marine engineering is a branch of study that deals with the development, design, production, and maintenance of the equipment used at sea & onboard sea vessels eg. boats, ships, etc.
Crankshaft speed sensors, also called speed sensors, are used to measure crankshaft speed; determine the position of the crankshaft (or even the position of the engine cylinder). The rotational speed is calculated by the time period of the sensor signals, following the passage of the gear teeth. The signal of the rotational speed sensor is …

Exhaust gas temperature naturally is high, since it’s a product of combusted fuel. Depends on the engine design and metal strength, the manufacturer always specify limits or rang of the exhaust gas temperature outlet. The limitations could be ranging from 300 – 500 maximum while on load. Without load could be between 100 – 250 …
