Marine Diesel Engines – I for Marine Engineering Syllabus for B.Tech 4th sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Marine Diesel Engines – I B.Tech (R13) fourthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES
- To Teach students so as to have the basic knowledge in Marine Diesel Engines
UNIT I : PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF I.C. ENGINE [9 hours]
4-Stroke and 2-Stroke cycles; Deviation from ideal condition in actual engines; Limitation in parameters, Timing Diagrams of 2-Stroke and 4-Stroke engines. Comparative study of slow speed, medium speed and high-speed diesel engines – suitability and requirements for various purposes. Mean Piston speed, M.C.R. & C.S.R. ratings. Practical heat balance diagrams and thermal efficiency
UNIT II : GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF MARINE DIESEL ENGINE [9 hours]
Constructional Details of I.C. engines and marine diesel engines: components: jackets and liners, cylinder heads and fittings, pistons, cross heads, connecting rods, crank shaft, bearings, bed plates, aframes, welded construction for bedplates & frames and tie rods etc.
COOLING OF I.C. ENGINES:
Various cooling media, their merits and demerits, cooling of pistons, cylinder jackets & cylinder heads, bore cooling, coolant conveying mechanism and systems, maintenance of coolant and cooling system, cooling water: testing and treatment.
UNIT III : SCAVENGING SYSTEM [9 hours]
Scavenging arrangements in 2-stroke engines; air charging and exhausting in 4-stroke engines; various types of scavenging in 2-stroke engines; uniflow, loop and cross flow scavenging, their merits and demerits, scavenge pumps for normally aspirated engines, under piston scavenging, scavenge manifolds.
SUPERCHARGING ARRANGEMENTS
Pulse and constant pressure type; merits and demerits in highly rated marine propulsion engines. air movements inside the cylinders. turbocharger and its details.
SELECTION OF LUBRICANTS
Introduction – field of application – cylinder lubrication for large two stroke engines – crank case oil for large two stroke engines – lubricants for medium speed trunk piston engines medium / high and high – speed engines – air compressor cylinder oil – all purpose oil – refrigeration compressor crank case oil. Lubricating systems for various engines – monitoring engines through lubricating oil analysis reports. Treatment of Luboil for contaminants including microbiological infection.
[TOTAL: 45 PERIODS]
OUTCOMES: On completion of the course the students are expected to have knowledge
