Synopsis
Excerpt from A Manual of Marine Engineering: Comprising the Design, Construction, and Working of Marine Machinery
The demand for the Manual having exhausted the edition, the opportunity has been taken to make such alterations and addition as will bring it up to date. Although such a comparatively short time has elapsed since it was revised, the modifications and extensions of the Rules of the Board of Trade, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, British Corporation, &c., have been considerable, and they are now all noted in this edition.
The use of superheated steam on board ship has been revived in a tentative way, the advantages of steam in this state are obvious, and the possibilities and value of it are shown in diagrammatic form (Fig. 16a) from experiments made with engines of the marine type, or of the types analagous to it, in central electric station on shore.
In Appendix N, the turbine as a marine motor is discussed.
In conclusion, the author trusts that this revised edition may meet with as kindly a reception as has been accorded to its predecessors.

A Manual of Marine Engineering: Comprising the Design, Construction
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330576311_0
