Abstract
Before the jet-propelled, engine-driven aircrafts came into existence, propellers were used in aircrafts with piston and turboprop engines. In addition, they have been used for multiple applications, such as in cooling towers, cooling of car radiators, windmill generators, etc. As an example of the last application, Fig. 10.1 is a photograph of a series of windmills set up on a hill in a California desert.
