Inhaltsangabe

Master the practical design of marine engines, including turning and reversing engines. This book delivers focused methods and real-world calculations for laying out and sizing marine power systems, with an emphasis on systematic data-keeping and sound safety factors.

The text lays out the scope of design work beyond general descriptions, showing how to approach the principal parts of the engine and how different design choices affect performance. It also covers turning and reversing engines, which are presented as essential auxiliaries in ship propulsion and machinery.

• Clear, practical design methods for cylinder dimensions, stresses, and bearings


• Step-by-step calculations for pistons, rods, cranks, and connecting components


• Guidance on steam cycles, valve timing, and steam speeds for different engine types


• Emphasis on data-backed coefficients and safety factors drawn from real-world work
