The two diagrams describe the main parts of a hot air balloon and indicate how it works. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons with relevant.
The diagram details the various components of a hot
air
balloon
and describes its mechanics.
As is evident from the diagram, the three key parts of a hot air
balloon
are the envelope
, the basket
and the burner
. In addition
, the hot air
balloon
’s mechanism for ascending and descending revolves around the thermal regulation of air
.
The main part of a hot balloon
is a large envelope
which has an inverted teardrop shape. At the top is the ‘parachute valve’ which is a self-sealing flap used to regulate the pace at which hot air
escapes. The large vertical sections below the valve are called ‘gores’, which are made up of smaller panels. The envelope
tapers into a small base called a ‘skirt’. The skirt is attached to the basket
using ropes, and the burner
hangs above the basket
. Inside the basket
are propane tanks which are used to power the burner
.
Regarding the function of the hot air
balloon
, the burner
combines regular air
with propane to heat the air
trapped inside the envelope
, which then
becomes lighter and thus
makes the balloon
buoyant. To begin
a descent, the air
is cooled and effectively becomes heavier, pulling the hot air
balloon
downward.Submitted by quynhtranhbh on
