.

Explanation:
A.
H = Aeσ^4
Using the stefan Boltzmann law
When we differentiate
dH/dT = 4AeσT³
dH/dT = 4(0.15)(0.9)(5.67)(10^-8)(650)³
= 8.4085
Exact error = 8.4085x20
= 168.17
H(650) = 0.15(0.9)(5.67)(10^-8)(650)⁴
= 1366.376watts
B.
Verifying values
H(T+ΔT) = 0.15(0.9)(5.67)(10)^-8(670)⁴
= 1542.468
H(T+ΔT) = 0.15(0.9)(5.67)(10^-8)(630)⁴
= 1205.8104
Error = 1542.468-1205.8104/2
= 168.329
ΔT = 40
H(T+ΔT) = 0.15(0.9)(5.67)(10)^-8(690)⁴
= 1735.05
H(T-ΔT) = 0.15(0.9)(5.67)(10^-8)(610)⁴
= 1735.05-1059.83/2
= 675.22/2
= 337.61
