Download or read book Naval Mechanical Engineering written by Tanya D. Zapata and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-08-25 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naval Mechanical Engineering: Gas Turbine Propulsion, Auxiliary, and Engineering Support Systems is a technical publication for professional engineers to assist in understanding various ships auxiliary systems. You will learn how they are applied to the overall propulsion plant and how the pumps and valves are used in the systems. Since the auxiliary systems vary between ship types, you will learn the systems in general terms. The maintenance and upkeep of the auxiliary systems are extremely important since, without them, the main engines would not be able to operate. You will be presented with some of the various factors that affect gas turbine performance, procedures for engine changeout, and power train inspection. In conclusion, you will learn a few of the maintenance, operating problems, and repair of pneumatic systems, low-pressure air compressors (LPAC), hydraulic systems, pumps, valves, heat exchangers, and purifiers. Proper maintenance or repair work consists of problem diagnosis, disassembly, measurements, corrections of problems, and reassembly. Use of proper tools, knowledge of the construction of equipment, proper work site management, and cleanliness are keys to successful maintenance and repair work.

Download or read book Marine Propulsion Simulation written by Michele Martelli and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The propulsion system behaviour is a key aspect for the overall dynamics of a ship. However, despite its great importance, numerical methodologies for detailed investigations on marine propulsion dynamics are not yet widely covered in scientific literature. This book presents the main steps for the development of a multi-physic simulation platform, able to represent the motions of a twin screw ship in six degrees of freedom, taking into account the whole propulsion system and automation effects. A number of mathematical sub-models had been developed and calibrated by a set of experimental tests, in model and full scale. Finally, the sea trials campaign of a ship is used to validate and tune the developed simulator. The proposed simulation methodology can be used in the ship preliminary design phase, in order to plan and test the propulsion system and automation. Further applications can include the design optimization and crew training.

Download or read book An Evaluation of Marine Propulsion Engines for Several Navy Ships written by and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design of naval ships is a complex and iterative process. The propulsion system is selected early in the design cycle and it has significant impact on the ship design. A complete understanding the marine propulsion engine alternatives is necessary to facilitate the design. Five types of marine propulsion engines have been examined and compared. They include an LM-2500 marine gas turbine, an Intercooled Recuperative (ICR) marine gas turbine, a series of Colt-Pielstick PC4.2V medium speed diesels, a series of Colt-Pielstick PC2.6V medium speed diesels, and an Allison 571-KF marine gas turbine module power pak. To facilitate an integrated propulsion systems study, an engine's computer model has been written that calculates the engine weight, volume, fuel consumption, and acquisition cost. Given user input for propulsor and transmission performance, the engine code will also calculate the required endurance fuel load in accordance with Navy standards. The Engine's computer code allows the user to employ different engine types for cruise and boost operating regimes. The model ensures that the engines are operated within their horsepower and RPM ratings and splits the propulsion load evenly when multiple engines are in use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shipboard Propulsion, Power Electronics, and Ocean Energy fills the need for a comprehensive book that covers modern shipboard propulsion and the power electronics and ocean energy technologies that drive it. With a breadth and depth not found in other books, it examines the power electronics systems for ship propulsion and for extracting ocean energy, which are mirror images of each other. Comprised of sixteen chapters, the book is divided into four parts: Power Electronics and Motor Drives explains basic power electronics converters and variable-frequency drives, cooling methods, and quality of power Electric Propulsion Technologies focuses on the electric propulsion of ships using recently developed permanent magnet and superconducting motors, as well as hybrid propulsion using fuel cell, photovoltaic, and wind power Renewable Ocean Energy Technologies explores renewable ocean energy from waves, marine currents, and offshore wind farms System Integration Aspects discusses two aspects—energy storage and system reliability—that are essential for any large-scale power system This timely book evolved from the author’s 30 years of work experience at General Electric, Lockheed Martin, and Westinghouse Electric and 15 years of teaching at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. As a textbook, it is ideal for an elective course at marine and naval academies with engineering programs. It is also a valuable reference for commercial and military shipbuilders, port operators, renewable ocean energy developers, classification societies, machinery and equipment manufacturers, researchers, and others interested in modern shipboard power and propulsion systems.
