Reeds Vol 12 Motor Engineering Knowledge for Marine Engineers

<p>Developed to complement <i>Reeds Vol 8</i> (<i>General Engineering for Marine Engineers</i>) this indispensable textbook comprehensively covers the motor engineering syllabus for marine engineering officer cadets. Starting with the theoretical and practical thermodynamic operating cycles the book is structured to give a description of the engines and components used to extract energy from fossil fuels and achieve high levels of efficiency. <p/> Accessibly written and clearly illustrated this book is the <i>only </i>guide available for marine engineering students focusing on the knowledge needed for passing the motor engineering certificate of Competency (CoC) examinations. <p/>This new edition reflects all developments within the discipline and includes updates and additions on among other things: <p/>- Engine emissions and control engineering<br>- Fuel injection<br>- Starting and reversing<br>- Ancillary supply systems<br>- Safety and the environment <p/>Plus updates to many of the technical engineering drawings.</p>
