Or in Win 10 Andrew. If you open in a new tab you do get an image you can view in one, but it's a pain to have to do it for a lot of images. |
| AdeV:
Andrew - click on "Open Image in New Tab", this will then auto-size to full-screen. Clicking on the image will then zoom it to full size, clicking again will once again fit it to your screen. As Seadog says - a bit of a nuisance if there's lots of images, but OK if there's just one or two. |

Doubleboost's go kart is an astonishing piece of engineering. It's a jet engine though. I'm building a rocket engine. It is a liquid fuelled engine using isopropyl alcohol as the fuel and nitrous oxide as the oxidiser. The fuel is used as a coolant in a jacket surrounding the combustion chamber and nozzle. This is called regenerative cooling. The fuel is mixed with water to increase its heat capacity. Also a small amount of silicon oil is added. When this burns with the fuel it creates a continuously renewing and very thin glass like substance on the chamber walls. This acts like an insulating shield to reduce to transfer if heat to the chamber walls. |

The lack of oxygen by weight and the reasonably high heat of formation make NOX a reasonably unattractive choice for fuel cooled regen. I once built an ox cooled NOX biprop.... Pyrovalve ignition, worked really well until it ran out of liquid N20, then it ate itself.... If I'd just used something like a floating ball to plug the feed when it transitioned to gaseous mode it may have survived. PK |
| British Reaction Research:
Hi PK, Thanks very much for your interest and your comments. I don't fully understand though. Why would I not get enough flow? And are you saying you built a Nox cooled motor? Sorry for being slow on the uptake, Carl. |
