Marine Steam Power Plant

Description

A marine steam engine is a steam engine that is used to power a ship or boat. The first commercially successful steam-powered ships were introduced in the early 19th century. Marine steam power plants use steam to generate mechanical energy to propel ships and to generate electricity. The marine steam power plant consists of a boiler, steam turbine, condenser, and other associated components. This book covers the fundamentals of marine steam power plants, including boiler design and operation, steam turbine design and operation, and the maintenance of marine steam power plants. It is an excellent resource for students and professionals in the fields of marine engineering and mechanical engineering.
