Report

<br />Discuss marine fuels, contamination, combustion, emissions, emission control and regulations. Comment on engine exhaust emissions and state how engines may be adjusted to minimise emissions of NOx, SOx, CO and HC. Analysis of power transmission systems including: engine balancing, gearing, clutches, shafting systems, shaft vibrations, engine balancing, different types of propellers, different types of gear transmission systems, clutches and couplings. Analyse the performance of diesel engines, steam and gas turbines propulsion plants. Determine optimum power transmission for particular installations and select a propulsion system for different types of ships. Estimate main dimensions, tonnages and design coefficients for a vessel. Conduct model testing, ship trial and manoeuvrability. Estimate ship resistance and powering requirements including the effects of surface roughness and protection. Study matching of propeller, propulsion plant and hull. Evaluate design considerations of rudders, propellers, manoeuvring mechanisms and effects on stability. Analyse steering gear and engine speed control systems. Analyse marine hazards and protection.<br />

Marine Design and Propulsion

Predict ship performance and behaviour of ships based on model testing data and analytical techniques.

Analyse ship surface roughness and marine hazards as well as automatic control systems.

Analyse power transmission systems in terms of engine emissions, engine balancing, gear transmission and coupling, and vibration.

Select marine plants in terms of matching of engine and propeller, propeller efficiency and economic analysis.
