Engines | R Documentation |
Internal combustion engines have been built for a variety of purposes ranging from propelling small model airplanes to powering trucks to driving the propellers of giant ships. This data frame gives the characteristics of a wide size range of such engines.
data(Engines)
A data frame with 39 cases, each of which is an internal combustion engine, with observations on the following variables.
mass
In pounds
ncylinder
Number of cylinders
stroke
The length of the stroke made by a piston
strokes
Whether the engine cycle is 2-stroke or 4-stroke.
displacement
In cc
bore
Diameter of the piston
BHP
The power generated by the engine. One BHP is the same as 745.7 Watts.
RPM
The speed, in revolutions per second, at which the engine generates the listed BHP.
