Modern Marine Engineer Handbook

By Martin Linder

Understand the machinery that keeps a modern ship moving, powered, safe, and operational-from the engine-room floor to the technologies reshaping marine propulsion.Modern Marine Engineer Handbook gives aspiring and working marine engineers a connected foundation in the systems, machinery, science, and operating practices behind today's merchant vessels.
Rather than treating diesel engines, electrical power, pumps, propulsion, safety, and regulations as unrelated subjects, this handbook shows you how they work together as one shipboard engineering plant.
Inside, you will learn how to: Understand ship stability, buoyancy, resistance, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials, and corrosionCompare two-stroke crosshead and four-stroke trunk-piston marine diesel enginesWork through fuel treatment, turbocharging, scavenging, cooling, lubrication, bearings, and engine troubleshootingUnderstand steam, gas-turbine, diesel-electric, battery-hybrid, and alternative propulsion systemsFollow shafting, propeller, steering, pump, piping, ballast, refrigeration, HVAC, and deck-machinery systemsUnderstand generators, switchboards, load sharing, automation, PLCs, blackout recovery, and unmanned machinery spacesBuild practical knowledge of SOLAS, MARPOL, ISM, fire protection, emergency response, and pollution preventionExplore planned maintenance, condition monitoring, dry-docking, spare-parts management, and engineering documentationExamine LNG, methanol, ammonia, hydrogen, wind assistance, and the changing future of marine propulsionThe handbook is written to support readers building their knowledge from the ground up while remaining useful as a reference once individual shipboard systems become part of daily engineering work.Build the systems-level understanding modern marine engineering demands-add this comprehensive reference to your technical library today.
