Two best books for marine engineers to learn about marine diesel engines and auxiliary machineries
The best books for marine engineers to get sufficient knowledge on Maine engines and marine auxiliary machinery. I personally recommend these books for the guys who are preparing for the marine engineer officer class 2 & class 4 examinations. These books very well explained and easy to understand the concepts. I strongly suggest studying in books rather than pdfs, when you study in pdfs or soft copies the concentration rate is will be lower when compared to books.
For marine diesel engines, I would recommend Marine diesel engines by Deven Aranha and for auxiliary machines, I would recommend Marine Auxiliary machinery by HD McGeorge.
You can find these books easily on amazon, Here I will provide the link so that you can buy them directly by clicking.
some brief description of these two books :
