An essential text for all marine engineers, offering a comprehensive resource on thermodynamics within a marine setting.
supporting the load; thus, if there are 5 ropes connected to the load block as in figure 8.1, then 5 m of rope must be pulled away by the effort. Hence the velocity ratio is the ratio of 5 m of distance moved by the effort to the 1 m of ...
Importantly, this updated edition contains updated text and figures in line with modern practice, including an update of many of the figures to three-dimensional diagrams, and a new section on computer software for naval architecture.
Covering the syllabuses in Applied Heat for all classes of the Marine Engineers' Certificates of Competency of the Department of Transport (DTp), this book should be a useful aid to students on BTEC and SCOTVEC engineering courses.
This indispensible guide to ship stability covers topics such as flotation and buoyancy, small angle, large angle and longitudinal stability, water density effects, bilging, ship resistance, and advanced hydrostatics.
For example, following entry into force on 1 January 2010 of the Finnish-Swedish Ice Class Rules (FSICR) Ed. 2008, ... cloud, hub vortex, tip vortex and propeller hull vortex cavitation as distinct and different types of cavitation.
It is complementary to Volume 4 (Naval Architecture) and Volume 8 (General Engineering Knowledge). Importantly, this new edition contains up-to-date information on modern shipyards, dry-docking procedures and methods of construction.
As with all titles in the Reeds Marine Engineering Series, this book will be written in clear, accessible language, so as to be of use to all students and particularly those for whom English isn't their first language.
