Aims
To provide a comprehensive introduction to Marine Engineering, Naval Architecture and Ship Construction. The module will concentrate on main and auxiliary propulsion systems, ship stability and construction features.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Apply design methodology utilising suitable software to analyse marine components and systems.
2.
Evaluate the application of different types of ship propulsion plant and identify the advantages and disadvantages of alternative propulsion systems.
3.
Predict ship heel, list, trim and powering resistance.
4.
Discuss and illustrate significant features of ship construction.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
Marine Systems and Components: Complete reverse engineering design process of marine auxiliary systems and components. Generate component images using appropriate software for illustration of system operating philosophy. Marine Engineering Knowledge: Types of main propulsion machinery and their application to different types of vessels. Auxiliary machinery including boilers, steering gear, refrigeration, emissions control, sewerage treatment. Auxiliary systems including sea water/freshwater cooling, fuel oil, lubricating oil, fire extinguishing and detection. System Design: Piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID's) of a typical marine fluid system, pump and valve specification. Ship Stability and Naval Architecture: Ship stability - heel, list and trim. Ship resistance and powering. Ship Construction: Discuss and identify different ship types and identify significant features. Water and weather tightness. Structural terminology for different framing systems, bulkheads and hatches. The function and structure of tanks; double bottoms, sides, wings and peaks.
