Hard Back. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. Third Edition. Pages Numbered by each of the 15 Chapters,Blue cloth with gold spine and front lettering. Interior text is faultless. Due to dramatic changes in all aspects of ship machinery and ship operations during the past thirty years, this Third Edition of Volume 1 is not a revision of past editions but an entirely new text written in the tradition of earlier editions. It remains primarily a source of information on steam and gas turbine power plants. The diesel engine, now the most popular form of main propulsion system is covered in Volume 2. The reciprocating steam engine is no longer covered in the text, and the material on steam turbine propulsion has been reduced. However, gas turbine main propulsion has been covered in detail in the expectation that this type of power plant will become increasingly popular as new environmental regulations continue to require the use of higher-quality fuel, contributing to improved economics for the gas turbine. It is possible that gas turbines combined with heat recovery steam generators and steam turbines may become the most popular propulsion system for cruise liners. Also covered in this newest edition is the personal computer, which is rapidly becoming essential shipboard equipment for many tasks, including spare parts management, maintenance programs, vibration analysis, power plant analysis, management systems for quality and safety, communications, and record keeping. International, national, and local laws and regulations concerning the protection of the environment and the safety of shipboard personnel and property plus the rules of classification societies and flag states all combine to provide a new challenge to ships personnel. Shipboard systems designed to comply with many of these requirements (including ISO 9002 and the ISM code) are described in the text. Pumps, pumping systems and heat exchangers found on all types of ships are given extensive coverage. The characteristics of fuels, fuel chemical treatment, fuel mechanical processing, and the implications of such treatments and processes for the maintenance of both internal combustion engines and boilers are presented. Each chapter includes review questions as well as references for further study for students using this as a textbook. All the contributing editors are experts in the areas for which they have prepared chapters. Many are employed as consultants; others hold academic appointments in their fields. Contents in 15 Chapters: Thermal Sciences and Engineering, Engineering Materials, Steam Power Plants, Bearing Application and Lubrication, Steam Generation, Marine Steam Turbines, Gas Turbinse, Petroleum Fuells, Mechanical Transmission Systems, Heat Exchangers and Desalination, Piiping Components and Systems, Fluid Transfer Devices, Management and Safety of Marine Engineering Operations, Computerized Maintenance Management, and Classification and Regulatory Requirements. Plus Foreword, and Prefaces to both The First Edition and the Third Edition.
