Developed to complement Reeds Vol 8 (General Engineering for Marine
Engineers), 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.
Accessibly written and clearly illustrated, this book is the only
guide available for marine engineering students focusing on the
knowledge needed for passing the motor engineering certificate of
Competency (CoC) examinations.
This new edition reflects all developments within the discipline and
includes updates and additions on, among other things:
- Engine emissions and control engineering
- Fuel injection
- Starting and reversing
- Ancillary supply systems
- Safety and the environment
Plus updates to many of the technical engineering drawings.
