■ NOUN
tank
▪
The descent engine occupied the centre section, with the propellant tanks arranged symmetrically round the outside to balance the weight distribution.
▪
To liquefy them for storage in propellant tanks , a considerable amount of electrical energy must be expended to run refrigeration equipment.
▪
Early designs used four propellant tanks-two for the fuel and two for the oxidizer.
▪
The round objects are the propellant tanks .
▪
This is ice that has formed on the outer shell of the propellant tanks .
■ VERB
use
▪
A particularly simple form of rocket motor uses solid propellant .
▪
In that case, we would think first of burning hydrocarbons with liquid oxygen, or even using the hydrogen-oxygen propellant combination.
▪
Early designs used four propellant tanks-two for the fuel and two for the oxidizer.
▪
In the types of engine considered below, this is done by using the lightest mass propellant possible-hydrogen.
▪
It just happens to be the one that uses the least propellant .
EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS
▪
However, there is no source of extra oxygen to expend as rocket propellant .
▪
In order to achieve a high speed the mass of propellant burnt must be much greater than the mass of the rocket.
▪
In that case, we would think first of burning hydrocarbons with liquid oxygen, or even using the hydrogen-oxygen propellant combination.
▪
Next come the four segments that contain the solid propellant mixture.
▪
Providing life-support materials would take on added importance only after we have found out how to operate the propellant business profitably.
▪
The amount of thrust produced depends on how much of the propellant is burning at any one time.
▪
The mission plan called for an upper limit on the amount of propellant that could be used during the descent.
▪
This propellant combination performs well and permits a fairly compact vehicle design.
