Books in the Reeds Marine Engineering and Technology Series series

A fully revised and updated edition of this classic textbook covering the principal topics in electrotechnology for marine engineers.This book provides comprehensive coverage of the basic theoretical work required by Marine Engineering Officers and Electrotechnical Officers (ETOs), putting into place key fundamental building blocks and topics in electrotechnology before progressing to more complex topics and electromagnetic systems.Volume 6 covers essential basic electrotechnology principles for the 21st century, including the fundamentals of electron theory, AC and DC current, circuits, electromagnetism and electrochemistry. It provides a firm foundation for complementary Volume 7 in the Marine Engineering Series to discuss emergent technology such as image intensifers, the transistor, increased maritime use of LEDs, and references to modern ship systems such as GPS, ECDIS, Radar and AIS.This new edition has been thoroughly updated in line with guidelines, best practice and the many technological developments that have taken place over the past 5 years since the previous edition published, as well as improvements and updates to the technical diagrams.

An authoritative guide to modern equipment found in merchant ships focusing on 'motor' propulsion for marine engineers.

An essential text for all marine engineers, offering a comprehensive resource on thermodynamics within a marine setting.

A new title in the highly respected Reeds Marine Engineering Series, in response to the increasing reliance on electrical power systems in the marine and offshore industry.Large passenger ships now carry as many electrical officers as marine engineers, electrical propulsion is now in common use by LNG carriers, small parcel tankers, oil tankers, ferries, offshore support, the navy, fleet auxiliary, cable layers and cruise ships, and a number of shipping companies now award the Chief Electro Technical Officer the equivalent rank to the ship''s master and Chief Engineer. These developments have resulted in the establishment of a Foundation Degree programme for Electro Technical Officers and the current development of full degree programmes. As such, a targeted textbook for students on the subject is required.As with all titles in the Reeds Marine Engineering Series, this book will be written in clear, accessible language, so as to be of use to all students and particularly those for whom English isn''t their first language. Technical drawings and diagrams will be used throughout and each chapter will be accompanied by example examination questions.

Exploring the full extent of threats to warships and thus the transformational change in naval architecture to incorporate modern stealth technologies in all of a naval platform's design parameters.

Key text covering the application and operation of instrumentation and control systems in marine engineering.
