REEDS MOTOR ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE FOR MARINE ENGINEERS

This is a real treasure for any practicing or future marine engineer. This book is intended to complement another volume of the Reed’s series, namely General Engineering Knowledge for Marine Engineers. The textbook is truly a perfect one owing to the exhaustive coverage of the motor engineering aspects. You will find the information about literally everything here.

The structure of the publication was developed to provide readers with the detailed descriptions of the marine diesel engines installed on board the majority of the ships, and also covers the engine components. The text is well-illustrated and written in a very easy-to-read manner. This is a new edition of the textbook with the content duly reflecting all developments and including all recent updates.

Among the newly introduced topics there are fuel injection and emissions of the shipboard engines, starting/reversing the engine, control engineering, supply systems etc. The particular attention was paid to the safety and protection of the marine environment from the pollution. We would definitely recommend this title to all students of marine engineering discipline preparing for their exams, as well as to the practicing marine engineers willing to refresh their theoretical knowledge.
