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.
