Reeds Vol 2: Applied Mechanics for Marine Engineers


Book Description

The book covers the principal topics in applied mechanics for professional trainees studying Merchant Navy Marine Engineering Certificates of Competency (CoC) as well as the core syllabi in applied mechanics for undergraduates studying for BSc, BEng and MEng degrees in marine engineering, naval architecture and other marine technology related programmes. The revised version takes into account the need of these students, recognising recent changes to the Merchant Navy syllabus and current pathways to a sea-going engineering career, including National diplomas, Higher National Diploma and degree courses. Basic principles are dealt with, beginning at a fairly elemental stage, with this new edition applying the underlying principles to a shipping environment. Each chapter has fully worked examples interwoven into the text, with test examples set at the end of each chapter. Other revisions include examples reflecting modern machines and practice, current legislation and current syllabi.




Reeds Vol 3: Applied Heat


Book Description

Covering the syllabuses in Applied Heat for all classes of the Marine Engineers' Certificates of Competency of the Department of Transport (DTp), this book should be a useful aid to students on BTEC and SCOTVEC engineering courses. Basic principles are dealt with, commencing at a fairly elementary stage. Each chapter has fully worked examples woven into the text, test examples are set at the end of each chapter, and some typical exam questions are included.




Reeds Vol 2: Applied Mechanics


Book Description

This book covers the syllabuses in Applied Mechanics for all classes of the Marine Engineers' Certificates of Competency of the Department of Transport. It will also be useful to students on BTEC and SCOTVEC engineering courses. Basic principles are dealt with beginning at a fairly elementary stage. Each chapter has fully worked examples interwoven into the text, test examples are set at the end of each chapter, and some typical exam questions are included. The prefix 'f' is used to indicate those parts of the text, and some test examples, which are of Class 1 standard.




Reeds Vol 4: Naval Architecture for Marine Engineers


Book Description

This textbook covers the theoretical, fundamental aspects of naval architecture for students preparing for the Class 2 and Class 1 Marine Engineer Officer exams. It introduces the basic foundation themes within naval architecture, (hydrostatics, stability, resistance and powering), using worked examples to show how solutions should be presented for an exam. The topics are ordered in a manner of a typical taught module, to aid the use of the book by lecturers as a compliment to a course. Importantly, this updated edition contains updated text and figures in line with modern practice, including an update of many of the figures to three-dimensional diagrams, and a new section on computer software for naval architecture. The book also includes sample examination questions with worked examples answers to aid students in their learning.




Reeds Vol 1: Mathematics for Marine Engineers


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.




Reeds Vol 13: Ship Stability, Powering and Resistance


Book Description

Introduction to concepts of ship stability, resistance and powering relevant to marine professionals, including naval architects and merchant navy deck and engineering officers.




Reeds Vol 8 General Engineering Knowledge for Marine Engineers


Book Description

Developed to complement Reeds Vol 12 (Motor Engineering for Marine Engineers), this textbook is key for all marine engineering officer cadets. Accessibly written and clearly illustrated, General Engineering Knowledge for Marine Engineers takes into account the varying needs of students studying 'general' marine engineering, recognising recent changes to the Merchant Navy syllabus and current pathways to a sea-going engineering career. It includes the latest equipment, practices and trends in marine engineering, as well as incorporating the 2010 Manila Amendments, particularly relating to management. It is an essential buy for any marine engineering student. This new edition reflects all developments within the discipline and includes updates and additions on, amongst other things: · Corrosion, water treatments and tests · Refrigeration and air conditioning · Fuels, such as LNG and LPG · Insulation · Low sulphur fuels · Fire and safety Plus updates to many of the technical engineering drawings.
