This is a fully revised, new edition on the topic of instrumentation & control systems & their application to marine engineering for professional trainees studying Merchant Navy Marine Engineering Certificates of Competency (Co C) as well as Electrical/ Marine Engineering undergraduate students. Providing generic technical & practical descriptions of the operation of instrumentation & control devices & systems, this book also contains mathematic analysis where appropriate. Addressing this subject area, the domain of Instrumentation Engineers/ Technicians as well as Control Engineers, & covering established processes & protocols & extensive developing technology, this textbook is written with the marine engineer in mind, particularly those studying Engineering Knowledge. The content ranges from simple measurement devices, through signal conditioning & digitisation to highly sophisticated automated control & instrumentation systems. It also

Includes:: a brand new section on electrical equipment in hazardous areas detailing hazards, gas groups, temperature classifications & types of protection including increased & intrinsic safety & encapsulation, & up-to-date material on the new generation of Liquified Natural Gas carriers, SMART sensors & protocols, as well as computer based systems. This text is reinforced throughout with worked examples & self-study questions.

This book was compiled to assist students studying for the Department of Trade Engineering Drawing examination for a First & Second Class Certificate of Competency. It will also benefit anyone studying for the Engineering Knowledge paper in Part B of the exam. The Do T requirements differ from standard drawing office practice. In order to determine the engineering knowledge of a candidate, a general assembly drawing is required. Details of the drawing are given in the form of dimensioned pictorial views of the individual components for an item of marine engineering machinery. The candidate`s skill as a draughtsman is judged from his attempt at the drawing. It is expected that the particular piece of machinery could be manufactured from the drawing, which necessitates inserting

Dimensions on a general assembly drawing
- a practice not common elsewhere. This established textbook will assist students through the course.

Developed to compliment Volume 8 (General Engineering Knowledge), this indispensable book comprehensively covers the motor engineering syllabus for marine engineering officer cadets. Starting with the theoretical & practical thermodynamic operating cycles, the book is structured to give a description of the engines & components used to extract energy from fossil fuels & achieve high levels of efficiency. Accessibly written & 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 (Co C) examinations. This key textbook takes into account the varying needs of students studying motor engineering, recognising recent changes to the Merchant Navy syllabus & current pathways to a sea-going engineering career, including National diplomas, Higher National Diploma & degree courses. An essential buy for any marine engineering student. ...

This indispensible guide to ship stability covers essential topics such as flotation & buoyancy, small angle, large angle & longitudinal stability, water density effects, bilging, ship resistance, & advanced hydrostatics. Each chapter has a comprehensive list of aims & objectives at the start of the topic, followed by a check-list at the end of the topic for students to ensure that they have developed all the relevant skills before moving onto the next topic area. The book features over 170 worked examples with fully explained solutions, enabling students to work through the examples to build up their knowledge & develop the necessary key skills. The worked examples, which range in difficulty from very simple one-step solutions to SQA standard exam questions & above, are predominantly based on a hypothetical ship. The reader is supplied with extracts from a typical data book for the ship which replicates those found on actual ships, enabling the reader to develop & practise real-life skills. ...

This exciting new edition covers the core subject areas of arithmetic, algebra, mensuration in 2D & 3D, trigonometry & geometry, graphs, calculus & statistics & probability for Marine Engineering students for the Merchant Navy OOW qualification. Initial examples have been designed purely to practise mathematical technique &, once these skills have been mastered, further examples focus on engineering situations where the appropriate skills may be utilised. The practical questions are primarily from a marine engineering background but questions from other disciplines, such as electrical engineering, will also be covered, & reference made to the use of advanced calculators where relevant. ...

The book covers the principal topics in applied mechanics for professional trainees studying Merchant Navy Marine Engineering Certificates of Competency (Co C) as well as the core syllabi in applied mechanics for undergraduates studying for BSc, BEng & MEng degrees in marine engineering, naval architecture & other marine technology related programmes. The revised version takes into account the need of these students, recognising recent changes to the Merchant Navy syllabus & current pathways to a sea-going engineering career, including National diplomas, Higher National Diploma & degree courses. Basic principles are dealt with, beginning at a fairly elemental stage, with this new edition applying the underlying principles to a shipping environment. Each chapter has fully worked examples interwoven into the text, with test examples set at the end of each chapter. Other revisions include examples reflecting modern machines & practice, current legislation & current syllabi. ...

This book covers the principal topics in thermodynamics for officer cadets studying Merchant Navy Marine Engineering Certificates of Competency (Co C) as well as the core syllabi in thermodynamics for undergraduate students in marine engineering, naval architecture & other marine technology related programmes. This new edition will cover the laws of thermodynamics & of perfect gases, their principles & application in a marine environment. This key textbook takes into account the varying needs of marine students, recognising recent changes to the Merchant Navy syllabus & current pathways to a sea-going engineering career, including National Diplomas, Higher National Diploma & degree courses. ...

Volume four of Reed`s Marine Engineering Series” is based on the Naval Architecture syllabuses for the Certificate of Competency for Class 2 & Class 1 Marine Engineer Officers, administered on behalf of the UK Department of Transport & SCOTVEC. Explanatory diagrams & worked examples should assist the student to assimilate the principles, & typical exam questions should test knowledge.” ...

This textbook covers ship construction techniques & methods for all classes of Merchant Navy marine deck & engineering Certificates of Competency (Co C) as well as Undergraduate students studying Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering. It is complementary to Volume 4 (Naval Architecture) & Volume 8 (General Engineering Knowledge).
