The authors of this classic work have declared several purposes but the main and major was to provide all interested readers, and particularly students/teachers with enough comprehensive and practically useful compilation of different progressive problems which commonly embody the fundamental principles and also the real examples directly related to the practical mechanical drawing.

All of those problems have been offered in the form of some specification sheets and, in addition to that, a lay-out sheet from which the students are supposed to build the completed drawing. The referenced specification sheets, in turn, are providing a statement of the problem; they are, in most cases, supplemented with some text matter that bear upon and emphasize the things to be taught in the problems, or providing some relevant technical information. The proper utilization of the proposed specifications plus the reference sheets is expected to facilitate the moving towards the creation of the necessary level of self-reliance and the personal efforts of the students.

All of the problems chosen for inclusion into this publication have been fully supplemented and such approach has made the content of this volume very flexible. The reference sheets contained in the book are made use throughout all docs and will definitely be among the valuable features of this title.

The broad area of the wave structure interaction is considered one of the top important branches of fluid mechanics deservedly assumed to be of special significance because of the numerous applications in the fields of marine technology as well as arctic engineering.

The main objective of the present monograph is to provide readers with a modern account of different mathematical techniques related to the problems of wave structure interactions and dealing with the initial and boundary value problems that are commonly associated with the Laplace equation which, in turn, satisfies the boundary conditions of the higher order.

The author has made all efforts to present the content in a very pedagogical and easy-to-follow manner so that the readers can appreciate the tools discussed in the monograph and properly apply these tools to solve their problems in the relating branches.

Certain exercises are there at the end of each chapter; but note that some of those exercises are not attempted for solution so far. The main material of the book has been arranged in seven big chapters on the basis of the application of different mat techniques as physical problems discussed. A very useful one for all persons with the interest in the application of mathematics to engineering.

This ultimate goal of the authors of the present training manual was to provide the readers with the knowledge about how they should measure and calculate petroleum cargoes, how they should use the tools and instruments used on board their ships, and how they should understand and value the results obtained from instruments used on board. Finally, we would like to suggest some good and practical routines to be used on board your ship when measuring cargo.

Nowadays, huge part of the world's oil reserves lies somewhere in and around the Persian Gulf. Those reserves are significant and will definitely last for a very long time. Huge amounts of crude oil will be produced and then transported by vessels from the oil producers to the industries. Usually, the oil companies seldom own their own tanker fleets. However, the petroleum products still have to be shipped and oil tankers will for sure continue to work on the high seas though today they are not actually run the traditional way and they are no more owned by the traditional owners.

Most of the vessels are owned by shipping companies and their crews are usually employed by other, managing (in a restricted or "total" way), companies. Marine transportation of oil is a very complicated task...
