LOL, so I am watching a show about the moon landings and just heard a NASA scientist say the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my entire life.

Yeah bullshit. I know who you are, do you think I'm stupid? You're my personal little stalker who loves to run around claiming rockets are a closed system. It's a very specific and very wrong conspiracy claim.
...

No, free expansion does not apply to it. A rocket is not attempting to move space itself, that is what you are claiming by suggesting that "space is the other side of the chamber." It's absurd bullshit. The rocket nozzle is open, it's an open system, it's not a closed system. No matter how many times you claim that space is "the other side of the chamber" that will not make it true. There is no other side of the chamber, there's just space, it's not a sealed fucking box with a divider in the middle. If you were transferring propellant between tanks THAT would be free expansion, but that's not what this is.
...

Then it's not a closed system and it ceases to be an example of free expansion. You just opened the system, and you just admitted you HAVE to open the system to model a rocket in space. Congrats, you just proved my point.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 68699570

It does matter. If it's an open system, which you admit, then free expansion does not apply.
Obviously, you're stupid because I don't know what you're talking about.
 Quoting: Idiot

Yes, you do. We both know it. If you want to lie and claim you don't, that's your choice.
So, free expansion would not take place if you used that same example but opened the walls and it was still a vacuum? Are you lying? What do the walls have to do with anything?
 Quoting: Idiot

Because the walls make it a closed system, a single system with two closed chambers. If it's an open system, then work is done. Joule free expansion naturally assumes an adiabatic process for there to be no work done, a closed, isolated system ( [link to www.fizica.unibuc.ro] ). A rocket is not an example of such a system, unless you're transferring propellant between two internal tanks.

It's the difference between transferring propellant between two closed tanks, one empty and one full (no thrust is accomplished by this) and opening the valves to burn the fuel and eject it through the rocket nozzle (thrust is accomplished by this). Are you seriously this stupid you don't understand the difference, or are you just trolling and pretending to be an idiot?
 Quoting: Dr. Astro


no such thing as a closed system.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 62654022


True, which is why free expansion is an academic hypothetical. We can approximate it, but there's no such thing as a perfect insulator or perfectly ideal gas. What's your point? Just because there's no such thing as the perfect insulator or the perfectly ideal gas doesn't mean we can't approximate it or study such things academically. Your example still only applies to a closed system. Bitching that you can't create such a system perfectly doesn't change it.

Now, your example is closed, because in his experiment, it had to be to create the near vacuum to conduct his work.

In space, since the void is a near vacuum, it would be the EXACT same as the other side of that box with the exception of no walls.

No work can be created. You can't flap your arms or spit your way to movement in space. This is absurd and basically what your example leads us to believe.

That's the end. Feel free to say some more bullshit. You're either a liar or the dumbest physicist on the face of the earth.

Wrong. You tried to claim that the vacuum itself was part of the system being considered, just "without the walls." You are therefore modelling it as the entire universe being the system and the rocket being unable to move the universe. Of course it isn't, but the universe isn't what we're interested in here. The rocket is. And the rocket is an open system so free expansion does not apply since it is distinctly NOT an adiabatic process.

Wrong. You tried to claim that the vacuum itself was part of the system being considered, just "without the walls." You are therefore modelling it as the entire universe being the system and the rocket being unable to move the universe. Of course it isn't, but the universe isn't what we're interested in here. The rocket is. And the rocket is an open system so free expansion does not apply since it is distinctly NOT an adiabatic process.

You're just intentionally trying to confuse. Let me make it simple for the casual reader who aren't trolls or idiots:

1) the small box is the chamber opening
2) the big box is a vacuum.


The only thing this idiot is hung up on, hoping you fall for it is open/closed systems.

The only way to create a vacuum, in earth conditions, is a near closed system. That example has nothing to do with space and everything to do with how gases fill a vacuum.

Space, as we are told, is a near vacuum - just like the bigger box in that example. No work is produced because NOTHING is in the way of the gas that naturally goes to fill an empty space like one that is void of particles

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 68699570

If the "big box vacuum" is space then it's not a closed system and you are trying to consider the work done to the universe itself. Which is ridiculous. There is only one box in the rocket example (except for internal transfers of fuel), and that is the rocket itself. It's simply open to space and expelling mass, so work is done. It's not an adiabatic free expansion, that REQUIRES a closed system by definition.

...

It does matter. If it's an open system, which you admit, then free expansion does not apply.
...

Yes, you do. We both know it. If you want to lie and claim you don't, that's your choice.
...

Because the walls make it a closed system, a single system with two closed chambers. If it's an open system, then work is done. Joule free expansion naturally assumes an adiabatic process for there to be no work done, a closed, isolated system ( [link to www.fizica.unibuc.ro] ). A rocket is not an example of such a system, unless you're transferring propellant between two internal tanks.

It's the difference between transferring propellant between two closed tanks, one empty and one full (no thrust is accomplished by this) and opening the valves to burn the fuel and eject it through the rocket nozzle (thrust is accomplished by this). Are you seriously this stupid you don't understand the difference, or are you just trolling and pretending to be an idiot?
 Quoting: Dr. Astro


no such thing as a closed system.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 62654022


True, which is why free expansion is an academic hypothetical. We can approximate it, but there's no such thing as a perfect insulator or perfectly ideal gas. What's your point? Just because there's no such thing as the perfect insulator or the perfectly ideal gas doesn't mean we can't approximate it or study such things academically. Your example still only applies to a closed system. Bitching that you can't create such a system perfectly doesn't change it.

My point is you are passing something that is not true as fact.

No I'm not. Just because we can't create a perfect insulator or the perfect ideal gas does not mean we can't create academic examples of what would happen in those conditions.

Rockets don't work in space. Amateur rocket launches prove this with uncut footage from launch till it refuses to work - with fuel remaining!

That's not fake!

Your links and gifs are comprised of drawings and easily faked 2 second gifs or chopped up and edited video.

And you own links prove you wrong, which I've done umpteen times. You're a liar. And it's hilarious
