Reeds Vol 12 Motor Engineering Knowledge for Marine Engineers

About this book

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.

Isothermal 
operation 
(
PV
=

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

(where 
γ
= 
gamma 
= 
the 
adiabatic

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
