Textbook for use in EM 300: Principles of naval engineering: propulsion and auxiliary systems, a core course at The United States Naval Academy.
Principles of Naval Engineering 1992 Edition provides an introduction to the theory and design of engineering machinery and equipment aboard ship. Primary emphasis is placed on helping the student acquire an overall view of shipboard engineering plants and an understanding of basic theoretical considerations that underlie the design of machinery and equipment.
This second edition of the basic textbook in shipboard engineering presents the latest information on steam, gas turbine, and nuclear propulsion, as well as auxiliary systems, ship stability, and damage control. New to this edition is a section on engineering documentation.
Fundamentals of shipboard machinery, equipment, and engineering plants are presented in this text prepared for engineering officers. A general description is included of the development of naval ships, ship design and construction, stability and buoyancy, and damage and casualty control. Engineering theories are explained on the background of ship propulsion and steering, lubrication systems, measuring devices, thermodynamics, and energy exchanges. Conventional steam turbine propulsion plants are presented in such units as machinery arrangement, plant layout, piping systems, propulsion boilers and their fittings and controls, steam turbines, and heat transfer apparatus in condensate and feed systems. General principles of diesel, gasoline, and gas turbine engines are also provided. Moreover, nuclear power plants are analyzed in terms of the fission process, reactor control, and naval nuclear power plant. Auxiliary equipment is also described. The text is concluded by a survey of newly developed hull forms, propulsion and steering devices, direct energy conversion systems, combined power plants, central operations systems, and fuel conversion programs. Illustrations for explanation purposes are also given.
