Book excerpt: This project is aimed at those with no prior knowledge: None at all. Aiming for 'simple is best' and the KISS principle ('keep it simple stupid') means that everything in this book is 'simplified for clarity'. The diagrams will not be over-dense blueprints and, wherever I make a grand sweeping statement, I will completely omit to mention any exceptions to the rule. I'll do my best not to use big words, abbreviations, or use any numbers. To keep us on track, I've put 'look up watchwords' at the end of each part. These are intended to be entered into your favorite internet search engine. By providing these sign posts, those who want more information can go off and get it, whilst the rest of us carry on regardless. With my excuses made, I hope you get as much out this informal introduction to marine engineering as I got from writing it. My only real promise is any revenue made from this tome shall be used exclusively for foolish, unwise and meaningless adventures.

Download or read book Introduction to Marine Engineering written by D. A. Taylor (M.Sc.). This book was released on 1983. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition deals comprehensively with all aspects of a ship's machinery from propulsion and steering to deck machinery and electrical equipment with a strong emphasis upon correct and safe procedures.Material has been added and revised to reflect the greater weight now being placed upon the cost-effective operation of ships; in terms of greater equipment reliability, more fuel-efficient engines, the ever-increasing shift towards automatically operated machinery, and the need for fewer engineering crew. This is an invaluable guide for professionals but equally covers the requirements for Class 4 and Class 3 Engineer's Certificates of Competency, the first two years of the Engineer Cadet Training Scheme, and the Engineering Knowledge syllabus for the Master's Certificate.
