This book aims to bridge the gap between the mathematical treatment often used by the specialist control engineer and the descriptive literature of a particular manufacturer. It is written primarili for those with a general engineering background who have had little experience in instrumentation and control. The work Favours marine engineering but students and engineers in other industries sh…
Marine Electrical Equipment and Practice covers electrical topics for candidates for Department of Transport certification as Marine Engineer class one or class two. This second edition includes new chapters on shaft-driven generators and electric propulsion, including many new diagrams explaining draft, distribution and control systems. The treatment of safe electrical equipment has been expa…
This book is a companion to volume 6 (basic electrotechnology for engineers) and covers more aspects of the theory of Electrotechnology. The syllabus followed is close to that of electrical engineering for marine engineer cadets (Phase 3)of the Alternative Training Scheme and covers more fully the requirements of the Departments of Trade syllabuses of Electrotechnology for first and second clas…
This volume is a companion to volume 8 of the same series (General engineering Knowledge) and is based on the Department of Transport Syllabus of Engineering Knowledge for the Class 2 and Class 1 Engineers steam Certificates and Steam Endorsements. Subject covered include: Scotch and water-tube boilers, boiler mountings, modern trends in feed-water treatment; turbine theory, nozzles, compoundin…
The object of this book is to prepare students for the general engineering knowledge part of the certificates of competency for marine engineering officers, issued by flag state administrations, of which the Maritime Coastguard Agency (MCA) is responsible in the United Kingdom. The engineering certificates issued by the the different flags states are designed against the criteria determined by…
