This book covers 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.
The book provides a firm foundation in the principals of thermodynamics, decoding the fundamental science and physics applied to marine technology, covering examples of modern machines and practice to reflect current legislation and syllabi.
The new edition will provide worked examples and test exam questions, corresponding to current Merchant Navy Qualifications as well as university-style examinations. Where relevant, reference will be made to self-study computer exercises for undertaking multiple calculations in common software, e.g. MS Excel.
This key textbook takes into account the varying needs of marine students, recognising 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.
