Bøker i Reeds Marine Engineering and Technology Series-serien

An essential text for all marine engineers, offering a comprehensive resource on thermodynamics within a marine setting.

The book covers stability, resistance and powering based topics, such as flotation and buoyancy, small angle, large angle and longitudinal stability, water density effects, bilging, ship resistance, and advanced hydrostatics, and is aimed at marine students and professionals.

"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.

A new title in the highly respected Reeds Marine Engineering Series, in response to the increasing reliance on electrical power systems in the marine and offshore industry.Large passenger ships now carry as many electrical officers as marine engineers, electrical propulsion is now in common use by LNG carriers, small parcel tankers, oil tankers, ferries, offshore support, the navy, fleet auxiliary, cable layers and cruise ships, and a number of shipping companies now award the Chief Electro Technical Officer the equivalent rank to the ship''s master and Chief Engineer. These developments have resulted in the establishment of a Foundation Degree programme for Electro Technical Officers and the current development of full degree programmes. As such, a targeted textbook for students on the subject is required.As with all titles in the Reeds Marine Engineering Series, this book will be written in clear, accessible language, so as to be of use to all students and particularly those for whom English isn''t their first language. Technical drawings and diagrams will be used throughout and each chapter will be accompanied by example examination questions.

An authoritative guide to modern equipment found in merchant ships focusing on 'motor' propulsion for marine engineers.

Key text covering the application and operation of instrumentation and control systems in marine engineering.

A fully revised and updated edition of this classic textbook covering the principal topics in electrotechnology for marine engineers.This book provides comprehensive coverage of the basic theoretical work required by Marine Engineering Officers and Electrotechnical Officers (ETOs), putting into place key fundamental building blocks and topics in electrotechnology before progressing to more complex topics and electromagnetic systems.Volume 6 covers essential basic electrotechnology principles for the 21st century, including the fundamentals of electron theory, AC and DC current, circuits, electromagnetism and electrochemistry. It provides a firm foundation for complementary Volume 7 in the Marine Engineering Series to discuss emergent technology such as image intensifers, the transistor, increased maritime use of LEDs, and references to modern ship systems such as GPS, ECDIS, Radar and AIS.This new edition has been thoroughly updated in line with guidelines, best practice and the many technological developments that have taken place over the past 5 years since the previous edition published, as well as improvements and updates to the technical diagrams.

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, recognizing 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, among other things:┬╖ Corrosion, water treatments and tests┬╖ Refrigeration and air conditioning┬╖ Fuels, such as LNG and LPG┬╖ Insulation┬╖ Low sulphur fuels┬╖ Fire and safetyPlus updates to many of the technical engineering drawings.

Reeds Vol 4: Naval Architecture for Marine Engineers covers the theoretical, fundamental aspects of vessel design 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 presented as a typical teaching module, to aid the use of the book by lecturers as a compliment to a course. This updated edition contains text and figures in line with modern practice, including many of the figures as 3D diagrams, and a new section on computer software for naval architecture. Naval Architecture for Marine Engineers also includes sample examination questions with worked examples answers to aid students in their learning.

Essential text for all marineengineers and ETO officers, covering advanced electrotechnology theory.

Exploring the full extent of threats to warships and thus the transformational change in naval architecture to incorporate modern stealth technologies in all of a naval platform's design parameters.
