“engine”的概念、定义、翻译、参考文献-科学参考

engine

Physics

Any device for converting some forms of energy into mechanical work. See heat engine; Carnot cycle; internal-combustion engine; steam engine.

Chemical Engineering

A machine used for transforming one form of energy to another, such as chemical or electrical energy to kinetic energy or mechanical work. The development of Thomas Newcomen’s (1664–1729) steam engine, together with James Watt’s (1736–1819) improvement with a separate condensing chamber, brought about the Industrial Revolution in which steam energy was converted into useful work to operate machinery including the development of the steam locomotive engine.

Computer

1. A component of a software system that handles a specific aspect of processing. Engines thus form part, or possibly the whole, of an application’s back end. For example, a database engine provides database services other parts of the system; a search engine provides searching services; and so on. Engines can be shared among several applications—for example, through the client/server model—and are often bought from a third-party specialist supplier.
2. Another name for back end.
