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…
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…
This book is intended to cover the basic theory underpinning applied work detailed in various syllabi for Electrotechnology written examination, including the maritime coastguard agency (www.dft.gov.uk/mca) Department of Transport Examinations for class 1 and class 2 engineers (General engineering science II, STCW III/2 second engineer, and STCW III/2 Chief engineer) but is designed to be much …
The book can now also be considered as more than a specific examination guide and will be useful to superintendent engineers wishing to have a general guide to the latest trend from which they can seek more detail. Engineering knowledge is delivered via several different academic pathways from the Scottish Curriculum Authority's (SQA) Maritime Studies Qualification (MSQ) through Higer National …
