About this title

Synopsis

The Marine Engines: Problems, Notes and Sketches is a practical companion to the naval academy’s marine engineering classic.

This edition adds notes on steam turbines, liquid fuel, and care and management of machinery afloat, organized to align with the main text.

Inside you’ll find problems, procedures, and sketches that illustrate how engines and boilers work, plus hands-on guidance for inspection, maintenance, and safe operation. The material focuses on real-world tasks cadets and sailors face, with steps you can follow to understand heat, combustion, fuel use, and the behavior of propulsion systems.
What you’ll experience

• Worked examples and problems that connect theory to shipboard practice
• Practical notes on turbine technology, fuels, and system care
• Step-by-step maintenance routines, inspections, and performance checks

Ideal for readers of naval engineering texts, sailors, and students seeking a solid, applied view of marine propulsion.
