Aqueous Solution Of Ammonia As Marine Fuel, Alessandro Schönborn Jul 2020

Aqueous Solution Of Ammonia As Marine Fuel, Alessandro Schönborn

Articles

The ignition of ammonia in aqueous solution was simulated in a two-stroke compression ignition engine model. Zero-dimensional chemical kinetic calculations were used to estimate the ignition timing of fuel air mixtures in homogeneous charge compression ignition and diesel combustion modes. The fuel consisted of a 25% m/m aqueous solution of ammonia and pure ammonia for comparison. Ignition was studied by varying the geometric compression ratio of the engine. To ignite ammonia in aqueous solution a minimum compression ratio of 25 was necessary under homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion conditions, whereas under diesel combustion conditions a minimum compression ratio of 27 …


Enhancing Oil Spill Response Capacities In The South Baltic Sea Region Via Cross-Border Utilization Of Biodegradable Oil Binders, Dimitrios Dalaklis, Anastasia Christodoulou, Henrik Nilsson, Jennie Larsson, Anne Pazaver Apr 2020

Enhancing Oil Spill Response Capacities In The South Baltic Sea Region Via Cross-Border Utilization Of Biodegradable Oil Binders, Dimitrios Dalaklis, Anastasia Christodoulou, Henrik Nilsson, Jennie Larsson, Anne Pazaver

Articles

Occurrences of oil spills are responsible for very significant environmental degradation; they are more likely to happen in areas with dense shipping traffic, or in the close vicinity of transport pipelines and/or other infrastructures used for production and processing purposes. Without international co-operation, individual countries often lack sufficient resources and assets to successfully respond to largescale oil spill incidents. This can be related to the vast quantities of oil involved in those incidents, or the lack of necessary special equipment for dealing with the tasks at hand by the country under the need to respond. For the successful resolution of …

A “Net-Centric” Conduct Of Navigation And Ship Management, Dimitrios Dalaklis, Georgios Katsoulis, Momoko Kitada, Jens-Uwe Schröder-Hinrichs, Aykut I. Ölcer Jan 2020

A “Net-Centric” Conduct Of Navigation And Ship Management, Dimitrios Dalaklis, Georgios Katsoulis, Momoko Kitada, Jens-Uwe Schröder-Hinrichs, Aykut I. Ölcer

Articles

Following the so-called “Industrial Revolution”, the shipping industry has benefitted from a very extended number of technology innovations. Over time, shipbuilding practices and the equipment of ships have been significantly improved. Furthermore,

during the last couple of decades, the continuous improvement and integration- interconnection of electronics systems (the “network-centric” approach), have created

a new operating environment for shipping. It is therefore not a coincidence that recent discussions on digitalization and autonomous ships provide a disruptive picture of how this industry may be transformed in the near future. Contemporary sea-going vessels are equipped with various technologically advanced systems and are highly …
