Actual Operation

In actual operation process of a ship, the engine-propeller-hull is an integrated system with internal coupling effects, and thus there is a close interaction between the diesel engine propulsion system operation conditions and the ship manoeuvring motions. The propulsion system can experience large power fluctuation during manoeuvring, with considerable torque increase with regard to the stabilized value in straight course. However, the diesel engine propulsion system behaviour and ship manoeuvrability are usually studied separately as they are considered to belong to different disciplines. Thus, it is difficult to reflect the actual operating characteristics of the propulsion system and ship manoeuvring motion under coupled conditions in actual operation. To investigate the interaction between the propulsion system behaviour and the manoeuvrability of a large containership, this paper proposed a multi-disciplinary ship mobility model capable of coupling the marine diesel engine model and the ship manoeuvring model. In the engine model, the mean value modelling approach was adopted to simulate the two-stroke marine diesel engine considering the fact that it can capture the performance of the engine sub-systems including scavenging receiver, exhaust gas receiver, turbocharger, etc. In the manoeuvring model, the MMG-based method was used to simulate the ship manoeuvring motion with three degrees-of-freedom. The engine model and manoeuvring model were coupled through the propeller model that transferring propeller speed and torque between the two models. The coupled model was validated against the engine shop test data and the sea trial results. By applying this coupled model, a series of simulations of turning circle manoeuvres under various scenarios were performed. The simulation results presented the dynamic response of engine internal sub-systems during turning circle manoeuvring, explained the effect of the torque limiter on engine performance and ship manoeuvring motion, and analyse the influence of different propulsion system control strategies on the ship turning circle manoeuvrability. Although the presented case study has been validated on a specific ship, most of the discussed models have a general application.

Pure vegetable oils have the greatest promise for alternative fuels for internal combustion engines beside the depletion of conventional petroleum resources. Among various possible options, pure vegetable oils present promising of greener air substitutes for fossil fuels. Pure vegetable oils, due to the agricultural origin, liquidity, ready availability, renewability, biodegradability are able to reduce the CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. Also, in Vietnam, pure vegetable oils such as soybean oil (SoO100), coconut oil (CO100) and sunflower oil (SuO100) are available. The paper presents the results of using heated pure vegetable oils for diesel engine D243 with power of 80 hp (58.88) kW. The results of determining the power (Ne), specific fuel consumption (SFC) and efficiency (n) are used to evaluate the performance of engine. The results show that, the engine power (Ne) is 10%-15% lower, the SFC of engine D243 using pure vegetable oils is 3%-5% higher and the η is 2.5%-6.2% lower compared to diesel oil (DO). Among the pure vegetable oils, the best performance results for D243 diesel engine are obtained from heated pure sunflower oil up to 135oC.

In these years, a problem of air pollution in a global scale becomes a matter of great concern. In such social situation, diesel engines are strongly required to reduce the NOx and particulate emission in the exhaust gas. In this paper, measurements of particulate emissions from a low speed two-stroke marine diesel engine were conducted with several kinds of diesel oil and a heavy fuel oil, to know the characteristics of particulate emissions at the present situation. The effects of engine load and sulfur content of the fuel on the particulate emission have been examined. The particulate emission from the test engine was measured by partial-flow dilution tunnel system, and particulate matter collected on the filter was divided into four components, SOF (soluble organic fraction), sulfate, bound water and dry soot, by Soxlet extraction and ion chromatograph. Results show that the particulate emission from the test engine operated with heavy fuel oil is three times as much as the value with diesel oil and that not only sulfate but SOF and dry soot concentration increase with the increase in fuel sulfur content. It is also found that the conversion rate from sulfur in fuel into sulfate in particulate matter is nearly independent of the sulfur content in the fuel and increases with the increase in the engine load.

Marine diesel engines are facing challenges to cope with the emission-reduction regulations set by the international maritime organization (IMO). Hydrogen fuel is one of the alternative fuels which can be used to reduce the exhaust gas emissions from ships. The current paper investigates the effect of using diesel-hydrogen dual fuels on the environmental, energetic and exergetic performance parameters of slow speed marine diesel engine. The investigation is performed using Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software package. As a case study, slow speed diesel engine has been investigated. The results obtained revealed that the energetic and exergetic parameters are influenced by engine load and hydrogen substitution percent. The exergy efficiency is increased by 3.65%, 8.20%, 13.99%, and 21.7% for the hydrogen substitution percentages of 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%, respectively compared with the diesel engine at full load. Environmentally, CO and CO2 emissions are reduced and NOx emissions are increased as the hydrogen energy content increases. Dual fuel engine with input hydrogen energy fractions of 10% and 20% will comply with the required NOx emission regulations set by IMO after using selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system. It will comply with the required regulations with relative percentages of 96.4% and 98.4%, respectively.

Development And Validation

Increasing demands on energy efficiency and environmental acceptance are being imposed on marine propulsion plants. The fulfilment of the conditions set by the MARPOL Convention, Annex VI, regarding the emissions from exhaust gases of marine diesel engines is of particular interest. This paper presents the development and validation of a zero-dimensional, single-zone diesel engine numerical model. Presented numerical model is based on the law of conservation of energy and mass and solving the resulting differential equations. The single-zone model will serve as the basis for a model where the cylinder space is divided into two or three zones during combustion. In this way, the multi-zone model will allow the modelling of nitrogen oxide emissions with satisfactory accuracy. Validation of the diesel engine model was carried out for the Wärtsilä 12V50DF 11700 kW motor designed to drive a synchronous alternator. Obtained results and deviations of certain parameters in the operation of the engine with respect to the data obtained from the measurements on the test bed, are more than satisfactory regarding complexity of the numerical model. This confirmed the usability of the model for research purposes to optimize the marine diesel engine.

Vegetable oil is used directly as a fuel, in either modified or unmodified equipment, it is referred to as straight vegetable oil (SVO). SVOs have some advantages in comparison with fossil fuel oils such as: renewability, local availability, lower sulfur content, etc. avoiding the environmental effects caused by sulfuric acid, lower aromatic content and high biodegradability. However, SVOs are also attached to several disadvantages such as: high viscosity, low heating value, high fatty contents, influencing on injection process and causing engine coking if misused. In order to prevent such negative effects of diesel engine fuelled by SVO, one of potential solutions is using blends of SVO with diesel oil (DO). In such case, the reasonable ratio of SVO and diesel oil plays a very important role for normal running condition, but also seems to be challenge to identify. The article shows results of a study on defining the ratio for marine diesel application. It is firstly based on the assessment on the heat release processes inside the diesel engine cylinder upon a specific simulation with different blends of SVO and diesel oil. In comparison with the particular requirements for fuel of marine engines, the preferable percentage of vegetable oil in the fuel mixture is pointed out. And finally, the experiments with fuel system of a typical marine diesel engine, HANSHIN 6LU32, installed at the lab of Vietnam Maritime University in terms of checking real engine’s operation and reducing harmful emissions.
