Gas prices could rise due to the conflict with Iran. Alvaro Gonzalez/Getty Images Brent crude opened Thursday at $67.83 a barrel, down more than $13 from the high of $81 last week, after traders decided the Iran-Israel ceasefire will probably keep the Strait of Hormuz open. It follows US President Donald Trump delivering an all-caps message about oil prices on Monday, less than a day after US and Israeli forces struck three Iranian nuclear sites.

A Review of Aerospike Nozzles: Current Trends in Aerospace Applications

news.ycombinator.com Cardenas 2025-09-06 07:33:10

The design of rocket nozzles aims to expand the combustion gases until the exit pressure matches the ambient pressure, thereby maximizing thrust. However, ambient pressuredecreases as the rocket ascends, posing a challenge for conventional nozzles, which operate efficiently only at a specific altitude [ 30 ]. By adjusting their flow characteristics to the varying atmospheric pressure, aerospike nozzles offer a significant advantage in this regard. To quantify this impact, the thrust coefficient

Mass incarceration has been so persistent and pervasive that reform groups dedicated to reducing the prison population by half have often been derided as made up of fantasists. But the next decade could see this goal met and exceeded: After peaking at just more than 1.6 million Americans in 2009, the prison population was just more than 1.2 million at the e
