Optimization procedure to minimize fuel consumption of a four-stroke marine turbocharged diesel engine
TL;DR: A numerical optimization model is developed to simulate the performance of a large four-stroke marine turbocharged diesel engine along the entire operating range by finding the optimal value of the adjustable parameters: speed of the turbocharger, start angle of injection, intake valve timing and amount of injected fuel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk-based framework for ship and structural design accounting for maintenance planning
TL;DR: A risk-based framework for a ship and structural design accounting for maintenance planning is developed and time profiles of performance, which will incorporate structural degradation in conjunction with ship hull strength to predict the expected behaviour in terms of structural integrity is analysed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of normalization techniques in multi-criteria decision making methods for the design of ship internal layout from a Pareto optimal set
TL;DR: This work aims to assess the suitability of different formulations of normalization techniques within multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) for applying to final design selection from the obtained Pareto frontier.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of the Performance of Marine Diesel Engines to Minimize the Formation of SO x Emissions
TL;DR: In this paper, an extension of previous simulation researches is presented to calculate the amount of SOx emissions from two marine diesel engines along their load diagrams based on the percentage of sulfur in the marine fuel used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of multi-criteria decision making methods for selection of ship internal layout design from a Pareto optimal set
TL;DR: The focus is on the selection of the final design of the internal layout of oil tankers and the applied methods of multi-criteria decision making are applied.
