Synopsis
Excerpt from Marine Engineering
The Fourth Edition was published a few weeks before the outbreak of the Great War, and owing to active service it was impossible to start on this revision before the middle of 1919. The enormous progress in Marine Engineering during the last five years has necessitated the entire rewriting of many chapters and a considerable revision of the remainder. The Opportunity has been taken to cut out as much obsolete or Obsolescent matter as possible to make room for a fuller consideration of mercantile practice, particularly relating to geared turbines and their auxiliaries. The general arrangement of the book is based on the path of the steam from its generation to its condensation and return to the boiler as feed water. The section on Turbines has been enlarged and divided into three chapters which now follow the section on the Reciprocating Engine. The latest systems of Oil Fuel Firing are illustrated and described. The section on Internal Combustion Engines has been enlarged, and the subject, including submarine and mercantile engines, is treated as fully as the near future is likely to demand. The book is intended to cover the syllabus of a sound marine engineering course for all those who are interested in the subject, and when it is considered that at least one volume could be written on the matter treated in each chapter, making at least thirty-eight volumes, it may be appreciated that the compilation of a single volume of this nature is no small task.
