fuel wuold fill the chamber if it's pumped in at an higher rate than the one at which it is exiting the chamber. having a vacuum on the other side does not mean that u have an infinite flow exiting the chamber.

yet again, chamber doesn't have to be full of propellant to have a combustion, on the contrary ignited propellant needs space to expand

As you can see from the above, I stated that the gas would leave via the path of least resistance.

This would be directly through the nozzle & into the area of lowest pressure, i.e. the enormous zero-pressure vacuum of 'space'.
Is the "enormous zero-pressure vacuum of 'space'" any different from the vacuum in the combustion chamber before the gas is introduced?  Does that empty space not want to be filled just as much as space?

Why would the gas bounce around inside the combustion chamber, or even fill it, when that is clearly NOT the path of least resistance?
How much resistance is there in a vacuum?  It isn't until the chamber fills up that there is any resistance.

Gasses naturally want to seek equilibrium by going from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure.  The vacuum in the combustion chamber is most certainly an area of low pressure.

None, clearly.

Tell me again about this consultation you had with the laws of physics?

It is sounding increasingly unlikely...

It isn't until the chamber fills up that there is any resistance.

Again; why would the chamber 'fill' when the path of least resistance is straight out of it?

And where would this 'resistance' come from anyway, as the vacuum in 'space' is practically infinite?

Really; if you don't stop asking me the same question, in the hope that you will receive an answer more suited to your 'space-travel' fantasies, I will have to ignore you & move on.

Also; you are unhappy when I don't answer your questions, yet now it seems you are unhappy when I do answer them.

Seems somewhat contradictory & hypocritical to me...

Then there's nothing to resist the gas from expanding into the chamber.  Good to know.

I think that you're confusing "path of least resistance" with "shortest path".  They are not the same thing.  There is no resistance anywhere within the vacuum of the combustion chamber, therefore the entire chamber is the path of least resistance.

Also; you are unhappy when I don't answer your questions, yet now it seems you are unhappy when I do answer them.

Funny, I get the same impression about you.

Gases do not follow the path of least resistance. This is quite simply wrong. Nowhere in the laws of physics does it state this.

What will actually happen is the net flux will tend to be in the direction of the nozzle exit but this is not the same thing. Flux is is the overall net movement of mass if it is positive I one direction it is because the mass moving in that direction is greater than the mass mocing in the opposite direction.

This is important in fluids like gas because they are collections of fast randomly moving particles. In a closed container flux is zero as particles are bouncing around pretty evenly spaced. Open that container to space and the flux will then change towards the exit. This is because whilst particles will start finding their way out, there are no particles coming back in the opposite direction, due to empty vacuum.

This is the reason behind statement "nature abhors a vacuum"; the natural laws governing behaviour is fluids means that the particles behaving randomly will collectively tend to try and fill whatever container or area they are in, and will tend towards an even distribution. The free expansion experiment, for instance, shows this.

Im sure Papa will just LOL at this as he does have a clue how real matter behaves but there you go.

Why do you keep pretending that the chamber is not open to the vacuum?

It is, & therefore the gas will leave it by the path of least resistance, doing no work on the way.

Gases do not follow the path of least resistance.

When expanding into an area of lower pressure they do.

Which is what we're talking about.

the natural laws governing behaviour is fluids means that the particles behaving randomly will collectively tend to try and fill whatever container or area they are in

Particles that behave both randomly AND collectively?

Whatever; the 'container' or 'area' that a 'spayze-rokkit' is in, is the practically-infinite vacuum of 'space' itself.

So THAT'S what the gases from a 'rokkit-ennjyn' will be trying to fill.

Which is why they would all leave your silly 'combustion chamber' immediately...

By the path of least resistance.

Lastly, I will indeed LOL!!! at this:

yeah cindy, u're only forgettin the combustion and the heat generated. which is turned into propulsion by the nozzle

Which is why they would all leave your silly 'combustion chamber' immediately...

very fast yes, immediately no.

btw u argument is nonsense.
pressure in the combustion chamber is up to 250 bar.
 do u really think that having 1 bar or 0 bar at the open end of the combustion chamber will make any difference?

I'm not.  You're the one pretending that a gas won't expand to fill its environment (the combustion chamber), no matter how briefly. 

You're also the one pretending that gas can't be introduced into the chamber faster than it can escape into the vacuum of space, regardless of the physical dimensions of the inlet and outlet openings as well as the flow rate of the gas.

It is, & therefore the gas will leave it by the path of least resistance, doing no work on the way.
During their brief time in the combustion chamber the the gasses (fuel and oxidizer) have a chance to undergo the chemical reaction known as combustion which releases a great deal of energy and causes the gasses to expand even more.  That sounds like work to me.

Amazing.  I never cease to be surprised at how many things you can get wrong in such a small post.

First of all, no, I did not agree to your misguided interpretation of free expansion.  Every reference that I've come across (except yours) describes free expansion in an insulated, closed environment and using an ideal gas (no mass).  This does not describe a rocket in space.

Secondly...   "Gas in a vacuum."  That's an oxymoron, isn't it?  If you introduce a gas into an evacuated space (say a combustion chamber), then it's not a vacuum any more, is it?

Thirdly, what makes you think that it's a "something-from-nothing".  If it was just a matter of releasing gas into a vacuum, you might have a (rather weak) argument.  But it isn't that way. 

Did you ever notice that I keep referring to fuel/oxidizer, combustion, combustion chamber and combustion gasses?  That's because the process of burning fuel and oxidizer releases a great deal of chemical energy.  I wouldn't call all that energy released "nothing".

What part do you not understand?  Do you not understand the concept of equilibrium? 

Better yet, you claim that rockets work using pressure gradients.  Does a pressure gradient sound like a state of equilibrium to you?

The gas doesn't freely expand into the vacuum though. It has to do work to escape the rocket. Only in the case of an insulated, closed container does the gas do no NET work. This you constantly fail to understand.

And yes I admit you are correct in that I don't have a girlfriend. I have a fiancée.....

The gas doesn't choose to do work. It is an inevitable consequence of the gas interacting with the walls of the container, and the fact that there is an exit to the container. The net result is a non-zero amount of work done by the gas.

You were the one who resorted to implying we had no girlfriends and I simply pointed out that in my case you were wrong. No need to get pathetic about it.

Cindy..... Keep failing to grasp the simply fact that free expansion is a particular kind of expansion for which u need to have a very specific set of condition:
Vaccum which u have
Close container which u have NOT
insulated container which u have NOT
gasses starting from a state of equilibrium which u have NOT

u CANNOT apply free expansion results to the thermodynamics System that represent the rocket.

Gasses exiting the rocket have do to work since they pass through the nozzle which is specifically design to transform their thermal energy into thrust.

And u Cindy? U seem very angry today... Did your boyfriend just leave? No wonder by the way treat other people
