BK-448 Practical Marine Engineering

This book deals with the basic elements which make up a marine steam power plant. In addition to marine plant operating personnel, shore side stationary and supervisory engineers will find this book of great value as a reference; students enrolled in technical courses in Mechanical and Marine Engineering will welcome it as a supplement to their theoretical texts; designers of marine power plants and equipment may well be guided by the operating techniques discussed.

Practical Marine Engineering is the outgrowth of many lectures given to applicants for the Merchant Marine Engineering-Officer licenses. Each chapter covers a particular phase of the required material and is, in itself, a complete study unit. Many of the questions at the end of each chapter are so fundamental in nature that they repeatedly appear on the U.S. Coast Guard examinations for Marine Engineers and on the Civil Service Examinations for Stationary Engineers.
