AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on building a model rocket using G2 engines, with a specific inquiry about the burn temperature in Celsius. Participants suggest contacting the manufacturer for precise information on the flame temperature or adiabatic flame temperature. One contributor offers to provide an approximation if the chemical composition is known, mentioning ethanol as a potential fuel. The rocket design includes a gallon of fuel and a 3-inch diameter, aiming for a single-stage flight reaching approximately 17,000 feet. Accurate burn temperature data is essential for successful rocket performance.

Hey guys,
I am new here. A firend and I have decided to build our own rocket. adn we were wondering if any of you knew what the brun temp. in celcius was for a model rocket engin. We are looking at the G2's. any help would be great here. thanks a lot!

A quick google search isn't giving any results.

Your best bet would probably be to contact the manufacturer. You'll be asking what the 'flame temperature' or 'adiabatic flame temperature' is.

If you know the chemical composition, I may be able to come up with a first cut approximation for you if that doesn't work.
 
We are thinking about using eathanol. with a gallon of fuel, and a 3" diameter... single stages estimates are around 17,000 feet so that's what we want to do.
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
