The publication contains, in a very condensed form, huge amount of very valuable technical information on selected types of the centrifugal pumps and positive displacement pumps for given applications, creating the associated paperwork, choosing the best manufacturers of the equipment, and checking the correctness of the vendor data. The readers will find a complete description of those types of pumps together with the terns and technical parameters that are used in pump applications.

In his publication the author, Uno Wahren, outlines all technical data usually required by the engineers, clients and buyers to obtain a correct and comprehensive quote. The book may definitely be treated as a basic yet complete guide to pumps providing the coverage of all technical aspects from specification to the installation and operation. The chapters of the book cover the parameters, calculations, data for specifying pumps, types of pump and their specifications, pump curves, vibration, shaft sealing, viscosity effect, bearings, metallurgy maters, pump drivers, gears and couplings, etc.

The present eighth release of the world famous publication has retained the directness of the approach applied by the author, Doog Woodyard, and careful attention paid to the essential detail characterizing the predecessors. There have been some new chapters added covering the monitoring control systems plus the governor systems; in this new release of the book the gas turbines have also been addressed together with the most important and relevant safety aspects of the diesel engine operation and maintenance.

It also touches some of the important latest developments, for example the latest diesel-electric liquid natural gas carriers. The high quality text part of the book is supplemented with the numerous labeled images and figures included for better understanding. The chapters of the book provide all readers with the up-to-date technical details and this book will be much appreciated by the people who are studying for the COC, i.e. certificates of competency.

According to the reviews of the customers all over the world, this volume shall be treated as the invaluable reference source for any person with the interest in marine engineering, and involved in design, construction, pre-installation and post-installation testing, maintenance and repair of the diesel engines.

Here is a truly comprehensive publication providing both piping designers and engineers with an excellent quick reference guidance to the piping-related calculations as well as standards and technical codes that would apply to the piping systems. This volume combines in one handy book the multitude of numerous piping elements like pipes themselves, flanges, valves, supporting arrangements, bolts, flex and expansion joints making up those complex piping systems.

The author of the book has used so many calculations and practical examples based on his own experience of more than forty years as both the instructor and professional piping engineer. Each of the practical examples included by the author in this volume is demonstrating how different piping-related codes and standards can be applied correctly and incorrectly, so that the readers could see the difference and possible consequences of wrong application. Moreover, apart from providing the advice on the intent of the above mentioned standards and codes, this volume is also intended to provide some valuable guidance on compliance with the requirements listed therein.

The reader will get quite clear understanding of the possible failures occurring to the piping systems and know what the code or standard requires the piping designers, makers, fabricators, suppliers, erectors, examiners, inspectors, and owners to do to prevent the failures...

This old and classic publication on marine engineering has been exclusively prepared and released with the intention of its author, F. G. Marcos, to assist the professional marine engineers who are dealing with the technical review of various relevant subject in the course of the preparation for the government licensure exam that is regularly arranged and conducted by the PRC, standing for the Professional Regulation Commission.

In fact, this volume is a good compilation of various technical solutions to the typical problems that have already been encountered by the people sitting for the recent examinations. In addition, the publication also includes some exercise questions plus an outline to examinees, prepared and aimed to serve as a sort of an instant refresher on the most fundamental technical concepts and principles, in full accordance with the declared scope of the examination usually provided by the Board of Examiners.
