    Date published

    1965

    Abstract

    Aspects of the initiation development and spread of gas explosion in ships are discussed including - the nature of explosive mixtures of fuel oil gas and air; spontaneous ignition slow combustion and spontaneous ignition temperatures; local ignition sources local sources of heat electrical discharge (condenser discharge circuit breaking) compression shock waves friction and impact explosion control and spread limitation flame arresters.

    Date published

    1977

    Abstract

    The application of aero-derived electronic-based automatic surveillance and propulsion control systems in Royal Navy ships is discussed and illustrated with reference to the centralised frequency analogue system developed for the type 42 COGOG destroyers. Details of console arrangements installation and operation are included. Next generation systems are expected to feature decentralised configurations and control of propulsion auxilliary machinery.

    Abstract

    Waste on-board ships includes sewage waste water bilge water food gases medical and hazardous items. The need for an integrated waste management strategy to deal with these items is examined. The application of standardised methodologies to the development and comparison of alternative strategies is considered. The components of any strategy must include collection segregation transfer separation treatment storage and disposal.
