Effect of impingement distance on penetration and volume of post- impingement diesel spray
AuthorsK Ko
Date published2000
AbstractAs the DI diesel engine size has reduced so it has become more important to understand the wall impingement phenomena of fuel spray because of the short distance between the injection nozzle and the piston cavity. How diesel spray impinged on a flat wall is investigated. The effect of impingement distance on penetration and on the volume of post- impingement diesel sprays is examined. The experiment set up is presented and the experiment results are discussed.

Effects of over-consolidation on steady state line and liquefaction resistance of a marine sand
AuthorsY-C Chen
PublisherInternational Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers
AbstractTriaxial tests on remolded specimens of a marine silty sand were carried out. The influences of stress path over-consolidation ratio and fines content on the steady state lines were studied. Cyclic triaxial tests were performed to study the effects of mean confining pressure over-consolidation ratio and relative density on the liquefaction resistance. Relationships between state parameter and liquefaction resistance were established.

Facts and figures on fasteners
AuthorsDavis and Timmins Ltd
Shelf Location230b
AbstractThe opening section of this book deals with the 'in place' cost of fasteners, how they veiled costs of manpower may far outweigh the original cost of the fasteners and may be avoided by the use of a more sophisticated product. Technical data currently available on ISO metric fasteners has been summarised in a section on its own. Following that is fundamental technical data on some of the fasteners in common use. There is also a stock list.

Failure analysis on the piston head fracture of high power low speed marine diesel engine
AuthorsZhong Shenggen ; Wu Muhua
Date published2004
Abstractthe piston head is a key part of the combustion chamber in diesel engines. It is closely related to the ship safety on voyage. The fracture of the piston head is not only connected to the economic compensation but also to the reputation of the engine manufacturer. Based on the analysis report and the samples from the engine licensor company this paper describes the procedures and results of the failure analysis on the piston head fracture and proposes that the design of the welding structure of the piston head should be further improved.

Human handling characteristics on ship's motion in restricted condition
AuthorsS Senda ; H Kobayashi ; A Ishibashil
Date published2001
AbstractHuman handling characteristics are investigated together with their influence on a ship's motion in restricted conditions. Firstly human control of the steering rudder is examined. Next experiments are explained using a ship's manoeuvring simulator to obtain the human characteristics of control on the steering rudder and propeller revolution. After this the control laws on the deceleration of a ship's speed are shown. Finally the accuracy of control laws and human characteristics are verified by comparing the results of numerical simulation applied proposed human control laws with one of the simulator experiments.

Influence of boundary layer and wake on free surface flow around a ship model
AuthorsM Ikehata ; Y Tahara
Date published1988
AbstractThe Rankine source method has been combined with an integral method for boundary layer and wake to investigate the influence of boundary layer and wake on the free surface flow around a ship model. The head loss due to viscosity has been taken into account in the equation of the boundary condition on the free surface. The computed results for pressure distributions on the hull surface wave profiles along the hull side pressure frictional and total resistance have been shown in comparison with measurements.

Integrated coastal zone management for coping with extreme events on the Orissa coast
AuthorsR B Singh
Date published2002
AbstractThe cyclone disaster management and mitigation measures in India include three phases: pre-cyclone mitigaton cyclone occurrence period and post-cyclone response. An international consortium has been launched to reduce the massive loss of life and property due to cyclones in India and other parts of the world. After some introductory information a look is taken at the impact of the Orissa super cyclone on the coastal landscape on temporal changes in vegetation cover on habitat agriculture pastures and destruction after the cyclone. This is followed by consideration of long term mitigation and the need for integrated coastal management.

Nitrogen inert gas systems based on membrane technology
AuthorsI Iversen
Date published2000
AbstractNitrogen gas inert systems based on membrane technology are described. The technology has been available since the early 1980's and was initially introduced for marine use to replace the high pressure nitrogen cylinders used on board chemical tankers for maintaining cargo padding during voyages. Today Membrane Nitrogen Inert Gas Systems are increasingly replacing the traditional fuel-fired type of inert gas systems on all tankers where clean and dry gas is required for maintaining the quality of the cargo as well as for protecting the ship from flammable conditions in the cargo area.
