VINTAGESTAN BOOKS
Title: Ships and their Propulsion Systems. Developments in Power Transmission
Summary: Ship propulsion systems have evolved significantly to improve efficiency, reliability, and environmental performance. Central to these advances are developments in power transmission, which transfer energy from prime movers (engines or motors) to propellers or thrusters. The book provides a foundational overview of ship propulsion, focusing on how ships generate thrust, the machinery involved, and how propulsion choices relate to ship type, efficiency, and operating conditions.
