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

Chapter 1: Introduction Spitfire Mk XIX‚ Tu-95 Russian strategic bomber‚ Douglas XB-42 Mixmaster‚ what makes these Aircrafts different. For most vehicles‚ the primary power consumer is the propulsion system. Advances in CFD and fabrication have increased the efficiency of the single propeller significantly. However‚ further increases in efficiency can sometimes be obtained from having two propellers in a contra- rotating configuration. Contra-rotating‚ also referred to as coaxial contra-rotating

System architecture and design of a power plant. Introduction: A power plant is a means for converting the potential energy (wind‚ solar or chemical) into electrical energy. In its simplest form it consists of steam generation equipment (boiler or nuclear reactor) and a turbine driving an electrical generator. The energy sources available in the world include coal‚ oil‚ gas‚ nuclear‚ hydroelectric‚ wind‚ solar‚ refuse-based and biomass. We can broadly categorize power plants into the following

Wind Energy: Energy from Moving Air Abstract This paper contains the description of the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity‚ also describe the prospect and history of wind energy. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water) or a generator can convert this mechanical power into electricity to power homes‚ businesses‚ schools
