Even though shipping is one of the mos fuel-efficient modes of transport, the industry was responsible for over 900 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions in 2015. This is equivalent to the annual emissions of Germany. Besides greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions ships engines also cause particulate matter, NOx and noise pollution. As a result,...

One of the most important reasons to investigating fuel cells is the increased level of regulation regarding emissions in the maritime sector, while fuel cells offer the opportunity to reduce these emissions. It was not clear what the impact of these systems would be on a yacht, the aim of this project is therefore to gain more insight into...

The innovation of underwater exhaust systems on ships increases onboard space, reduces noise emission and allows for zero direct emissions. For defense vessels, stealth is increased as the heat signature reduces due to underwater exhaust. However, there is a disadvantage of dynamic back pressure at the exhaust outlet which deteriorates the...

Rising carbon emissions and the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) have put immense pressure on ship owners to make ships more efficient. One way to make ships more efficient is to install an energy saving device (ESD). ESDs are designed to perform at vessel’s design speed and design draft. Thus, there is abundant information available on...

This thesis aims at gaining insights into the operational principles of the diesel engine injection systems and reproducing the dynamic of fuel injection in the diesel engines. Two popular fuel injection systems are modeled in this thesis, including the mechanical injection system and the common-rail injection system.

Environmental regulations are continuously raising the bar towards more advanced diesel engine designs ca- pable of minimizing the emissions of polluting substances. The recent IMO Tier III legislation, entered into force in 2016, is forcing the engine manufacturers to meet a NOx reduction of more than 70% from Tier II for all the ships sailing...

Keeping a submarine stable underwater is important to be able to execute missions. Therefore, one of the main systems on board of submarines is therefore the ballast trim system. This system is able to maintain the submarine balanced. There must be equilibrium in weight and buoyancy as well as in the trimming moment. This makes the ballast trim...

The diesel engine plays a dominant role in the field of (maritime) transportation and is expected to do so in the coming years. Depletion of fossil fuels and environmental impact are relevant concerns, widely acknowledged by the international community. NOx contributes to acid deposition and eutrophication. Regulations on NOx emissions become...
