Marine Diesel Engines

Marine Diesel Engines covers main propulsion engines all systems and equipments and auxiliary engines. The book carries enough in-depth material to be of value to senior students of marine engineering just as much to entry-level marine engineers and trainees. Sailing marine engineers preparing for their competency examinations will find it most useful.All chapters progress from working principles to construction and design features to operation and maintenance. Hazards inherent in a running engine and the built-in safeguards and fail-safe devices to combat them have been dealt with in a separate chapter. Line drawings and composite diagrams have been used freely to explain concepts and intricacies of design. An added feature is the section on watch keeping since that is truly a test of the skill and competence of a sailing marine engineer.Contents1. Types of Ships and Propulsion Machineries2.
