MRI has revolutionized medical diagnosis with its ability to visualize the body's internal anatomy. Digital Signal Processing has been at the forefront of MRI and other medical imaging techniques. Engineering Cut away view of a turbine engine, such as used on commercial and military aircraft.
Air enters the engine on the left and is compressed by a multistage turbine.
In the center, fuel is injected into the air flow and ignited. The hot expanding gases exit the engine toward the right, passing through another turbine that extracts power from the high velocity gas flow. Large turbine engines can generate more than 100,000 pounds of thrust.
