 | | Methylacetylene is CH3-C-(triple bond)-CH, while propadiene is CH2=C=CH2 The vapor pressure of methylacetylene is lower than that of MAPP gas, and the density is higher due to the elimination of the propane (C3H8) and propylene (C3H6). |
 | | Burned with liquid oxygen, the theoretical exhaust velocity of methylacetylene (C3H4) is about 3.5 % higher than that of kerosene, but the bulk density including both the fuel and oxidizer is about 10% lower. |
 | | This is favorable compared with methane (CH4), which has an exhaust velocity of about 3.8% higher than kerosene, but a bulk density of 22% lower (both hydrocarbons assumed to be at their normal boiling point at atmospheric presure). |
