Aims
The aim of the module is to provide students with the appropriate level of marine engineering knowledge and expertise required of an effective member of a marine engineering design team.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Develop Process & Instrumentation Diagrams
2.
Critically analyse sound pressure levels in an enclosed space
3.
Apply HAZOP to a complex scenario
4.
Discuss the concept of condition monitoring and associated techniques
5.
Evaluate the heat exchanger performance by NTU method
6.
Critically evaluate and hence demonstrate an understanding of the importance of shafting alignment by taking into the account variation in bearing offset while in service
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Space engineering - to become aware of issues surrounding the layout of a machinery space taking account of items such as pipe routes, tankage, proximity to associated plant, maintenance space, access and safety etc.
Prime mover performance - become aware of all factors that influence performance and output of prime movers, e.g. altitude, ambient conditions, back pressures (exhaust), noise suppression, emissions control etc.
Detailed development of P & ID's.
NTU method for evaluation of heat exchanger performance.
Condition monitoring techniques including vibration analyses.
HAZOP studies.
Shafting Alignment.
Additional Information:The module is designed to provide the student with an in-depth grounding of the typical practices and procedures that they will encounter should they pursue a career in the marine engineering design environment. The module will also provide a good grounding for those students pursuing careers in other industries such as power generation and process engineering.
