Product Description
Product Description
Although the propeller lies submerged out of sight, it is a complex component in both the hydrodynamic and structural sense. "Marine Propellers and Propulsion" fulfils the need for a comprehensive and cutting edge volume that brings together a great range of knowledge on propulsion technology, a multi-disciplinary and international subject. The book comprises three main sections covering hydrodynamics; materials and mechanical considerations; and design, operation and performance. The discussion relates theory to practical problems of design, analysis and operational economy, and is supported by extensive design information, operational detail and tabulated data. Fully updated and revised to cover the latest advances in the field, the new edition now also includes four new chapters on azimuthing and podded propulsors, propeller-rudder interaction, high-speed propellers, and propeller-ice interaction.It is the most complete book available on marine propellers, fully updated and revised, with four new chapters on azimuthing and podded propulsors, propeller-rudder interaction, high-speed propellers, and propeller-ice interaction. A valuable reference for marine engineers and naval architects gathering together the subject of propulsion technology, in both theory and practice, over the last forty years, it is written by a leading expert on propeller technology, essential for students of propulsion and hydrodynamics, complete with online worked examples.

A comprehensive, informative text that covers the subject to a very useful engineering depth while supplying a fulsome bibliography of other more detailed books and papers that enable greater detail to be accessed when necessary. This book should find a place on the reference shelf of anyone involved in designing or operating marine propulsion systems.
Easily accessible for a quick reminder or update on a particular theory or feature, it also contains sufficient detail to enable real world solutions to be grasped. Very helpful for undergraduate, postgraduate and chartered engineer alike.

Format:Hardcover
Firstly i must relate you about its characteristics that the most important one is how lage knowledge it has. The language, be used in writing the book, is so hard to understand easily for a person who doesn't know english very well. That's why you will be urged in understanding what something is about when you use thia book.
