86.NA January 2020 Q.10(b)

January 28, 2020 Posted by AK 7 comments
A ship of 14900 tonnes displacement have a shaft power of 4460 KW at 14.55 knots. The shaft power is reduced to 4120 KW and fuel consumption at same displacement is 541 Kg/h. Calculate the fuel coefficient of the ship.


If you are noticing some error in problems kindly comment below.Thanks

Given 

△ = 14900 t

SP2 = 4460 KW
V2 = 14.55 knots
SP1 = 4120 KW
Fuel consumption = 541 Kg/h

To find


Fuel coefficient


Solution


As we know that SP directly proportional to Speed3

                                   SP directly proportional to V3

                                               SP2 / SP1 = (V2 / V1)3  

                                            4460 / 4120 = (14.55 / V1)3
                                                          V1 = 14.17 knots

At 14.17 knots fuel consumption = 541 Kg/h 

                                                    = 541 x 24 x 10-3
                                                    = 12.98 t / day

Fuel coefficient =  (△2/3 x V1) / Fuel consumption tonne per day 
                         = (149002/3 x 14.173) / 12.98
                           


Fuel coefficient   = 132726

  1. A ship travelling at 15.5 knots has a propeller of 5.5 m pitch turning at 95 rev/min. The thrust of the propeller is 380 KN and the delivered power 3510 KW. If The real slip is 20% and the thrust deduction factor 0.198, calculate the Quasi Propulsive Coefficient (QPC) and the wake fraction
