Marine Thermodynamics JNE239
Introduction
This unit provides students with an understanding of the principles of thermodynamics relating to marine power plant and associated structures and systems required by the Engineering Watchkeeper involved in operating such a plant. This unit lays the foundation for Marine Engineers at operational level to comprehend principles of Applied Mechanics and Heat that will enable them to apply and manage these functions at Marine Engineer Class 2 and 1 level.
This unit meets the requirements of knowledge, understanding and proficiency set out by the Maritime Training Package TDM50207, the STCW 2010 (Manila Amendments) and Table A-III/1 of the STCW code.

Learning Outcomes
- Apply knowledge of basic thermodynamic system properties and thermodynamic ¿¿cycles to thermodynamic systems in marine use.¿
- Demonstrate knowledge of various thermodynamic processes/cycles by relating ¿them to ¿marine equipment and types of machinery like heat exchangers, air ¿compressors, and steam ¿systems, combustion processes in internal combustion ¿engines, refrigeration, and air ¿conditioning systems.¿
- Solve thermodynamic set problems by using tools such as graphs, charts, tables, ¿and ¿formulae in the above-mentioned systems.¿
- Analyse thermodynamic system performance as applied to marine systems to ¿¿make decisions on effective management of such systems.¿
