Reeds Vol 3: Applied Thermodynamics for Marine Engineers: Reeds Marine Engineering and Technology Series

Autor Paul Anthony Russell, William Embleton, Leslie Jackson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 feb 2022
This authoritative textbook will cover the principal topics in thermodynamics for officer cadets studying Merchant Navy Marine Engineering Certificates of Competency (CoC) as well as the core syllabi in thermodynamics for undergraduate students in marine engineering, naval architecture and other marine technology related programmes. It will cover the laws of thermodynamics and of perfect gases, their principles and application in a marine environment.This new edition will be fully updated to reflect the recent changes to the Merchant Navy syllabus and current pathways to a sea-going engineering career, including National Diplomas, Higher National Diploma and degree courses. This new content will focus on how the the formulae and calculations apply to the actual workplace, and these updates will open up the potential market in the UK as well as appealing to more of the international market. Each chapter has fully worked examples interwoven into the text, with test examples at the end of each chapter. Other revisions include new material on combined steam and motor propulsion systems, expanded sections on different IC engine cycles, information on the modern use of steam and gas turbines for the production of electrical power, and more.

Cuprins

Contents with specific details of the new material IntroductionMore emphasis on the international nature of the qualification and the reasons for studying science within engineering IS units and common termsGeneral update and include additional ideas especially for the new combined steam and motor propulsion systems. Review test examples HeatChange and update the text to explain about the nature of heat to international students. Thermal expansionPractical examples to help the international students understand the concepts. Check carefully the worked examples Heat transferUpdate Figure 4.6 for clarity. Check through all example problems and solutions and update where required Law of perfect gassesUpdate/expand wording for better understanding by international students eg Fig 5.1 needs more clarity. Explain Avodagro's Law better for international students. Expand out 'Enthalpy' and 'open systems'. Check the 'Test Examples' Expansion and compression of perfect gassesExplain/expand out and/or change/update formulae such as those shown on page 86. Check all worked examples. Check page 91 - reference to state point 1 and 2' IC engines: elementary principlesExpand the 'other engine cycles' such as the Miller Cycle and the Atkinson Cycle. Update drawings and diagnostics of engine faults. Increase thermal efficiency explanation IC engine cycles Expand the detailed explanations of different IC engine cycles. Check test examples Reciprocating air compressorsUpdate drawings and text for international students. Check the test examples. SteamUpdate the Waste heat recovery system. Update/change the section on 'Steam Tables' (This is a significant change and needs careful consideration as published 'steam tables' are no longer available and the online versions are not straight forward to follow). Check test examples EntropyDefinition of the word 'abscissae' and more of an explanation of 'Entropy' for the international students TurbinesExpand the explanation of the modern use of steam and gas turbines for the production of electrical power in the latest 'Hybrid' power systems. Boilers and combustionExpand 'combustion' to include the latest 'Selective Catalytic Reduction' (SCR) technology for the reduction of harmful emissions in Diesel Exhaust. RefrigerationIncrease the detail about the modern refrigerants and change all the worked examples over to include the modern gasses. Worked examplesCheck all the steps in the calculation to ensure that International Students will be able to follow each one easily
