Thermodynamic simulation for the investigation of marine Diesel engines

摘要

Emissions in the shipping industry are a major environmental concern and IMO regulations are increasingly stringent. Existing methods to assess marine exhaust gas emissions require large and specialised input data-sets. There is therefore a requirement for a methodology which can resolve the dilemma of estimating time-varying gas properties with sufficient accuracy to, for example, predict NOx emissions, whilst also being applicable across the variety of engine types and operational modes that prevail in the marine context, for which there is often sparse input data.
