Description
Since its first appearance in 1950, Pounder's Marine Diesel Engines
has served seagoing engineers, students of the Certificates of
Competency examinations and the marine engineering industry throughout
the world. Each new edition has noted the changes in engine design and
the influence of new technology and economic needs on the marine diesel
engine.
Now in its ninth edition, Pounder's retains the
directness of approach and attention to essential detail that
characterized its predecessors. There are new chapters on monitoring
control and HiMSEN engines as well as information on developments in
electronic-controlled fuel injection. It is fully updated to cover new
legislation including that on emissions and provides details on
enhancing overall efficiency and cutting CO2 emissions.
After experience as a seagoing engineer with the British
India Steam Navigation Company, Doug Woodyard held editorial positions
with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Institute of Marine
Engineers. He subsequently edited The Motor Ship journal for eight
years before becoming a freelance editor specializing in shipping,
shipbuilding and marine engineering. He is currently technical editor
of Marine Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery, a contributing editor to
Speed at Sea, Shipping World and Shipbuilder and a technical press
consultant to Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine.
