This paper examines the potential use of these systems with regard to several factors, including compliance with EEXI standards set by the International Maritime Organization, fuel ratio optimisation, installation requirements, and economic feasibility. As a case study, an LNG carrier is analysed, with dual-fuel diesel-electric and two hybrid systems adjusted to meet IMO-EEXI requirements with engine power limitation percentages of 25%, 0% (hybrid option 1), and 15% (hybrid option 2), respectively. From an economic standpoint, the liquid hydrogen-based system has competitive costs compared to the dual-fuel diesel-electric system, with costs of 2.1 and 2.5 dollars per kilogram for hybrid system options 1 and 2, respectively.","PeriodicalId":49681,"journal":{"name":"Polish Maritime Research","volume":"2013 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135688301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The basis of the simulator structure is a set of shaping filters fed with Gaussian white noise. These filters are built in the form of transfer functions generating irregular wave signals for different input wind forces. To enable simulation of a wide range of wind speeds, nonlinear interpolation is used.

Efforts to consider these impacts in the design phase are increasing, with a view to the construction of more sustainable structures. However, experimental data from which designers and builders can benefit cannot be found in the relevant literature, especially when it comes to the effects of composite degradation. In this study, we experimentally investigate the combined effects of degradation factors such as a drying-wetting cycle, the shape of the structure, the variety of materials used in the structure, and the differences in the manufacturing of the materials . The structure chosen as an example is a hybrid structural double lap joint composed of epoxy resin, fibreglass composite, and steel, which is widely used in ship structures. The experiments considered four aging periods (zero, 30, 60 and 90 days) under a wet-dry cycle in a programmable corrosion chamber, two overlap lengths (short and long), two surface roughnesses of the steel parts (50 and 90 μm), and two surface preparation alternatives (uncoated and coated with epoxy primer). The synergistic effects of these parameters on the tensile strength, deformation and toughness of the joints were evaluated, and suggestions are made for ship designers. The attention of interested parties, and particularly ship designers, is drawn to the comparative effects of these degradation agents on performance.","PeriodicalId":49681,"journal":{"name":"Polish Maritime Research","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135688191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, the use of catalytic selective filters, dry and wet scrubber systems and exhaust gas recirculation for marine diesel engines is widely used for this purpose. An analysis of the use of ejection gas-air coolers is presented as an additional method of emission reduction. However, the use of such device does not neutralise the harmful emissions of power plant engines, but only increases the volume concentration of their exhaust gases. But this will help to increase the efficiency of dispersion of harmful emissions, by reducing the concentration of harmful emissions to values not exceeding the maximum permissible concentrations. Its efficiency depends on the load mode of the diesel engine. It is found that the initial concentration of harmful substances in combustion products due to their dilution with fresh air at 100% engine load is reduced by about 50%. The values of the reduction of the concentration and temperature of exhaust gases with the reduction of the engine load to 75% and 50% depending on the louvre angle are obtained.

Aspen HYSYS is used to simulate the calculation, and it is found that the system has lower power consumption than the existing reliquefaction method. The temperature of the heat exchanger heater-1 heat flow outlet node (node C-4) is optimised, and it is found that, with the increase of the node C-4 temperature, the power consumption of the compressor gradually increases, and the liquefaction fraction of CO 2 BOG gradually decreases. Under 85% conditions, when the ambient temperature is 0°C and the temperature of node C-4 is -9°C, the liquid fraction of CO 2 BOG reaches the maximum, which is 74.46%, and the power of Compressor-1 is the minimum, which is 40.90 kW. According to this, the optimum temperature of node C-4 under various working conditions is determined. The exergy efficiency model is established, in an 85% ship working condition with the ambient temperature of 40°C, and the exergy efficiency of the system is the maximum, reaching 59.58%.

This development brings many benefits to the economy, society, and human resources in each country but also causes a large number of concerns related to the environment since traditional logistics activities in the supply chain have been releasing a significant amount of emissions. For that reason, many solutions have been proposed to deal with these environmental pollution problems. Among these, three promising solutions are expected to completely solve environmental problems in every supply chain: (i) Application of blockchain in the supply chain, (ii) Use of renewable energy and alternative fuels, and (iii) Design of a closed supply chain. However, it seems to lack a comprehensive study of these solutions aiming to overcome the drawbacks of traditional logistics. Indeed, this work focuses on analyzing and evaluating the three above-mentioned solutions and the impacts of each solution on solving problems related to traditional logistics. More importantly, this work also identifies critical factors and challenges such as policies, laws, awareness, and risks that are found to be remarkable difficulties in the shifting progress of traditional logistics to green logistics. Finally, directions for developing and deploying green solutions to the logistics, supply chain, and shipping sectors toward decarbonization strategies and net-zero goals are discussed in detail.","PeriodicalId":49681,"journal":{"name":"Polish Maritime Research","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135688520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the traditional highlight model, the algorithm has been improved to address the acoustic scattering problems of underwater vehicles with more complex line shapes. The basic idea is to partition the model into micro-bodies to calculate the scattered sound pressure, consider the phase interference of each part, and then synthesise the scattered sound pressure to approximate the target’s actual shape. A computational model of the wedge-shaped convex structure on the back of the underwater vehicles is developed using a highlight model of a trapezoidal plate. The results of the calculations using the highlight model approach are consistent with those of the planar element method. Utilising the modified highlight model method, the accuracy of acoustic scattering characteristics calculations for the stern and overall structures of underwater vehicles has proven satisfactory. Finally, fast acoustic scattering prediction software is developed for underwater vehicles, enabling the calculation of the acoustic scattering characteristics for individual structures, combined structures, and coated silent tiles. This software provides algorithmic support for the fast prediction of the acoustic stealth performance of underwater vehicles.","PeriodicalId":49681,"journal":{"name":"Polish Maritime Research","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135688701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article presents the stages of the experimental research conducted and statistical inference based on the results. Three changing parameters for the structure were reviewed: the active cross-sectional area of the inlet air channel, the injector opening pressure and the compression ratio. Based on the quickly changing temperatures of the exhaust gases, three diagnostic measures were defined and subjected to statistical tests. The following data were averaged over one cycle for a 4-stroke engine operation: the intensity of changes, the specific enthalpy and the peak-to-peak value of the exhaust gas temperature. The results of the two-factor analysis are presented. Conclusions on the analysis are given and a criterion for the selection of a diagnostic measure, depending on the analysed parameter of the structural design of the diesel engine, is proposed.

The goal is to reduce the free parameters while automating the modelling of the propeller. The process of building the parametric model begins by generating an initial point cloud by defining the feature matrix associated with the propeller blade profile shape. Subsequently, the initial point cloud is deformed and refined by the deformation feature matrix and resampling. Finally, a 3D geometry model of the propeller is generated by surface reconstruction. The model can be built automatically by interactively modifying the feature matrices. Two numerical analyses illustrate the performance of the parametric 3D geometry model. Specifically, two propellers are constructed using the proposed model to estimate the shape error between the reconstructed propellers and the original offset of the propellers. These propellers are selected as research objects to determine the hydrodynamic performance error between the propeller constructed by the proposed model and a benchmark propeller. According to the results of the numerical study, the parametric 3D geometry model can precisely reconstruct the aforementioned geometry within a valid error range. The hydrodynamic error analysis demonstrates that the geometric inaccuracy from the reconstructed model has less impact on the propeller performance. This indicates that the model described in this study is generalised and robust. Moreover, some uncommon propeller CAD models were generated in batches using the parametric 3D geometry model.","PeriodicalId":49681,"journal":{"name":"Polish Maritime Research","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135688194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
