How many gallons of fuel equal one pound?
About 1/8th of a gallon. Motor oil weighs a bit less than 8 pounds to the gallon.
How much does 1 liter of diesel fuel weigh in pounds?
One litre of most gas based fuel is about 2 pounds
How many gallons of diesel fuel is in 207538 pounds of diesel fuel?
29,026 gallons
How many pounds in 13423 gallons of diesel fuel?
Diesel weighs approx. 7.2 pounds 13423 x 7.2 =96,645.6#
Gallon of gas to pounds?
In flight planning we assume 6 pounds per gallon for fuel
How much does the fuel cost to get to the moon?
The space shuttle's external fuel tank caries 146,182 US gallons of liquid oxygen and 395,582 US gallons of liquid hydrogen to fuel the orbiter's main engines. Each of the 2 Solid Rocket Boosters each contains 1,100,000 pounds of propellent consisting of ammonium percholate, iron oxide, and aluminum. However, the space shuttle can only reach low earth orbit. The space shuttle doesn't have nearly enough fuel to get all the way to the moon. The only launch vehicle ever to carry humans beyond low earth orbit was the Saturn V. It had a total launch weight of 6,699,000 pounds (3,039,000 kg). Nearly all that weight was fuel, roughly 9/10 of the launch weight.
A good fuel-air mixture for an automobile is?
15 pounds of air to 1 pound of gas
How many gallons of fuel equal one pound?
About 1/8th of a gallon. Motor oil weighs a bit less than 8 pounds to the gallon.
How do space shuttles get into orbit?
To lift the 4.5 million pound shuttle from the pad to orbit (115 to 400 miles) above the Earth, the shuttle uses two solid rocket boosters, three main engines of the orbiter, the external fuel tank and the orbital maneuvering system on the orbiter. The solid rockets provide most of the main force or thrust needed to lift the space shuttle off the launch pad.
How much does jet fuel cost per pound?
Jet fuel weighs about 6.7 pounds per gallon and costs about 3 dollars per gallon, so that would equate to approximately 45 cents per pound.
How much money does jet fuel cost per pound?
Jet fuel weighs about 6.7 pounds per gallon and costs about 3 dollars per gallon, so that would equate to approximately 45 cents per pound.
How to convert Btu per pound to btu per gallon of diesel fuel?
btu per pound * pounds per gallon OK, it sounds as if you know the value of fuel in oil btu per pound.Now find out how much a gallon of fuel oil weighs and multiply the btu value x that weight in pounds and that is the value per gallon. Or simply, diesel fuel is #2 fuel oil which contains 140,000 btu per gallon.
Is a space shuttle a rocket?
The space shuttle is a reusable spacecraft. It has 3 main engines powered by liquid fuel which are used to launch it into orbit with help from similarly reusable solid fuel boosters (the white rockets along the side of the shuttle during launch). When returning after a mission, the space shuttle is unpowered and glides back for a landing. See related question.
How do Space Shuttles Work?
Space shuttles work by utilizing three major components to reach their destination. There are two rocket boosters that are critical for the launch itself and the external fuel tank that carries enough fuel for the launch. The orbiter is the component that carries the astronauts and payload. The boosters are ignited to launch the shuttle and separate shortly after launch. When the orbiter reaches its optimum height, the external fuel tanks separate. The orbiter is then set for the orbital path it will follow around the earth. When the orbiter is ready to return to the earth it will use an engine retrofire to leave its orbit and descend to re-enter the earth's atmosphere where it will land.
How many gallons of fuel oil is in 1200 pounds of fuel oil?
"A pint is a pound the world around" Eight pints = eight pounds to a gallon. Do the math. This will give you a rough answer, since oil is lighter than water, the real answer will be slightly higher.
How is the shuttle fuel stored before launch?
Liquid Hydrogen and Liquid Oxygen are delivered to launch complex 39 for loading directly into the external fuel tank several hours before a scheduled launch.
How many gallons of fuel does a Saturn v rocket use during launch?
according to Boeing the Saturn V contained 5.6 million pounds of propellant (or 960,000 gallons).
