SHIP RESISTANCE AND PROPULSION

From ship resistance, we can figure out how much power required for Main Engine at a specified speed and what type of propeller should be used. 1st Step: Resistance calculation at a range of operation speed ( Base on Hull basic information, coefficient, proper method) 2nd Step: Initial TOWING power requires for propeller ( base on the Step 1 Resistance, hull form, fluid form, required speed, water density, coefficient ect., ) 3rd Step: Choose Type of Propeller and generate the Initial Characteristic chart ( with Power, RPM, propeller Diameter ) 4th step: Choose M.E with relevant RPM, Power & proper Diameter … Continue reading SHIP RESISTANCE AND PROPULSION

SHIP HYDRO STATIC & STABILITY

Theories and procedures for predicting a ship’s hydrostatic response to various conditions are addressed. Methods for computing the stability characteristics of both intact and damaged ships are studied. Floodable length computations are taught. Stability and subdivision criteria are explained. The lines plan for a hull form is developed and analyzed. A naval architect must have below abilities to generate a good job on this subject: Describe methods for calculating a ship’s hydrostatic properties, including calculation of areas, volumes, centroids, and important hydrostatic parameters such as Δ, LCF, LCB, KB, KM, TPI, MT1. Draw and interpret a ship’s lines drawing. Calculate … Continue reading SHIP HYDRO STATIC & STABILITY
