Water-Lubricated Journal Bearings 1st Edition

Capture the cutting edge of maritime and mechanical engineering with Water-Lubricated Journal Bearings, 1st Edition by Wojciech Litwin. This authoritative guide offers a clear, modern treatment of water-lubricated bearing theory, design, and real-world application—essential reading for engineers, naval architects, researchers, and advanced students.

Begin with solid fundamentals and quickly move into practical solutions: hydrodynamic and mixed lubrication theory, material selection, corrosion and biofouling mitigation, thermal behavior, and performance prediction. The book blends rigorous analysis with hands-on design examples drawn from ship propeller shafts, tidal and hydropower turbines, offshore platforms, and coastal infrastructure, making it invaluable for professionals in Europe, North America, Asia and global shipyards.

What sets this edition apart is its focus on sustainable, low-maintenance bearing systems that meet today’s environmental and operational demands. You’ll find clear design procedures, troubleshooting strategies, and performance charts that speed decision-making on the shop floor and in the boardroom. Whether you’re specifying bearings for a newbuild vessel, retrofitting an aging fleet, or researching low-friction marine systems, this volume translates complex theory into actionable engineering practice.

Compact yet comprehensive, Water-Lubricated Journal Bearings is written in a professional, accessible voice that bridges academia and industry. Add it to your technical library to improve design confidence, reduce lifecycle costs, and advance sustainable marine technology in ports and projects worldwide.
