Features: This book primarily introduces the composition, structure, working principles, performance, and development of ship (military and civilian) power system components. It includes ship internal combustion engines, gas turbines, steam boilers and steam turbines, nuclear power, combined power systems, shafting transmission, and special power systems. Combined power systems cover diesel-electric combined power systems, gas-steam combined power systems, and electric propulsion. Special power systems include closed-cycle thermal energy power (heat engines, diesel engines, gas turbines, steam turbines), fuel cells, heat-stored unconventional energy, and special engines using space transfer mechanisms. This book can serve as a fundamental textbook and teaching reference for undergraduate and graduate students in thermal energy power engineering studying ship power systems, as well as a reference for science and technology professionals working in the field of ship power systems.
