The cryogenic engine gets its name from the extremely cold temperature at which liquid nitrogen is stored. Air moving around the vehicle is used to heat liquid nitrogen to a boil. Once it boils, it turns to gas in the same way that heated water forms steam in a steam engine. A rocket like the Ariane 5 uses oxygen and hydrogen, both stored as a cryogenic liquid, to produce its power. The liquid nitrogen, stored at -320 degrees Fahrenheit, is vaporized by the heat exchanger. Nitrogen gas formed in the heat exchanger expands to about 700 times the volume of its liquid form. This highly pressurised gas is then fed to the expander, where the force of the nitrogen gas is converted into mechanical power.

What is rocket cryogenic engines?
Rocket engine
What is Advantage of cryogenic engine in rockets?
More bounce per ounce of fuel..
Name the fuel used in cryogenic engine?
Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen
Working principle of cryogenic engine?
- tempering remain a mystery to most people in industry.
Why is a cryogenic engine important?
A cryogenic engine is important because it will carry heavy payloads to geosynchronous transfer orbit. This is highly essential for future telecommunication and space exploration. It is able to carry up to five tons compared to the 1.5-ton payload capacity of PSLVs.
What is cryogenic heat treatment?
cryogenic metal treatment
Which substance is a liquid fuel used in rocket engine?
Traditionally, rockets use cryogenic (super-cold) oxygen and hydrogen.
What rhymes with photogenic?
cryogenic :)
What is cryogenic freezer?
A cryogenic freezer is used to bring components inside the freezer down to cryogenic temperatures. Many cryogenic freezers are available for all sorts of applications. Cold boxes with added ln2 capabilities can refrigerate parts and then complete cryogenic processing cycles. Additionally, cryo freezers are available to freeze sex cells, stems cells, and more. Sometimes people are frozen after death, which is called cryonics. I have added a site below that has cryogenic freezers and processors available.
What has the author I Spradley written?
I. Spradley has written: 'Integrated Cryogenic Experiment (ICE) microsphere investigation' -- subject(s): Insulation, Microgravity, Microparticles, Weightlessness, Liquid helium, Cryogenic equipment, Cryogenic storage
Has cryogenic freezing been proven to work on any living thing?
Cryogenic freezing has been successfully used on small organisms like tardigrades and certain types of human cells. However, there is currently no scientific evidence to suggest that cryogenic freezing can preserve and revive larger, more complex organisms like humans. Research in this area is ongoing.
Was some cryogenic frozen?
cryo-what!?
