5 :: what is the difference between Mitsui MAN b&w and Hitachi MAN
b&w engines?
Design and system wise absolutely no difference. Only the license manfacturer is
different. mitsui and Hitachi kawasaki Diawoo are the different license holders for
Man B&W for making the engines.
6 :: How will we know, without opening anything, that an engine is 2S
or 4S?
by the arrangement of the valves ...in two stroke exhaust valve is situated at the
top(i.e cylinder head) and there are scavenge ports at the bottom in modern
diesel engine...whereas in four stoke the exhaust and inlet is situated at the
cylinder head.
12) What do you understand by the pumps and what purpose they
serve? Name different types pumps that are used on board ship.
Explain the working of each pump in brief.
Ans )There are mainly four types of pumps that are used in the shipping industry.
Centrifugal Pump, reciprocating pump, screw pump and gear pump. Centrifugal
pumps are mainly used in the lubrication pumps, like main engine pump. On the
other hand centrifugal pumps are always used in the areas where there is a
demand of high flow like ballast pumps etc. Reciprocating pumps are used as
stripping pumps, and come handy when tanks cleaning process are going one
because they can develop more power.
14)Explain the difference between two stroke engines and four stroke
engines with the help of cycle?
In two strokes, there is one power stroke for two strokes and crankshaft takes
only one revolutions. But in four stroke engine, one power stroke is responsible
for causing 4 strokes and the crankshaft turns by two revolution
15) Explain the cycle of working of diesel engine and petrol engines.
The petrol engine cycle is called as Otto Cycle and operates on constant volume
and on other diesel cycle operates on Constant pressure. But generally our engine
operates on the dual cycles.
16.What is the unit of specific fuel consumption and define the same?
Thrust specific fuel consumption (TSFC) or sometimes simplyspecific fuel
consumption, SFC, is an engineering term that is used to describe the fuel
efficiency of an engine design with respect to thrust output. TSFC may also be
thought of as fuel consumption(grams/second) per unit of thrust (kilonewtons, or
kN).
17. What is the meaning of Indicated Horse power and Brake horse
power, and difference between the two?
Ans- Indicated Horse Power (IHP) is defined as the theoretical value of power
available at the shaft.
Brake Horse power (BHP) is defined as the practical value of power available at
the shaft
18. What is refrigeration and air conditioning?
Ans- Refrigeration is a process in which the temperature of a space or its contents
is
reduced to below that of their surroundings.
Air conditioning is defined as the process of conditioning of air as per human
comfort.
