The essential guide to modern equipment found in merchant ships, focusing on 'motor' propulsion for marine engineers.Developed to complement Reeds vol 8: General Engineering Knowledge for Marine Engineers, this indispensable textbook comprehensively covers the motor engineering syllabus for marine engineering officer cadets. It is the only guide available focusing on knowledge needed to pass the motor engineering Certificate of Competency (CoC) examinations.Accessibly written and clearly illustrated with technical drawings, it begins with theoretical and practical thermodynamic operating cycles. The book is structured to give descriptions of engines and individual components used to extract heat energy from fossil fuels and achieve high levels of engine efficiency.This revised edition has been updated and expanded to remain current, covering hybrid systems, biofuels and waste heat recovery.It includes new self-assessment questions and examples to aid learning and improve assessment outcomes.

The essential textbook for all marine engineers preparing for exams on steam engineering.Designed as a companion to Reeds Vol 8: General Engineering Knowledge for Marine Engineers, this indispensable textbook covers everything those studying for merchant navy marine engineering Certificates of Competency need to know on the subject of steam engineering.Now thoroughly updated for the first time since 2003, this edition reflects all developments in the field of steam engineering; a topic that is still very much relevant as part of the syllabus for officers. This includes changing content on fuel sources, gas and steam systems and gas turbines.Accessibly written and clearly illustrated with technical drawings, the book also includes test examples for student self-assessment, also reviewed and updated for this new edition.
