This book willcover the topic of instrumentation and control systems and its application to marine engineering for professional trainees studying Merchant Navy Marine Engineering Certificates of Competency(CoC) as well as Electrical/Marine Engineering undergraduate students.
Providing generic technical and practical descriptions of the operation of instrumentation and control devices and systems, it will also contain mathematic analysis where appropriate.The revised version will take into account the need of these students, recognising recent changes to the Merchant Navy syllabus and current pathways to a sea-going engineering career, including National diplomas, Higher National Diploma and degree courses.
The book addresses this subject area which is the domain of Instrumentation Engineers/Technicians as well as Control Engineers, and which is an area of established processes and protocols, but also of extensive developing technology.
Written with the marine engineer in mind, particularly those studying Engineering Knowledge, the content ranges from simple measurement devices, through signal conditioning and digitisation to highly sophisticated automated control and instrumentation systems.
The new edition will provide worked examples and test exam questions, corresponding to current Merchant Navy Qualifications.Other revisions will include new material on electrical equipment in hazardous areas and relevant types of protection, the new generation of Liquified Natural Gas carriers, SMART sensors...
