Course Description

This course discusses the selection of power source and evaluation of commercial and naval ship propulsion systems. It will cover the review and analysis of power plants, transmission systems, propulsors, propeller-engine matching, and reviews alternative power plant and propulsors. The course also investigates prime mover thermodynamic cycles, diesel engines, gas turbines and steam turbines.  Alternative propulsion systems are also discussed. The two phased term project requires analysis of alternatives in propulsion plant design for given physical, performance, and economic constraints. Graduate students complete different assignments, projects and exams.

 

Course Objectives

 

Students learn basic design principles in ship propulsion systems. They gain the ability of design optimization and skill of design of ship propulsion systems.  Students further their communication and analyzing skills in preparing an initial design project.

 

Course Learning Outcomes

 

  1. Understand the ship as a federation of systems and the principles of ship propulsion system -power plant, transmission system and propulsors.
  2. Demonstrate ability to specify preliminary design parameters for a given vessel power source.
  3. Understand principles of thermodynamics with emphasis on power cycles.
  4. Understand systems trade-offs in developing preliminary power system design for a vessel.
