Program Overview

Introduction to Advanced Marine Thermodynamics Unit

The Advanced Marine Thermodynamics unit, coded as JNE312, is a comprehensive course designed to provide students with 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.
