Engineers are required on board ships to keep them running smoothly across the seven seas. Read this article to learn about various aspects of marine engineers such as their entry qualifications, rank hierarchy and so forth
Indicator diagrams are indicative of the power generated within engines and are a useful tool for marine engineers to know how well their engines are performing. Learn more about them inside.
Indicator Diagrams arent like most other gauge readings where you plug in the device and there you go. Here you need a lot of factors to be kept in mind and proper care on the part of the user for getting a true indication of the developed power
Otto, Diesel and Dual cycles have different characteristics and here is a comparison of these three cycles keeping the compression ratio and heat addition constant, while varying other parameters. Just find out who is the winner?

Otto, Diesel and Dual cycles have different characteristics and here is a comparison of these three cycles keeping the peak temperature, peak pressure and heat rejection constant, while varying other parameters. Just find out who is the winner?
Rudolf Diesel invented the diesel engine but the marine engineers slog hard to keep it running on board ships. Just learn about the basics of diesel marine engines in this article.
Theoretical cycles are very useful in analysis of performance of internal combustion engines though the real engines may not strictly follow these cycles. Otto cycle is one such cycle. Read on to find out about the working principles.
