Marine Diesel Engine Fuel Cost and Quality Analysis/Selection Program. Volume 2. User's Guide

摘要

The document presents a Users Guide for a microcomputer based Marine Diesel Fuel Cost and Quality Analysis/Selection Program which can be utilized to evaluate and select a fuel for bunkering on the basis of cost per unit heat content in dollars per million BTU, $/MBTU, versus the more traditional method of price per unit volume or weight, referenced to viscosity. In addition, the program will evaluate and identify, based on the pre-purchased quoted fuel properties, fuels with potentially harmful contaminants.
