Advanced Marine Thermodynamics unit (JNE312)

Introduction

Thermodynamics is an important area within the engineering discipline with ¿extensive ¿applications in marine auxiliaries and machinery. The purpose of this unit ¿is to provide the ¿necessary knowledge and skills to understand the design ¿concepts and apply ¿thermodynamic principles in the safe operation of main and ¿auxiliary equipment. This unit ¿develops skills in managing the efficient operation of ¿such plants and machinery at the ¿management level of marine engineers.¿ The unit focuses on both thermodynamic problems and solving operational theory ¿relevant ¿to equipment for shipboard use. A student completing this unit will be able ¿to apply the ¿knowledge gained and understand the safe and economical operation ¿and management ¿of marine machinery.¿

This unit meets the requirements for knowledge, understanding and proficiency set ¿out by ¿the current Maritime Training Package, the STCW 2010 (Manila ¿Amendments), and Table ¿A-AIII/2 of the STCW Code.¿
