How to use "Propellant" in context?
The propellant in an engine is the substance thatmoves the parts of the engine, and propels the vehicle. There are manydifferent propellants, but the most common type is gasoline.
Gasoline is a mixture of hydrocarbons, and is commonly found inpetrol stations. It is squirted into the engine and ignited,v energising the air and gasoline mixture and causing the pistons to push the vehicle forward.
The different types of propellants have differentproperties that affect how the engine works. Nitrogen iscommonly used in rockets, as it does not burn, and is thus easier tostore and handle.
