Reeds Vol 2 Applied Mechanics For Marine Engineers

This 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. This new edition has been fully updated to reflect the recent changes to the Merchant Navy syllabus and current pathways to a sea-going engineering career, specifically the increased emphasis that has been placed on colleges and universities now responsible for the academic requirements for those studying for a career in marine engineering. In particular this means the book has been updated to include more information about the general principles and applications of the exercises in the practical world of marine engineering. 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.

An authoritative guide to the principles of applied mechanics within a marine setting.

"The object of this book is to prepare students for the 'Mechanics and hydromechanics' part of the Certificates of Competency for marine engineering officers, issued by flag state administrations"--Preface.

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.

Covering the syllabuses in Applied Mechanics for all classes of the Marine Engineers' Certificates of Competency of the Department of Transport (DTp), basic principles are dealt with commencing 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 for the student to work out, and finally there are some typical examination questions included. The prefix f" is used to indicate those parts of the text, and some test examples, of Class One standard. The author provides fully worked step-by-step solutions leading to the final answers."

Developed to compliment Volume 8 (General Engineering Knowledge) and work as an examination guide for the requirements of the IMO's Engineering Knowledge under regulation III/2, covering the syllabuses followed by Chief Engineers and 2nd Engineers, this book helps officer cadets working toward the STCW Officer of the Watch qualification or equivalent academic award. Starting with the theoretical and practical thermodynamic operating cycles, the book is structured to give a description of the engines and components used to extract energy from fossil fuels and achieve high levels of productivity. The book covers areas that have the potential to affect engine efficiency and emissions including new electronic control systems, fuel injection and efficient turbocharging. It also looks at waste heat recovery, an important development area for improving the environmental impact of ocean going vessels. It also considers new technology and individual components within the engine which means that more energy, left over from the combustion process, can be extracted and used to improve the total thermal efficiency. The book evaluates issues of safety and environment, highlighting why the new technology must work correctly at all times and why it is necessary that engineering staff onboard understand its operation as well the consequences of any malfunction. This key textbook takes into account the varying needs of students studying motor engineering, 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.
