The book by Meherwan Royce is deservedly considered one the most comprehensive sources of information related  to gas turbine engineering.

NFPA 25 was first released in 1992 with the declared purpose being the promote the activities and certain sections were specifically pertaining to fire pumps. NFPA fully recognizes that the installation standards such as NFPA 20 or maintenance document such as NFPA 25 must be suitable for enforcement and, as a result, must be concise and without explanatory text. Additionally, it must be acknowledged that such standards cannot be written to cover every situation that could be encountered.

Therefore, NFPA 20 and NFPA 25 must be applied with judgment, the application of good sense, and an awareness of the rationale for the requirements. To assist in this task, NFPA, in partnership with the NFSA, has developed the Fire Pump Handbook. The present publication is intended to provide users of NFPA 20 and applicable portions of NFPA 25 with background information on certain requirements.

The book also contains some suggestions on how certain provisions of the standards can be implemented effectively. The contents of the handbook are intended to provide users of NFPA 20 and NFPA 25 with a better understanding and appreciation of the documents. However, the reader is cautioned to look upon the commentary and other supporting information as views of the editors and contributing authors. Only the contents of NFPA 20 and NFPA 25 are considered the official position of NFPA.

This would be an excellent choice for the people needing a publication that would be focusing on various aspects of troubleshooting and repair of the diesel engines. The book is considerably thorough and full of informative illustrations. This textbook will provide readers with the technical details that they need beyond the general idea of how such engines function.

It really contains plenty of useful info and would definitely help all industry participants, and particularly diesel technicians with a great deal at work in their professional careers, giving much more than would be enough. The author, Paul Dempsey, has presented all recent technological advances in diesel engines. This revised and updated classic guidance is very practical, comprehensive and easy to use, equipping readers with excellent tools as well as proven techniques that are required in order to keep their diesel machinery in satisfactory working condition.

Moreover, the publication also includes so much information relating to the diesel engine diagnostics, fuel oil systems, generators and starters, mechanics of the diesel engine, some basic knowledge of the electrics, engine cooling and lubrication systems, turbochargers, governors, valves, exhaust after-treatment and other critically important aspects. The book is packed with more than three hundred schemes, drawings and images.

Diesel engines, also referred to as combustion ignition engines, are possessing a truly wide field of possible practical applications as energy converters, and that is owing to their high efficiency, The present textbook is intended to present a contemporary approach used when studying the different technical aspects of this type of engines.

The book consists of ten major chapters and the papers presented there have been selected and carefully reviewed by the recognized industry professionals and all suggestions of the reviewers have also been taken into consideration when releasing this volume. For convenience of the readers, this publication has been arranged in three sections.

The first section provides the theoretical basics of the combustion and emissions. The second section concentrates on the after-treatment of the exhaust gases and EGR. Finally, the closing section of the volume has been dedicated to the various systems of engine control and monitoring.

This is really recommendable reading for both industry professionals and students, who will definitely find there the answers to the most common theoretical questions that may arise when studying the construction and operating principles of the diesel engines. The book discusses the most important tools of detecting the common failure modes that could detect the early signs of the diesel engine failure...

This book has been prepared by Brian Nesbitt, the recognized expert in the field and a very experienced engineer. As a result of his efforts, the publication contains valuable technical information on nearly all aspects of pump technology, including the pump classification principles, materials that the pumps are usually made of, seals, installation of the pumps, their commissioning after installation and their periodic maintenance. In addition to the information covering the areas listed above, the readers will find some essential info related to the nits, makers and suppliers all over the world - it means that you will have a unique reference source for your desk, shop or library.

This is a really useful publication for the personnel dealing with installation, operation, maintenance and repair of the pumps.

The second edition of one of the most popular and recognized marine engineering textbook in the world. This publication is dealing with absolutely all aspects of a vessel's machinery starting from propulsion and steering arrangements, to the deck machinery, ship systems, as well as all possible electrical installations and other machinery-related items with the emphasis made upon safe and correct procedures.

The material presented in the very first release of the publication has been significantly enlarged and revised in order to reflect the greater weight that is being placed upon the cost effectiveness of the ship operation. This book is widely treated as the invaluable guidance for the industry professionals; however, it shall be noted that this book is equally covering the requirements to the Certificates of Competency (COC) for Class 3 and Class 4 Engineers. It will be of great help to anyone professionally interested in marine engineering and ship design.

In short, it is definitely the marine engineering bible since it provides so much of technical information presented in a very easily understandable manner. The text material of the book is supplemented with the numerous diagrams and images for better understanding. According to the customer reviews, the book is the excellent and outstanding work.
