Marine Propellers and Propulsion, Fourth Edition offers comprehensive, cutting edge coverage to equip marine engineers, naval architects or anyone involved in propulsion and hydrodynamics with essential job knowledge. Propulsion technology is a complex, multidisciplinary topic with design, construction, operational and research implications. Drawing on experience from a long and varied career in consultancy, research, design and technical investigation, John Carlton examines hydrodynamic theory, materials and mechanical considerations, and design, operation and performance. Connecting essential theory to practical problems in design, analysis and operational efficiency, the book is an invaluable resource, packed with hard-won insights, detailed specifications and data. Features comprehensive coverage of marine propellers, fully updated and revised, with new chapters on propulsion in ice and high speed propellersIncludes enhanced content on full-scale trials, propeller materials, propeller blade vibration, operational problems and much moreSynthesizes otherwise disparate material on the theory and practice of propulsion technology from the past 40 years' development, including the latest developments in improving efficiencyWritten by a leading expert on propeller technology, essential for students, marine engineers and naval architects involved in propulsion and hydrodynamics INDICE: 1.
