“Marine Auxiliary Machinery and Systems” Book Review: This book contains comprehensive coverage of the principles and fundamentals of the theory, design, and operation of different groups of auxiliary machinery. Each of the groups is discussed in three parts- marine fluid-pressure mechanisms, specialized auxiliary machinery, and shipboard systems. The content is explained with the help of pictures and diagrams. The readers get to know how to properly analyze new designs and master their operation. The first part of the book deals with reciprocating, rotary, centrifugal, propeller and jet pumps. The second part covers specialized auxiliary machinery. The last part contains detailed information on shipboard systems and the special systems of ice-breakers and tankers. The book will benefit students working on practical aspects of auxiliary machinery and engineers working in the subject.
