This book is designed to serve as a textbook for students and a
reference for today's engineering officers, port engineers,
superintendent engineers, and other maritime professionals. Steam
turbine propulsion systems are included but the coverage has been
reduced in recognition of the popularity of main propulsion diesel
engines, covered in volume 2, and the anticipated increasing
applications of aeroderivative gas turbines. Reciprocating steam
engines have been eliminated. Pumps, pumping systems, and heat
exchangers are given extensive coverage. Computer applications for
machinery and system management are presented, including an entire
chapter on maintenance management.
Relevant material on international and national laws,
classification society requirements, and standards such as ISO 9000
series and the ISM code are included in the text.
The characteristics of fuels are presented along with a
discussion of fuel testing and analysis, and a section on
bunkering. A chapter on safety and management discusses shipboard
engineering operations, shipyard repair planning and economics, and
safety management. Each chapter includes review questions and
references for additional study.
