Aircraft engine An aircraft engine is the component of the propulsion system for an aircraft that generates mechanical power. Aircraft engines are almost always either lightweight piston engines or gas turbines. Turbine-powered Turboprop A turboprop engine is a type of turbine engine which drives an aircraft propeller using a reduction gear. The gas turbine is designed specifically for this application‚ with almost all of its output being used to drive the propeller. The engine’sexhaust gases do

Plant species recognition is a prominent research area similar to Face recognition problem. Plant species recognition done through image processing has common obstacles in images such as illumination‚ viewpoints‚ orientation‚ background colour variations. Apart from this plant species recognition is hard since it has many species with inter-class and intra-class variations. To solve these problems‚ a backpropagation neural network (BPNN) has been created. This BPNN model contains an input layer‚

Automotive engine Engines are desinged to be two strokes or four strokes of a piston that moves up and down in a cylinder. Generally‚ the automotive engine uses four strokes to convert chemical energy to mechanical energy through combustion of gasoline or similar hydrocarbon fuel. The heat produced is converted into mechanical work by pushing the piston down in the cylinder. A connecting rod attached to the piston transfers this energy to a rotating crankshaft Engines having from 1
