Research on the new combustion chamber design to operate with low methane number fuels in an internal combustion engine with pre-chamber
(Elsevier, 2023-07)
Gas flaring is the burning process of unwanted raw natural gas (NG) that cannot be processed during the oil and gas extraction and process operations. This research work aims to continue with the experimental prototyping ...
Experiments on a lab scale TES unit using eutectic metal alloy as PCM
(Elsevier, 2015-05)
The behavior of a magnesium and zinc eutectic metal alloy used as thermal energy storage (TES) material is tested in a
laboratory scale TES unit. The TES unit consists of two concentric tubes with the central tube surrounded ...
Methodological Design Optimization of a Marine LNG Internal Combustion Gas Engine to Burn Alternative Fuels
(MDPI, 2023-06-08)
Marine emission policies are becoming more demanding; thus, ship propulsion and power generation technologies need to be adapted to current scenarios. LNG is already considered to be a transition fuel, and new alternative ...
Latitude error in compass deviation: mathematical method to determine the latitude error in magnetic compass deviation
(Gdansk University of Technology, 2014-10)
This article aims to provide the seafarer with a tool to calculate the deviation for a righted ship in any geographical
position using only the information available on board. In this way the accidental errors in the ...
Analysis of the turning circle manoeuvre from the point of view of an efficient managing of the main engine
(Spanish Society of Maritime Research (SEECMAR), 2010-08)
The purpose of this paper is to study the influence of the 360 deg turn in theeconomy of the voyage and to find out the maximum efficiency by means of themain engine’s procedure. Moreover ...
Angle of loll calculation by cubic spline
(Spanish Society of Maritime Research (SEECMAR), 2013)
Several years ago the Basque Government supported the programming of the software ARKITSAS in order to provideall existing vessels with a specific software to calculate stability, cargo and longitudinal strength data. The ...
Determining Flinders' bar correction by heeling the ship
(Spanish Society of Maritime Research (SEECMAR), 2013)
The aim of this article is to provide the compass adjuster with an innovative method of determining thelength of Flinders’ bar while the ship’s latitude remains unaltered. In this way the definitive compass ad-justment may ...
Parametric analysis of a packed bed thermal energy storage system
(AIP, 2017-06-17)
Even if the packed bed thermal energy storage concept has been introduced as a promising technology in the concentrated solar power field in the last years, its full deployment in commercial plants presents a clear improvement ...
Speed deficiency in shipbuilding contracts from the point of view of an efficient managing of the main engine
(University of Santander, 2010)
This article is related to the shipbuilding contracts and its purpose is to provide amethod of calculation of the economical damages sustained by a purchaser due tothe speed deficiency of the vessel delivered by the shipyard. ...
