SHIP MACHINERIES
MAIN (PROPULSION)
AUXILLIARY (SUPPORT)
is also known as MARINE PROPULSION. It is the mechanism or system used to generate power that is converted into thrust (because of the propellers) to move a ship or boat across water.
Definition:
A
steam turbine is a device that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and uses it to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. Its modern manifestation was invented by Sir Charles Parsons in 1884.
What is a turbine?
A
ROTARY MECHANICAL DEVICE that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work. A turbine is a machine with at least one moving part called a rotor assembly, which is a shaft or drum with blades attached. Moving fluid acts on the blades so that they move and impart rotational energy to the rotor. Early turbine examples are windmills and waterwheels.
To put it simple
A
turbine is a machine for producing continuous power in which a wheel or rotor, typically fitted with vanes (blades), is made to revolve by a fast-moving flow of water, steam, gas, air, or other types of fluid.
Question:
CAN A ELECTRIC FAN BE CONSIDERED AS A TURBINE?
Answer:
NO,
because turbines are machines to extract and convert fluid flow from either gas, steam, or water, into power while electric fans spin by the use of electric motors.
Definition:
A
gas turbine, also called a combustion turbine, is a type of internal combustion engine. It has an upstream rotating compressor coupled to a downstream turbine, and a combustion chamber inbetween.
To put it simple
The
basic operation of the gas turbine is similar to that of the steam turbine except that air is used instead of water (steam). Fresh atmospheric air flows through a compressor that brings it to higher pressure and greater temperature, therefor once it escapes, it expands rapidly to rotate the turbines.
Other information
Gas
turbines are used in many naval vessels, where they are valued for their high power-to-weight ratio and their ships' resulting acceleration and ability to get underway (starting) quickly.
Question:
What are the advantages of using a Gas Turbine Engine?
Answer:
Very high power-to-weight ratio, compared to reciprocating (other) engines; Smaller than most engines of the same power rating. Moves in one direction only, with far less vibration than a reciprocating (other) engines. Fewer moving parts than other engines. Greater reliability, particularly in applications where sustained high power output is required
Answer:
Waste
heat is dissipated almost entirely in the exhaust. This results in a high temperature exhaust stream that is very usable for boiling water in a combined cycle, or for cogeneration. Low operating pressures. High operation speeds. Low lubricating oil cost and consumption.
Answer:
Can
run on a wide variety of fuels. Very low toxic emissions of CO and HC due to excess air, complete combustion and no "quench" of the flame on cold surfaces
BUT!!!
Due to its great fuel consumption, gas turbines are not suitable for long trips, and its much less fuel efficient than diesel engines
DIESEL ENGINE
Definition:
It
is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition and burn the fuel that has been injected into the combustion chamber. This contrasts with spark-ignition engines such as a petrol engine (gasoline engine) or gas engine (using a gaseous fuel as opposed to gasoline), which use a spark plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture. The engine was developed by German inventor Rudolf Diesel in 1893.
NOTE:
GAS ENGINES are different from GAS TURBINES
NOTE:
The difference between DIESEL ENGINES and GAS ENGINES is the way the fuel is combusted. In DIESEL ENGINES, combustion occurs due to compression of the fuel while GAS ENGINES requires spark-ignition
NOTE:
Diesel Engines provide more compression, therefor generating more power. Diesel Engines are more widely used in Marine Propulsion than Gasoline Engines
Fact
Most
modern ships use diesel engines as their prime mover, due to their operating simplicity, robustness and fuel economy compared to most other types of engines.
two-stroke, two-cycle, or two-cycle engine is a type of internal combustion engine which completes a power cycle in only one crankshaft revolution and with two strokes, or up and down movements, of the piston in comparison to a "fourstroke engine", which uses four strokes to do so.
four-stroke engine (also known as fourcycle) is an internal combustion engine in which the piston completes four separate strokes which comprise a single thermodynamic cycle. A stroke refers to the full travel of the piston along the cylinder, in either direction.
ships smooth operation and personnel safety and comfort aboard ship. It also functions as a supporting machinery to the main machineries of the ship (propulsion)
