The study course provides theoretical knowledge of fluid properties: Pascal's law, mechanical and physical properties of fluids, fluid flow regimes and modes of motion, Bernoulli and Euler equations.
The study course covers ship auxiliary mechanisms and systems: pumps (types, principle of operation, advantages and disadvantages), ship systems (oil, fuel, cooling, compressed air, ventilation, air-conditioning, anti-suction, fire-fighting, ballast), steering gear, deck machinery, fuel and oil purification, water sweetening equipment, air compressors, waste incineration plant, biological treatment plant, sewage treatment plant, variable pitch propeller and propeller pitch change mechanism, hydraulic lines for ship machinery, tanker special systems and ship refrigeration equipment.
The study course covers the application, classification, possible construction types and characteristic parameters of these machinery and system components, as well as an analysis of possible defects.
The study course complies with STCW Code Standards A-III/1 and A-III/2 and includes the relevant sections of IMO Module Courses 7.02 and 7.04.
Part-time extramural studies are organized according to an individually developed study plan.
