IP501608 Machinery systems

Fundamentals in mechanics, thermo dynamics, energy systems and flow engineering.

After course the students should be able to:

• give an overview of system involved, how they are assembled, how they work and interfacing.
• explain function and design of basic machinery systems, such as main propulsion, cooling systems, fuel sytems etc.
• make systematic analyzis of complex systems and part systems for ship machinery
• evaluate alternative systems with regards to efficiency, cost, safety and environmental issues.
• systematically execute a design task.

1. Introduction to ship systems.
2. Introduction to machinery systems:

• Propulsion. Different systems and typical behaviour.
• Support systems as fuel, cooling, lubrication exhaust. Energy balance and use of heat exchangers, pumps and compressors. Dimensioning.
• Energy production and power transmissions (mechanical, electric, hydraulic). Electric power production using diesel and gas turbines. Electric motors.¨
• Ships systems like manoeuvring, cargo handling, marine operations etc.
• Process equipment of cleaning of gasses and fluids.
• Automation alarms and control. Basic control theory.

3. Analyses of systems

• Diagrams and specifications
• Flow analyses
• Energy analysis
• Safety and risk analyses
• Cost analyses
• Environment issues.

Lectures, exercises, mandatory project work (individually and in groups).

Mandatory assignments have to be approved before admission to examination.

4 hours written exam + Project report to be handed in together with exam paper. Minimum requirement for approval must be obtained for both exam and report.
