A Manual of Marine Engineering: Comprising the Design, Construction, and Working of Marine Machinery (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book emerged during the late 19th century when marine engineering was in its formative years and steam-powered ships were replacing sailing vessels. The author, a lecturer at the Royal Naval College in Greenwich, sought to provide a comprehensive study of marine engineering theory and practice for engineers, students, and all those interested in the science behind the rapid development of steamship technology. The book covers the history of marine propulsion methods, from wind power to jet-propulsion, alongside practical guidelines for the design, construction, and operation of marine machinery, including a detailed analysis of important concepts such as horsepower. Filled with diagrams, tables, and formulae, this book remains a valuable historical text on the development of a critical technology that shaped global trade and transportation networks.
