When we compare a tanker of 250,000-dwt (deadweight ton) with one of 25,000-dwt, we notice that the horsepower propeling the big ship is not anywhere near ten times the horsepower of the ship that is ten times smaller. In fact, it may be less than three times as much, and yet, the relatively low horsepower can give the VLCC (very large crude carrier) the same speed at sea as the smaller tanker.
This, the 12th edition of this book has been revised only to the extent of illustracting, primarily, the impact of Containerization and the influence of ports, and their activities, upon those, such as Ships officers and others involved in the maritime environment. Other than that, this book retains much of the 11th edition insofar as that can be pertinent and useful in a changing international…
This work, in so far as the mathematical theory of deviations is concerned, is based entirely on the admiralty publication The Theory of the Deviations of the Magnetic Compass prepared by the Admiralty Compass Observatory, Slough, a fact which is greatfully acknowledge. The book has been written in an endeavour to explain as simply as possible all that is involved in the correction, adjustment…
Ultrahigh-performance cooling is one of the most vital needs of many industrial technologies. However, inherently low thermal conductivity is primary limitation in developing energy efficient heat transfer fluids that are required for ultrahigh-performance cooling.
Realizing that water, energy and food are the three pillars to sustain the growth of human population in the future, this book deals with all the above aspects with particular emphasis on water and energy. In particular, the book addresses applications of membrane science and technology for water and wastewater treatment, energy and environment. The readers are also offered a glimpse into the r…
An industry guide recomending operational procedures for the safe ship to ship (STS) transfer of crude oil and product was first published in 1975. A similar guide recommending procedures for the STS transfer of liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) was published in 1980. Both publications have been revised to reflect current best practices and equipment developments. This guide builds on the previ…
It has become clear over the last several decades that most students of engineering, and most graduates of engineering, in general, do not have the interest in or the knowledge of the theoretical fundamentals needed to be fully functional in applied engineering science. The knowledge is seriously needed for purposes of marine design and engineering. There is all too often a fallback on "canned"…
Di era modern ini, untuk bernavigasi para pelaut telah menggunakan peralatan Global Positioning System (GPS) untuk membantu penentuan posisi dan arah yang lebih praktis dan dapat terintegrasi dengan sistem navigasi di kapal. Namun dengan kondisi tertentu, apabila peralatan elektronik tidak dapat berfungsi, maka kapl harus tetap dapat bernavigasi dengan berpedoman pada sistem astronomi. Buku Alm…
