Q8. A. Describe the procedure for speed, Power and fuel consumption trials. B. An oil tanker has LBP 142m, beam 18.8m and draught 8m. It displaces 17000 tonne in seawater of 1.025 1/m3. The face pitch ratio of the propeller is 0.673 and the diameter 4.8m. The results of the speed final show that the true slip may be regarded as constant over a range of speeds of 9 to 12 knots and is 35% the wake fraction may be calculated from the equation: W=0.5Cb = 0.05. If the vessel uses 20 tonne of fuel per day at 12 knots and the consumption varies as speed. Find the consumption per day at 100 rev/min.

Q9. A ship of 6000 tonne displacement has a wetted surface area of 2500 m2 and a speed of 15 knots. Calculate the corresponding speed and wetted surface area of as similar ship of 2000 tonne displacement. (i) If the ship resistance is of the form R=0.45 S V1.83 N; find the resistance of the 6000 tonne Ship.
Q9: A. Explain how trim occurs, and explain the effect of trim on tank soundings. B. A ship 150 metres long arrives at the mouth of a river with drafts 5.5m. F and 6.3m A MCT 1 cm. 200 tonnes-m. TPC 15 tonnes. Centre of flotation is 1.5m. aft of amidships. The ship has then to proceed up the river where the maximum draft permissible is 6.2m. It is decided that SW ballast will be run into the forepeak tank to reduce the draft aft to 6.2m. If the canter of gravity of the forepeak tank is 60 metres forward of the center of flotation, find the minimum amount of water which must be run in and also find the final draft forward.
Q8. (a) Explain what is meant by left and right handed propellers, and also explain the rotation of propellers in a twin-screw ship.
b) A ship 120m long displaces 8000 tonne, GML is 102m, TPC 17.5 and LCF 2m aft of midships. It arrives in port with draughts of 6.3m forward and 6.6m aft.
During the voyage the following changes in loading have taken place:
Fuel used 200 tonne 18m forward of midships
Water used 100 tonne 3m aft of midships
Stores used 10 tonne 9m aft of midships
Ballast added 300 tonne 24m forward of midships
Calculate the original draughts. (10)
Q10. A. What is back emf? Derive the relation for the back emf and the supplied voltage in terms of armature resistance. (6)
B. Find the synchronous impedance reactance of an alternator in which a given field current produces an armature current of 200 A on short circuit and a generated e.m.f. of 50V on open circuit. The armature resistance is 0.1 ohm. To what induced voltage must the alternator be excited if it is to deliver a load of 100A at a p.f of 0.8 lagging, with a terminal voltage of 200V. (10)
Q7. A. Explain how to distinguish between list and loll and describe how to return the ship to the upright in each case. (6)
B. A ship 120m long has a light displacement of 4000 tonne and LCG in this condition 2.5m aft of midships. (10)
The following items are then added:
Cargo 10000 tonne LCG 3.0 m forward of midships
Fuel 1500 tonne LCG 2.0 m aft of midships
Water 400 tonne LCG 8.0 m aft of midships
Stores 100 tonne LCG 10.0m forward of midships
Using the following hydrostatic data, calculate the final draughts:
Draught (m) --- Displacement (t) --- MCTI cm (tm) --- LCB from midships (m) --- LCF from midships (m) 8.50 ---------- 16650 -------------- 183 ------------ 1.94 F ------------------ 1.20A 8.00 ---------- 15350 -------------- 175 ------------ 2.10 F ------------------ 0.60F
Q9. A hopper barge of box form 50 m long and 10 m wide floats at a draught of 2 m in seawater when the hopper, which is 15 m long and 5 m wide, is loaded with mud having relative density twice that of the seawater, to the level of the waterline. Doors in the bottom of the hopper are now opened allowing the mud to be discharged. Calculate the new draught. (16)
