Marine Power Plant/Судовая энергетическая установка

Книга на английском языке
The book “Marine Power Plant” provides an insight of the history and development of the whole variety of power plants, the current state of the marine power engineering and its achievements.
For the first time ever in the educational literature, the book presents a detailed retrospective of the appearance and establishment of the main types of heat engines used on ships, ranging from steam engines to gas turbine engines and nuclear power plants.
The issues of energy conversion and transfer in marine power plants are discussed in detail, since they lay the basis for determining the plants’ energy efficiency.
When considering characteristics of the fuels employed in marine power plants, a lot of attention is paid to alternative fuels, which have found an extensive application on ships over the last few years.
There is also an elaborate analysis of the sources of air pollution during the operation of marine power plants with heat engines of various types.
The greatest attention has been given to diesel marine power plants, which entirely corresponds to the place they occupy on ships as compared to the plants with other types of heat engines. The analysis of thermal and structural diagrams of diesel power plants reveals the sheer variety of ways to use the products of engine building in marine power engineering. The detailed description of the issues of labeling marine diesels of the world’s leading manufacturers makes it possible to be conversant in their types, dimensions, special features, and structures.
The atlas of major devices, components, assemblies, and systems of marine diesel engines is based on the design of modern diesel units; considerable attention is paid to the engines with an electronic control system.
On top of that, there are presented the main methods and patterns for reducing the harmful emissions released by diesel plants into the atmosphere. Of undoubted interest is the example of placing the equipment of a diesel power plant in the modern ship's engine room.
The book also shows the principal and thermal schemes of marine steam turbine units with account to their characteristics and general arrangement of their elements.
