Download or read book Technology and Science for the Ships of the Future written by A. Marinò and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2018-06-22 with total page 1078 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1974, a scientific conference covering marine automation group and large vessels issues was organized under the patronage of the Technical Naval Studies Centre (CETENA) and the Italian National Research Council (CNR). A later collaboration with the Marine Technical Association (ATENA) led to the renaming of the conference as NAV, extending the topics covered to the technical field previously covered by ATENA national conferences. The NAV conference is now held every 3 years, and attracts specialists from all over the world. This book presents the proceedings of NAV 2018, held in Trieste, Italy, in June 2018. The book contains 70 scientific papers, 35 technical papers and 16 reviews, and subjects covered include: comfort on board; conceptual and practical ship design; deep sea mining and marine robotics; protection of the environment; renewable marine energy; design and engineering of offshore vessels; digitalization, unmanned vehicles and cyber security; yacht and pleasure craft design and inland waterway vessels. With its comprehensive coverage of scientific and technical maritime issues, the book will be of interest to all those involved in this important industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future national security environment will present the naval forces with operational challenges that can best be met through the development of military capabilities that effectively leverage rapidly advancing technologies in many areas. The panel envisions a world where the naval forces will perform missions in the future similar to those they have historically undertaken. These missions will continue to include sea control, deterrence, power projection, sea lift, and so on. The missions will be accomplished through the use of platforms (ships, submarines, aircraft, and spacecraft), weapons (guns, missiles, bombs, torpedoes, and information), manpower, materiel, tactics, and processes (acquisition, logistics, and so on.). Accordingly, the Panel on Technology attempted to identify those technologies that will be of greatest importance to the future operations of the naval forces and to project trends in their development out to the year 2035. The primary objective of the panel was to determine which are the most critical technologies for the Department of the Navy to pursue to ensure U.S. dominance in future naval operations and to determine the future trends in these technologies and their impact on Navy and Marine Corps superiority. A vision of future naval operations ensued from this effort. These technologies form the base from which products, platforms, weapons, and capabilities are built. By combining multiple technologies with their future attributes, new systems and subsystems can be envisioned. Technology for the United States Navy and Marine Corps, 2000-2035 Becoming a 21st-Century Force: Volume 2: Technology indentifies those technologies that are unique to the naval forces and whose development the Department of the Navy clearly must fund, as well as commercially dominated technologies that the panel believes the Navy and Marine Corps must learn to adapt as quickly as possible to naval applications. Since the development of many of the critical technologies is becoming global in nature, some consideration is given to foreign capabilities and trends as a way to assess potential adversaries' capabilities. Finally, the panel assessed the current state of the science and technology (S&T) establishment and processes within the Department of the Navy and makes recommendations that would improve the efficiency and effectiveness of this vital area. The panel's findings and recommendations are presented in this report.

The history of the introduction of vessels propelled hy steam power is too extensive a subject to be entered into in much detail in this book, a slight sketch only will be given which the author thinks may prove interesting to the reader. In 1802 W. Symington constructed a steamboat for use on canals; it had a paddle-wheel at the stern and was driven by a double-acting horizontal engine, the cylinder being 22 inches diameter x 48 inches stroke; it was able to tow two vessels of 70 tons each, at the rate of about 20 miles in six hours. The vessel was only in use a short time, as it was feared the canal banks would be destroyed by the wash of the water. In 1807 Robert Fulton (in America), after having seen Symington's boat in this country, built a vessel and put an engine into her made by J. Watt & Co., of Birmingham; the cylinder was 24 inches diameter x 48 inches stroke; she attained a speed of 150 miles in thirty-two hours. The vessel was 133 feet long x 18 feet wide x 9 feet deep at the hold. In 1812 the steamer " Comet" was built by J. and C. Wood at Glasgow for Henry Bell; she was 40 feet long x 10 feet 6 inches beam, and 25 tons burden. The boat was driven by a table vertical condensing engine of about 4 horse-power; she was used on the Clyde and attained a speed of five miles per hour. Several boats were subsequently put on the Clyde; but on the Thames, owing to the opposition of the watermen, no steamboat was used until 1815, when the " Margery" ran between London and Gravesend. This was the first steamer for passenger service seen upon the Thames; she was built at Glasgow by the firm named above; the burden was 70 tons; she was fitted with one engine of 14 horse-power nominal. Between the years 1815...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Electric Propulsion of Ships Much attention is now being given to propositions relating to the electric propulsion of ships. A study of the circumstances reveals a remarkable accordance of means and requirements. The case may be briefly outlined as follow's: - The double transformation of energy in the form of work into energy in the form of electricity and again from electricity into work, may often, when the operations are on a large scale, be effected at an overall efficiency of 90 per cent, and even higher. In other words, at the cost of a loss of 10 per cent, in energy and of the initial and maintenance cost of the electrical machinery, engineers can interpose an electric drive between the prime mover and the machinery to be driven. The object of interposing an electric drive is to obtain advantages of flexibility which will permit of securing greater efficiency both in the prime mover and in the driven machinery, which, in the case of ship propulsion, is the propeller. Further great advantages relate to the superior means of control rendered available with electric drive. In the case of ship propulsion, the prime mover has, until recently, almost always been a reciprocating engine. But during the last ten years, many ships have been fitted with steam turbines. As applied to ship propulsion, the steam turbine has not met with any approach to the almost unqualified success which has attended its use on land. This is chiefly because, in applying the steam turbine to ship propulsion, it has been necessary to adopt speeds several times lower than have been customary with land turbines. This has been necessary owing to the well-known circumstance that the efficiency attainable with the screw propeller is lower (for a given power) the higher the speed of revolutions. It was a realization of this circumstance, more than any other consideration, which first led to serious propositions for the electrical driving of large ships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Engines and Power Generators, Vol. 5: A Practical Work on Prime Movers and the Transmission of Power Steam, Electric, Water, and Hot Air This Volume deals with marine engines, and turbines for motor ships and motor boats. At present shipbuilders have not arrived at the use of internal combustion engines beyond small oil or petrol engines for small craft, and that mostly for pleasure and sporting purposes. The steam turbine remains the most modern type of marine engine of any considerable power, and for high speeds. The combined reciprocating and turbine steam engine may prove suitable for smaller powers and lower speed vessels carrying cargo, especially in conjunction with steam superheaters. And a similar combination of an internal combustion engine with cylinders and pistons and a turbine utilising the exhaust gases has been proposed, and described; it promises well for marine propulsion. In fact, marine engineering is at present in a transitory state, leading to the internal combustion of the fuel and the abolition of steam and its generators.
