Book Description

This project is aimed at those with no prior knowledge: None at all. Aiming for 'simple is best' and the KISS principle ('keep it simple stupid') means that everything in this book is 'simplified for clarity'. The diagrams will not be over-dense blueprints and, wherever I make a grand sweeping statement, I will completely omit to mention any exceptions to the rule. I'll do my best not to use big words, abbreviations, or use any numbers. To keep us on track, I've put 'look up watchwords' at the end of each part. These are intended to be entered into your favorite internet search engine. By providing these sign posts, those who want more information can go off and get it, whilst the rest of us carry on regardless. With my excuses made, I hope you get as much out this informal introduction to marine engineering as I got from writing it. My only real promise is any revenue made from this tome shall be used exclusively for foolish, unwise and meaningless adventures.

Book Description

This exciting new edition covers the core subject areas of arithmetic, algebra, mensuration in 2D and 3D, trigonometry and geometry, graphs, calculus and statistics and probability for Marine Engineering students. Initial examples have been designed purely to practise mathematical technique and, once these skills have been mastered, further examples focus on engineering situations where the appropriate skills may be utilised. The practical questions are primarily from a marine engineering background but questions from other disciplines, such as electrical engineering, will also be covered, and reference made to the use of advanced calculators where relevant.

Book Description

Marine Auxiliary Machinery, Seventh Edition is a 16-chapter text that covers the significant advances in marine auxiliary machinery relevant to the certification of competency examinations. The introductory chapters deal with the basic components of marine machineries, such as propulsion system, heat exchanger, valves, and pipelines. The succeeding chapters describe the pumps and pumping system, specifically the tanker and gas carrier cargo pumps. Considerable chapters are devoted to the operation of machinery's major components, including the propeller shaft, steering gear, auxiliary power, bow thrusters, and stabilizers. Other chapters consider the refrigeration, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. The final chapters tackle the safety system of marine auxiliary machinery, particularly the fire protection, safety, instrumentation, and control systems. This book will prove useful to marine and mechanical engineers.
