This study presents a design and experimental analysis of an exhaust gas-driven absorption refrigeration system for the purpose of air conditioning by using the exhaust heat of a diesel engine, which is installed in the Naval Academy Mechanics Laboratory. The diesel engine is loaded with a dynamometer, and water and ammonia are used as an absorbent and refrigerant, respectively. At various diesel engine loads, cooling capacity and coefficient of performance (COP) of the absorption refrigeration system are calculated. Experimental results have indicated the cooling capacity as 1.098 kW at a maximum engine power of 4.9 HP. The highest COP value in the designed system has been calculated to be .3022 for the generator temperature of 160 C. Although the COP of refrigeration is low, the absorption refrigeration system can be provided a great cooling load from the exhaust heat of diesel engines and can be used in naval surface ships. In addition to energy efficiency of naval surface ships, infrared and acoustic signature can be minimized and a ships susceptibility can be dramatically reduced.","PeriodicalId":48791,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ship Production and Design","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46657949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hull deflections caused by vessel loading or propeller loads initiated by interaction with the wakefield have become important considerations in modern vessel design. Jack-up tests, typically used as a bearing load verification method, can only be accomplished under static shaft conditions and cannot verify the shaft dynamic behavior under running operational conditions. A newly developed sensor using strain gauge technology measures the bearing load and the shaft misalignment angle through the bearing housing's deformation-induced strain. It effectively converts the bearing housing into a weighing machine by mapping the bearing housing strain onto the bearing load. Unlike jack-up tests, this method allows for the continuous measurement of the bearing load and misalignment angle under all shaftline operational conditions. It is envisaged that this technologically simple system will allow for the earliest possible diagnosis of shaft alignment-related problems, such as bearing unloading, bearing overloading, or excessive shaft-bearing misalignment. This provides a much earlier warning indicator when compared with the bearing temperature alarm. The subject technology has been tested on intermediate bearings and is considered for future application into stern tube bearings.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 In post-IMO's (International Maritime Organization) Energy Efficiency Design Index vessel designs, the propulsion shafting arrangements become increasingly sensitive to shaft alignment with lower tolerances and margins, increasing the risk of stern tube bearing failures (Leontopoulos 2016a). This change is due to the wider use of more efficient, larger diameter propellers with increased cantilevered load on the shafting system and shorter shaftlines as a result of maximizing cargo space and minimizing engine room length. Widespread application of the single stern tube bearing design (an arrangement without a forward stern tube bearing) has also highlighted a decreased tolerance to eccentric propeller thrust and propeller forces in general. Reduced tolerance to shaft alignment sighting errors, bearing offset inaccuracies and other shaft installation errors, also affects the integrity of the shafting system and can result in complete bearing wiping with the consequence of vessel propulsion immobilization. This undesirable consequence has increased, particularly during the years 2013–2017.\u0000","PeriodicalId":48791,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ship Production and Design","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45096238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect of fluxes on the depth of penetration of the weldments, width of weldment, microstructure of the weldment, and microhardness of the weldment was investigated. Reverse Marangoni convection and arc constriction are found to be more effective in A-TIG manual welding, as aspect ratio obtained by A-TIG manual welding is greater as than that of automatic A-TIG welding. Microstructure of both the manual and automatic A-TIG-welded specimen is similar with no noticeable differences and almost same amount of intermetallic phases and carbon precipitates. Microhardness tests revealed that for Al2O3 and TiO2 fluxes, manual A-TIG-welded specimen have lower values of microhardness at weldment, heat-affected zone, and base metal than automated A-TIG-welded specimen.

The 43-m boat was constructed around 2500 BC and placed, disassembled, in a pit next to the Great Pyramid at Giza in Egypt. Since its discovery in 1954, there has been speculation about its original design, means of propulsion, and purpose. This article presents previously unpublished results of the first tank testing of a model of the Cheops Boat and some preliminary conclusions about the design, propulsion, and function of the original. It is shown that the stability characteristics of the boat make it suited for carrying lightweight cargo and people in the protected waters of the Nile. Towing tests have shown that the boat can be safely rowed in a variety of wind and current conditions. Windward sailing calculations have shown that, if fitted with sail, then boats such as the Cheops Boat perform well downwind, but sail no closer than a beam reach.\u0000 During the 1954 clearing of debris from the Giza Plateau, it was noticed that the Great Pyramid's north and west enclosure walls were 23.6m from the base of pyramid, but the south wall was 5mcloser to the base. Careful inspection revealed that the south wall had been built in an asymmetrical location to conceal two boat pits beneath it. The two pits were end to end, one covered by 41 massive limestone blocks and the other by 40. When the eastern pit was opened, the remains of the disassembled boat were revealed. Figure 1 shows photographs of some of the pieces as they were removed from the pit. Remarkably, the 4500-year-old cedar had been so well preserved that it was possible to reassemble this boat like a kit. Even the rope was preserved, and looked like what could be bought today.","PeriodicalId":48791,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ship Production and Design","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48915537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the recent decade, stepped planing hulls have been investigated with emphasis on their better performance in calm water than that of nonstepped planing hulls. However, there are still doubts about their performance in rough water. In this study, we investigate this problem by providing numerical simulations for motions of a double-stepped and a non-stepped planing hull in a vertical plane when they encounter head waves. The problem will be solved using the finite volume method and volume of fluid method. To this end, a numerical computational fluid dynamics code (STARCCM1) has been used. Accuracy of the numerical simulations is evaluated by comparing their outcome with available experimental data. The dynamic response of the investigated hulls has been numerically modeled for two different wave lengths, one of which is smaller than the boat length and the other which is larger than the boat length. Using the numerical simulations, heave and pitch motions as well as vertical acceleration are found. It has been found that at wave lengths larger than the boat length, heave amplitude decreases by 10–40%when two steps are added to the bottom of a vessel. It has also been observed that pitch of a planing hull is reduced by 18–32% in the presence of the two steps on its bottom. Finally, it has been observed that for wave lengths larger than the boat length, the maximum vertical acceleration decreases by a gravitational acceleration of about .2–.7.","PeriodicalId":48791,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ship Production and Design","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45177069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A parametric model is used to specify the internal layout of a tanker ship considering a fixed hull shape and regulatory framework. The design variables include positions of watertight members in the internal layout, such as watertight bulkhead position, double-bottom height, and wing tanks width. Merit functions are the minimization of oil outflow parameter, maximization of cargo capacity, and minimization of the longitudinal bending moment, which are, respectively, represented for reduction of environmental pollution due to damaged oil tankers, improvement of economic benefits, and safety during operation. The multi-objective genetic algorithm is used for approaching the Pareto frontiers, and the choices between the optimal designs are discussed while introducing a utility function.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 The internal layout of the ship's hull is established in the initial stage of ship design. The size and location of the internal spaces are defined taking into consideration the type of ship and the type of content and usage of the compartments. On the other hand, survivability regulations impose limitations in the subdivision arrangement of the ship. Also, the economic competitiveness has special importance in the design of a merchant ship. Cargo capacity and building cost are some of those economic objectives that are not necessarily in accordance with the improvement of safety objectives. Thus, the design of the internal layout of the vessels can be studied as a multi-objective optimization problem targeting safety improvement after damage besides decreasing the cost functions. A diversity of internal layout designs can be investigated within an optimization framework to choose the dominating design among the feasible solutions (Nowacki 2010). However, targeting a variety of objective functions complicates the process of internal compartment design, especially when the main hull dimensions have to be kept constant (Santos & Guedes Soares 2010).\u0000","PeriodicalId":48791,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ship Production and Design","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49061468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, welding hot cracking susceptibility experiments are conducted with fish-bone-type Invar alloy sheets under pulsed laser welding condition. The pulse wave consists of two distinct power levels: welding pulse and post-heating pulse. The welding temperature field can be controlled by changing the duration of the post-heating pulse. The results of experimental measurements and finite element method calculation show that increasing of the post-heating pulse duration leads to a decline in the cooling rate of weld metal within the brittle temperature range, although the welding hot cracking susceptibility decreases at first and then increases. Neither the heat input nor the cooling rate is the only decisive factor for hot cracking during the welding process.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 Invar alloy is widely applied in precision measurement devices and low-temperature-resistant structures for its low linear expansion coefficient at ambient temperature, which is less than 1.6 × 10—6 k—1, about 1/10 of the low carbon steel, and it changes very little within a large temperature range (Corbacho et al. 1998; Park et al. 2011; Zhao et al. 2015; Qiu et al. 2016). With the increase in demand for natural gas, the liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier has been developed rapidly as a means of long-distance transport. The material of primary and secondary barriers on the containment insulation system of membrane-type LNG carrier is welded Invar alloy with a thickness of .7 mm, which directly contacts the — 163°C LNG (American Bureau of Shipping 2006; Bureau Veritas 2011; Wang et al. 2006). The total weld length of Invar alloy on an LNG carrier over 13 million cubic meters can reach up to 100 km according to statistics.\u0000 Hot cracking is the major problem in the welding of Invar alloy, and currently Tungsten inert gas (TIG) arc welding is commonly used. However, the problem of hot cracking cannot be solved completely, and requires that the operator have good technical knowledge. Invar alloy has high hot cracking susceptibility during the welding process because of its single-phase austenite structure and high content of Ni (Kou 2003). Studies show that the welding hot cracking susceptibility of Invar alloy can be reduced when elements such as Ti, Mn, and Mo are added (Hirata et al. 2001), but these alloying elements will increase the linear expansion coefficient of the weld, resulting in the deterioration of mechanical properties at low temperature. Thus, laser welding and friction stir welding are proposed by researchers to solve the welding hot cracking problem of Invar alloy from the aspect of reducing welding heat input.\u0000","PeriodicalId":48791,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ship Production and Design","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43548180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These improvements are focused on the standardization of equipment and components in the accommodation area and engine room, as well as in the general arrangement of these spaces, by orienting their design toward manufacturing.
