ABSTRACT :
The use of bearings is essential to all
types of machines, especially in marine aspects
they provide the function of supporting heavier component in a desired
position. These bearings have contact with the rotating part and causes surface
wear which can be controlled by lubrication. Researches have raised the
standards of performance for rotating equipment by providing robust, cost
effective, easy to implement magnetic bearing solutions. Use of magnetic
bearings in ships can be more advantageous because it is contact –free
resulting in no surface wear and hence
no need for lubricant, no servicing and can work in clean environment. It has
several other benefits like high reliability, clean environments, high speed
applications, position and vibration control and can withstand in extreme
conditions. Magnetic bearing will also restrict the translational sliding,
which is merely a linear case of supporting a rotating object thus use of
thrust block also eliminated. Magnetic bearing technology has become viable
because of advances in micro-processing controllers that allows for confident
and robust active control. This paper discusses more about the construction,
principle and working of magnetic bearing in detail.

ABSTRACT :
Ceramics by itself is an ocean of a
field in engineering whose applications are proliferating day by day in almost
every industry. The paper overviews the remarkable developments in the world
of ceramics and exclusively discusses
the properties of zirconia ,an oxide of zircon. It is in fact seen with their
merits over other conventional metals , thereby the joining techniques are also
talked about. The paper draws out inferences and the advent of this wonder
material in various fields of transportation. Whilst shipping is known to be a
massive contributor to global trade and is trying to keep pace with
developments of other industries , we will see how the industry is constantly researching to find out alternatives to
engineering materials used on marine
diesel engines . Interestingly scientists feel that “ ceramics” is the word
that can quench the thirst for higher power and higher efficiency diesel
engines. With the hunger for more power, high speed, low maintenance cost, longer overhaul periods, the industry
is still earnestly attempting to bring
the best out. But with fine ceramics, IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE!..
3 OPTIMIZATION OF HYDROGEN DI ENGINE TO
REDUCE NOx EMISSIONS
AUTHORS: -

Mechanical Enginnering, 3rd Year, VIT
University, Chennai Campus
ABSTRACT :
A DI engine with split injection is
proposed which provides the following benefits:
·The
direct injection prevents the risk of backfire in the intake manifold as the
intake valve closes before the start of injection of fuel directly into the
combustion chamber.
·Split
injection provides enough time for the homogenous mixture formation.
The proposed research work would be
based on the CFD simulations using ANSYS FLUENT software. In this work,
injection timing is optimized and the fuel quantity injected at each injection,
such that peak temperature is low to prevent the pre-ignition and also to
reduce the NOx emissions.

ABSTRACT :
The aim of this paper is to study ways
to device methods to conserve the environment surrounding us, discuss the
efficiency of the various systems used and study its suitable applicability.
The potential benefits of every development should be compared to the risks
posed by it to the natural surroundings before proceeding with it. Human beings
are a central part of the ecosystem, and are directly and indirectly affected
by its pollution. Various ways can be implemented to conserve the environment.
Application of these strategies will ultimately result in the overall
sustainable development of a multi-modal logistics solution with respect to
efficiency in the utmost possible extent giving rise to a cleaner
environment.

ABSTRACT :
In an effort to support energy
conservation initiatives, steps were taken to reduce fuel consumption keeping
the output same. Commonality and fuel efficiency are key issues for the next
generation navies. One desire is to establish common hardware and software
components across ship classes. Another desire, which is not only a navy
concern, but also a global concern, is fuel efficiency .This paper talks about
the innovative technology used on board ships on resource conservation. This
focuses upon the present scenario of the fuel system with the advent of modern
technologies. It showcases the advancement and automation in fuel systems in
onboard ships over the years. The paper also consist about the opportunities
and threats associated with this kind of system. Fuel injection system is a
system for admitting fuel into an internal combustion engines. It has become
the primary fuel delivery system used in internal combustion engines. This
invention may be utilized with two and four stroke slow, medium and high speed
diesel engines. It operates with conventional distilled-type diesel fuel and
with residual fuels with 6% or more
sulphur and 50% water. It is possible to operate under severe operating
conditions as the fuel injection control valve and the fuel injection valve
operate with a fluid seal, created by the high fluid tension effect.
6 FUEL CELL AS AN ALTERNATE FOR MARINE PROPULSION

ABSTRACT :
Hydrogen gas fuel and fuel cell
technology was considered as an alternate substitution for the use instead of cheap, heavy fuel oils with high
levels of impurities and other diesel fractions, as even this may emit more than necessary due
to a lack of exhaust after treatment. Hydrogen fuel-cell powered ships
effectively run on batteries powered by hydrogen instead of conventional
non-renewable resources. The fuel cell converts the hydrogen supplied and
oxygen in air into water, and in the process it produces electricity. As long
as hydrogen and oxygen keep flowing into the fuel cell, it never goes dead.
Hydrogen fuel cells have potential for
reducing harmful emissions (only depending on how the hydrogen is produced),
and will decrease the International shipping’s dependence on heavy oil &
other fossil fuels. The disadvantage: in order to put hydrogen-powered ships in
use more profoundly at sea is that we must change not only our present
propulsion technology. But, our entire fuel supply and fuel distribution
system.
There are two ways to make hydrogen
fuel, one clean, one not so clean. Electrolyzing water—splitting the hydrogen
from the oxygen—produces no direct emissions, but the process requires more
energy than it produces. Hydrogen also comes from partly burning methane gas
and reacting it with steam, which separates the resulting gas into oxygen and
hydrogen. In other words, in order to produce “clean” hydrogen fuel you need to
start with fossil fuels (coal or natural gas), which come with the same old
climate-compromising problems.
“The critical question is how can we
produce hydrogen in efficient ways that also produce low emissions &
support Healthy air pollution free shipping with linking Technologies such as
fuel cells?”

ABSTRACT :
Conventional marine fuels have always
limited the endurance of ships leading to inefficient cargo ships. This
research considers the use of hydrogen as a marine fuel. It is now accepted
that environmental pollution from ships contributes to climate change .Hydrogen
marine utilization provides an efficient solution for the above-mentioned cause
of concern.
Owing
to the advancement in technology, we are now able to produce and store hydrogen
at much safer and cheaper way using nanotechnology. The hydrogen is converted onboard into shaft power via
combustion in aero derivative gas turbine. Gas turbine offers higher torque to
weight ratio. It is compact in dimension and requires low maintenance.This
research has shown that hydrogen marine system for onboard electricity
production provide an innovative solution for existing environmental shipping
concern at cheaper rate beyond
limitation set by conventional marine fuels .

ABSTRACT :
New regulations in the exhaust gas
emissions are being brought into force time to time. This necessitates not only
the machine but also the operating Marine Engineers are to be updated to meet
the ever changing demand of the industry. One such development on the engine
side is the computer controlled low speed marine engines, commonly known as
“Intelligent Engines”. The basic development is to reduce the operating cost at
the same time to provide high degree of flexibility with enhanced reliability
and adopt stringent emission norms. This paper attempts to touch upon the
various aspects of an “Intelligent Engines”.
9 LNG AS AN ALTERNATING FUEL

ABSTRACT :
Propulsion does mean power and
pollution, particularly when it comes to powering ships. Burning diesel and HFO
(Heavy Fuel Oil) creates greenhouse gases, mainly SOx, NOx and CO2, that are
emitted into the atmosphere. Propulsion systems, because they require seals and
bearings to reduce friction, can also leak lube oil into the ocean when seals
weaken due to harsh conditions and varying loads. These are among the issues
being addressed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in its
continuing efforts to reduce maritime pollution worldwide. The IMO’s Tier III
regulations, scheduled to take effect in 2016, would require dramatic
reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from ships, including a massive 80 percent
in NOx when transiting designated Emission Control Areas.
We are having a good alternative to it.
It is the Natural gas ( LNG). The combustion of natural gas is much cleaner.
During complete combustion, the only byproducts are carbon dioxide (a greenhouse
gas) and water, both colorless. Natural gas is, in fact, a “no sulfur fuel” and
can reduce NOx emissions by up to 90 percent and CO2 by up to 20 percent with
little or no smoke.Liquefied natural gas (LNG) can be used as a fuel in ships
because it occupies one-six hundredth the volume of natural gas. The Price of
LNG is lesser than HFO.

ABSTRACT :
Engineering has developed many engines
but its most efficient inventions is the
Z CRANK ENGINES. Z- Crank engines are one of the most powerful and
efficient engines ever developed, the fact is that we are not known to its
significance. Axial engines technology
(i.e. z crank) has developed to the inventions of swash plate engines
and wobble plate engines. Due to more advantageous features compared to tandem
IC engines, these engine can be more widely used for applications in many
industries where a fuel efficient, vibration less & noise less and high power
engines with compact size are required.

ABSTRACT :
The advancement of science and
technology has made it possible today, for seafarers to ease their workload and
lead a life of convenience onboard. Engine performance monitoring systems
collect data with the help of various strategically placed sensors. The
shipping industry in general is not very responsive to change. It tends to play
safe and rely on hands-on approach to management and operation, in spite of
reliable technology having made inroads into and been integrated with safe ship
operations. The reasons for inhibition are varied and justified. Shipping along
with being one of the oldest trades of the world also carries the baggage of
high capital risks in cases where things do not go as planned. Ship owners more
often than not are reluctant to invest in technology and believe in time tested
methods of human interventions. Investment in shipping has traditionally been
pulled by factors such as risk and investment sharing, economies of scale,
cost-control, frequency of transportation and the globalization of trade.
Although these are still valid factors, the necessity to innovate in order to
create competitiveness has become a more and more important factor driving
owners to revaluate their stand on technological intervention in vessels. There
is no doubt that the shipping industry will face major challenges in the years
to come.

ABSTRACT :
The process of mechanical energy conversion has been
linked with the piston engine for almost two centuries making them a fulcrum in
our development. Analysis of IC engines by designers
put forward its weaknesses and the need for a better, more efficient, hassel
free and a cleaner engine. Results
suggested the need for a turbo shaft turbine, to achieve this inventers
attached each turbine blade to the next in a configuration resembling a chain. Hence
was born the QUASITURBINE…..
The quasiturbine unlike the
latest engine designs stands apart challenging our outlook towards the
traditional rotary engine designs, unfurling new fields of development and
offering what no other engine design has even remotely close to. The
quasiturbine is a relatively simple technology, within a few years it could be
widely used with substantial increase in efficiency as compared to piston
engines.
The quasiturbine is a modern rotary
multifuel engine which is inspired by the turbine, perfects the piston engine
and improves upon the wankel. It makes the gas engine as efficient as the
diesel and the diesel as clean as the gas engine.

ABSTRACT :
Ship operators are confronted by rising
fuel costs and ever stricter environmental regulations. The shipping department
has to adapt itself to the changing environment through the advancement in
technologies. Though many researchers have come up with various new ideas, the
concept of super turbo generators proves to be a better option. This paper
discusses about the working, reliability and advantages of super turbo
generators. Human tendency is to always expect more from everyone and
everything. The efficiency of heat engines are less than 50% and there existed
questions like, What happens to the remaining energy? How do we recover it? The
super turbo generator is the answer for these questions. To put it simply, this
system uses the heat from the main engine exhaust gases. This heat energy is
used for generating steam that is channeled to the turbo generator where the
power for the vessel is produced.

ABSTRACT :
The environment is something
you are very familiar with. It's everything that makes up our surroundings and
affects our ability to live on the earth—the air we breathe, the water that
covers most of the earth's surface, the plants and animals around us, and much
more Why do we need to save the.environment/wildlife/etc? I understand that if
we don't, it would be selfish in a way,
like it may be putting ourselves higher than nature. Or, that if we don't it
will affect us and we will perish... But aren't we a part of nature and
everything we do is somewhat 'natural'. What makes us to be labeled as against
nature? We use our brain to develop electronics and such , but then they are
labeled as damaging the environment?
21 WATER JET PROPULSION SYSTEM”
AUTHORS:-

ABSTRACT :
Waterjet propulsion is the most
successful and efficient method of propulsion for high-speed applications. The
advantages are not only higher efficiency, but also lower vessel resistance due
to the absence of underwater appendages like shafts, rudders and shaftstruts.
Waterjets are usually used to power ships with design speeds of 30 knots or
more such as high-speed ferries, luxury yachts, fast patrol boats and naval
support vessels, including catamarans and trimarans. They are also used in
vessels such as naval landing craft which perform special duties in shallow
water. Waterjet propulsion has many advantages over other forms of marine
propulsion, such as stern drives, outboard motors, shafted propellers and
surface drives. These advantages include Excellent manoeuvrability, high
efficiency, low drag and shallow draught, low maintenance, smooth and quiet,
total safety, Maximum engine life, simplicity, easy installation, precise
steering control etc..,

ABSTRACT :
The paper makes a comparison
between rail and roadways as means of transporting goods from one city to the
other in India; and inland waterways. It highlights the flip side of the two
conventional modes, their demerits! Also, it sheds light on how advantageous
the waterways would be, if developed and maintained well in a country like
India that is rich in both human as well as natural resources.
The paper goes on to giving
handy suggestions and guidelines to work upon the development of the inland
waterways in India, which will surely lead to greater profits, giving a lift to
the nation’s economy. Not only this, the paper clearly indicates that the use
of inland waterways is extremely eco-friendly and less polluting in comparison,
which is the need of the hour!

25 PROPULSIVE EFFECIENCY
OF MERCHANT SHIPS – MODETRN TECHNIQUES FOR IMPROVEMENT
AUTHORS:-
Mangala Deoghare
Tolani Maritime Institute Talegaon

ABSTRACT :
Ever since sail gave way to
mechanical power as the prime method of propulsion, shipping has accounted for
a substantial quantity of the world’s oil consumption which today amounts to
about 4% but any increase in the efficiency of the propulsion system can lead
to huge savings. The propeller of the ship provides the thrust required to move
it and simultaneously has certain losses associated with it. A propeller in
open water has a uniform inflow of water into it but the scenario is quite
different when placed behind a ship. The flow field is changed by the ship’s
hull. Due to viscosity the ship’s hull drags the water with it and this effect
increases with distance to such an effect that water at the stern has a forward
velocity. This phenomenon is called wake and it affects the inflow of water
into the propeller.This paper discusses some arrangements to reduce these
losses and improve the propulsion efficiency. Some of such devices are Mewis
Duct, WED, Grim Vane Wheel, Pod Propulsion and Contrarotating Propellers. The
above methods, through an improvement of efficiency lead to a lesser fuel
consuming and a “greener” shipping world.

1. TOPIC : AMPHIBIOUS HOVERCRAFT
ABSTRACT
:
A hovercraft,
also known as an air-cushion vehicle or ACV, is a craft capable of travelling
over land, water, mud or ice and other surfaces both at speed and when
stationary. Hovercraft are hybrid vessels operated by a pilot as an aircraft
rather than a captain as a marine vessel.They operate by creating a cushion of
high-pressure air between the hull of the vessel and the surface below.
Typically this cushion is contained within a flexible "skirt". They
typically hover at heights between 200 mm and 600 mm above any surface and
operate above 20 knots and can clear gradients up to 20 degrees.
The main material
list involves following material:
i. Thick
thermocol sheets for the base, rudder and fan supporting structures
ii. Synthetic
sheet for skirt
iii. 2 fans of
high rpm one for inflating the skirt and other to give thrust for forward
movement

2. TOPIC : SHIP’S HULL DESIGN GIVING
STABLE EQUILIBRIUM IN ALL CONDITIONS
ABSTRACT
:
The
idea is to give a complete solution for free surface effect and adapt the
vessel to “roll with the wave”. The design is such that the cargo space ahead
of the superstructure rotates around an axle fixed to the rest of the ship.
Since the superstructure is connected to the cargo space only by an axle, the
rotary motion of the cargo space will not affect the uprightness of the rest of
the ship.

4. TOPIC : LINE
FOLLOWER ROBOT
ABSTRACT :
The basic aim of a line follower is to
follow a painted line (White/Black line on Black/White background
respectively).It is basically designed to transport raw materials, spare parts
etc. in industries and factories widely spread over big areas. In such cases
human intervention to control remote operated machines becomes cumbersome. A
line follower robot is hence used to minimize human intervention and promote
automation. Depending upon the programming algorithm and quality and number of
sensors used , a line follower robot may be made to transport safely and
quickly .
The algorithm of making a line follower is very simple and cheap to design. A
microprocessor such as an ATMEL AT89S52 is used to to take decisions regarding
steering control of robot using motors, understanding and implementing output
of sensors etc. A C-program can be used to impart the robot its artificial
intelligence. The sensors used are basically a pair of LED/LDR which senses
difference between black and white surfaces(As black absorbs all light and
white reflects all the light).Differential drive is used for steering the
robots position(controlling rotation of either left/right of wheels to make a
turn).Proximity sensors(also a pair of LED/LDR) used to halt immediately the
robot as soon as it encounters an obstacle.

5. TOPIC : ELEVATOR
CONTROL BASED ON PLC
ABSTRACT : In this
project an attempt has been made to integrate the programmable logic controller
(PLC) with elevator for developing its control system. This project introduces
the design and realization of elevator experimental equipment based on
configuration software and plc. Using configuration software in conjunction
with manipulator’s movement in the system gave the most intuitive exhibition
and dynamic imitation. The system can not only supervise and control
manipulator process, but can also carry out simulation. Also, it can make the
system easily extendible for future developments and greatly promote the
automation level of monitor and management. The PLC used for this project is
ZELIO LOGIC 2 with eight inputs and four outputs. The programming language used
is ladder diagram. Besides the elevator control design as its mainstay, this
project also includes the mechanical design and implementation of a highly
scaled down model of an elevator. This is done with an objective to obtain a
clear understanding of actual operation of a PLC and aspects like hardware
interfacing .

TOPIC : MOORING ROPE OVERTENSION WARNING DEVICE
ABSTRACT
:
Mooring operations are one of the most
dangerous tasks undertaken by crew on a Ship. The insurance paid, the emotional
damage done to fellow crew member, the loss of body parts, and the most
important, the loss of life, has made it a major object of concern in the
shipping world.
To
tackle this problem, we have come with a cheap and effective method to warn
sailors beforehand whether a mooring rope will break or not.
The
basic idea is to use a clamping embedded with a set strain gauge or similar
transducers on the girth of a heavy rope to monitor the change in diameter of
the rope and then calibrating it to display the tension and using the safe
limit to restrict any further involvement.
This
will also include the wireless transmission of signals from the instrument
installed at some part of the rope to the digital display device. An alarm will
