Developed to complement Reeds Vol 8 (General Engineering for Marine Engineers), this indispensable textbook comprehensively covers the motor engineering syllabus for marine engineering officer cadets. Starting with the theoretical and practical thermodynamic operating cycles, the book is structured to give a description of the engines and components used to extract energy from fossil fuels and achieve high levels of efficiency.
Accessibly written and clearly illustrated, this book is the only guide available for marine engineering students focusing on the knowledge needed for passing the motor engineering certificate of Competency (CoC) examinations.
This new edition reflects all developments within the discipline and includes updates and additions on, amongst other things:
· Engine emissions and control engineering
· Fuel injection
· Starting and reversing
· Ancillary supply systems
· Safety and the environment
Plus updates to many of the technical engineering drawings.

Definitions

Formulae
Isothermal
operation
(
PV
=
constant)
This
is
an
ideal,
reversible
process
carried
out
at
constant
temperature.
It
follows
Boyle’s
law,
requiring
heat
addition
during
expansion
and
heat
extraction
during
compression.
It
is,
however,
impractical
due
to
the
requirement
of
very
slow
piston
speeds.
Adiabatic
operation
(
PV
γ
=
constant)
(where
γ
=
gamma
=
the
adiabatic
index
Cp/Cv
)
This
is
also
an
ideal
and
reversible
process
but
with
no
heat
addition
or
extraction
and
therefore
the
work
done
is
equivalent
to
the
change
of
internal
energy.
It
is
again
impracticable
due
to
the
requirement
of
very
high
piston
speeds.
Polytropic
operation
(
PV
n
=
constant)
This
is
close
to
a
practical
process
where
the
value
of
the
index
n
usually
lies
between
unity
and
gamma.
Volumetric
efficiency
This
is
a
comparison
between
the
mass
of
air
induced
per
cycle
and
the
mass
of
air
contained
in
the
stroke
volume
at
standard
conditions.
This
term
