Reeds Vol 9: Steam Engineering Knowledge for Marine Engineers

The essential textbook for all marine engineers preparing for exams on steam engineering.

Designed as a companion to Reeds Vol 8: General Engineering Knowledge for Marine Engineers, this indispensable textbook covers everything those studying for merchant navy marine engineering Certificates of Competency need to know on the subject of steam engineering.

Now thoroughly updated for the first time since 2003, this edition reflects all developments in the field of steam engineering; a topic that is still very much relevant as part of the syllabus for officers. This includes changing content on fuel sources, gas and steam systems and gas turbines.

Accessibly written and clearly illustrated with technical drawings, the book also includes test examples for student self-assessment, also reviewed and updated for this new edition.
