Engine power developed =(P*L*A*n*k) of one cy) X no of cylinders.
multiply and divide by (2R) where R is the radius of piston =
P*(L/2R)*A*n*k*2R = P*(Stroke/Bore)*A*n*2R Hence total power
1 Stroke / Bore Ratio increases as stroke/bore ratio increases. And obviously power reduces
when no of cylinders reduces. Also, bearing friction reduces as
stroke/bore ratio increases.

Mixture is collected in soot collecting tank. D tank has heating coils(steam). Once

d soot. Apart from dat during washing a jute bag is attached to the pipe opening
of soot through which some amount of soot separation takes place. Apart from all
dis v have a connection to bilge tank. But we seldom use it as it creates trouble for
ows. Also in case of tank rupturing d content of tank could be transferred to bilge
tank.

9 VIT & supet VIT difference and how it works
by calculating scoc and comparing it with shop trial reports
Before the Super VIT was introduced variable injection timing was obtained by
means of a special profile on the fuel pump plunger. Hence there was a fixed
relationship between the injection timing and the fuel index. Thus it was not
possible to adjust the fuel index of the individual pumps without also altering the
injection timing. For this reason the Super VIT was introduced, where it is possible
to adjust the fuel index and the injection timing independently.
Both do the same function of maintaining pmax after the break point. Only
difference between the two is that VIT has a fixed break point which is usually 85%
load and super-VIT had variable break point... Means break point can be changed
from 85%............................................................... but why the break point is to be
adjusted? Well before that let me explain break point, it is the reduction of vit index
at a specified load lets say at 85%mcr after that vit index reduces. As is in fuel rack
there is an index on how much fuel is being pumped (you can see that in fuel
rack) , just like that; vit index is the adjustment in fuel timing (advancing or
retarding). So in VIT this break point is fixed may be at 85%; but in SVIT it can be
adjusted these are adjusted electronically; the adjustment of break point depends
on scavenge air pressure.Nowadays all man b&w have svit i guess

150 what is the capacity of ur air bottle? Regulations and he asked safety too
151 what is ums checklist, he told me dat, now u r 4th engr coming to engine room for ums round, tell me procedure one by one.

what is the purpose of puncture valve, how it will activates,…..Then he asked,, even in running time of main engine at sea, air is present on
152
top of the puncture valve but why it is not activating???

in steam hammering..the steam goes to the cold pipe which is having condensate
153 what is mean by steam hammer?.....what is mean by water hammer? inside and not been drained..so when it goes in it cools down and form water
rapidly which lowers the pressure in at that spot and the condensate which was not
drained fully get sucked on to that place and bang the walls of the pipe..thats steam
hammering but water hammering is when a valve(other then steam)is opened and
pressure is high like water from a pump and that water hits the bends of the pipe
creating noise and damage to the pipe..

154 why gudgeon pin floating type in engine but not in compressor?? In air comp the c'shaft is driving the piston in all strokes,but in case of AE c'shaft is
driving the piston in all strokes except power stroke,where the piston now drives the
crankshaft.So the sudden change in direction of force can cause an IMPACT
LOADING on the pin if it is floating due to clearance in AE piston

157 Why would there be rpm fluctuations in case of scavenge fires? In scavenge fire, there will b less air available for scavenging, n thus the Pmax will
b less, in short, power will b less so the firing will affect n the crankshaft movement
will Fluctuate.. thus rpm will fluctuate in accordance.

in mitsubishi selfjector purifier....upper bearing is supported by spring.....lower part

178 Bearings used in purifier? has 2 bearing....The higher one is roller type....and below that a thrust
bearing.....The lower two are immersed in oil in the gear case....The direction of the
thrust bearing is important. ....If placed up side down then it will go off in 10 min.
thus in the vertical shaft total 3 bearings. Horizontal shaft is
supported by two ball bearing or roller bearing at the two ends.
Vertical shaft contains three bearings.Two bearings at the extreme ends are roller
or ball bearings.The upper bearing containing the shaft is made radially stable by
the spring loaded assembly,which is responsible for the vertical inclination of
vertical shaft.The next lower bearing is an angular bearing to support the shaft
axially and counteract the thrust force.

179 positive cam and negative cam differences..? when the movement of roller is upwards for actuation, then its positive cam. and
when roller moves downwards then its a negative cam. for example fuel cam is
positive cam and start air distributor is negative cam.

To positively shut ofc pilot air to starting vv...& also a negative cam wont be in
180 why a negative cam is used instead of positive cam contact of rollers the tym of whole engine operation (when start air is cut off)...thus
reducing its wear In negative cam at the working face of cam the
follower or valve will act in downward direction as in case of starting air distributer
whrere pilot valve actuate in downward direction and it shuts because of spring
pressure in case spring fails negative cam will positively shut it. snd in normal
operation its no more in contact with valve rod so reduces cam's wear and tear

SWITCH LEVEL 1:The steering system has two lube oil tank system with 2 rams
functioning on each system. Thelevel switch 1gives an initial alarm following a loss
of oil from either system. In normal operation one power unit provides hydraulic
power to all four rams.The causes for the loss of oil is mainly due to broken
hydraulic pipes and damage in the ram, thus the leakage oil drains to the bilge
well.SWITCH LEVEL 2:When no action is taken immediately upon the previous
alarm, the loss of oil continuesand over a period of time this loss of oil intiates one
or both of the level switches 2. This leads to the energization of a solenoid operated
servo valve causing a combined isolating valve and bypass valve to operate. Thus
splitting the system such thateach power unit supplies power to 2 rams only .At the
same time this switch automatically starts the other standby helesaw pump to assist
the turning and building up the pressure in the rams.SWITCH LEVEL 3:This switch
will get activated when there is still no further improvement in the loss of oil on the
faulty side. In such a situation thesteering continues un-interupted if one unitis
stopped and thus the rudder is turned with the help of the other unit system of 2
rams only, isolating the faulty one, and this is called as emergency steering.Thus
the steering system is designed to work at half of the maximum torque on
thesteering system.The defective system is put out of action and isolated.RELIEF
VALVE:A relief valve is fitted in the system to prevent over pressure in the hydraulic
255 what is steering system safety?
system due to shock loading of rudder. Shock loading of the rudder could occur in a
variety of cases such as bad weather.MANUAL BY PASS VALVE:This valve is only
operated when there is a failure of the one of the systems and the rudder stock has
to be turned mechanically, so that the ideal fluid can flow from the high pressure
side to low pressure side.LOW PRESSURE VALVE :Low pressure valve is a NON
RETURN VALVE fitted in the main hydraulic pressureline, which opens for oil filling
from a header tank if a low pressure situation occurs in the system .ELECTRICAL
STOPPER:It stops the hydraulic pump when the position of the rudder turning is at
an angleof 36o. It automatically cuts of the supply because it is the maximum
turning angle ofrudder. (It normally operates at 35oangle).MECHANICAL
STOPPER:In case of electrical stopper fails, the mechanical stopper is provided so
that it stops the tiller arm after 36oangle of rudderElectrical motor overload
alarmWhen ever hydraulic motor or helesaw pump motor draws excessive current
during bad weather, the steering should not fail. Instead it gives an alarm about
excessive current being drawn by the motor. Continued recurrence of this alarm
could mean that the electrical motor might burn up.POWER FAILURE ALARM:The
full power failure alarm will be raised if the power fails in black out condition.
Emergency power should be arranged with in 45 seconds and the emergency
generator must be capable to give power for at least 30 minutes for a big ship and
10min in case of small ships (ships<10,000 ton diaplacement).

The hole diameter decides the position of the interface. The bigger the internal
258 how gravity disc maintain interface
diameter, the farther is the interface. Vice versa. The farther is the interface the
poorer is the separation. It depends on the density of the oil being separated. The
denser the bigger internal diameter of GD required, the lighter the oil, the smaller
diameter of GD is required.

259 What is pitch of propeller when propeller is rotating in unyielding fluid, distance moved by fwd by ship in one
revolution of propeller

260 why auxiliary engine performance is not taken using indicator cards? This is because unlike a 2 stroke engine in 4 stroke engine the piston comes twice
to TDC in a cycle,so we cant take indicator cards ,and instead compression
pressure and combustion pressure is taken……………………… aux engines run at
higher rpm .. so the pressure fluctuations are so rapid that the stylus will not be able
to follow the pressure fluctuations due to inertia lag of the spring and the graph
obtained will not be a steady one unlike what u get in a 2 stroke ..

281 Type of main bearing lubrication, is that same in a/e and m/e.? Type is same hydrodynamic lubrication

282 even after pulling fuel rack to zero a/e not stopping ... reasons?? Fuel rack setting to zero is not proper so even if u bring it to zero position then also
fuel will continue to discharge..so it is not stopping ...close the fuel valve before the
pump and see if engine stops

283 Cylinder head leakage detecting methods? After overhauling, plug all the cooling water holes,fill the cooling space of cylinder
head by water and the filling hole with the flange containing pressure gauge and
filling air nozzle.lncrease the pressure to 1.5 times the working pressure by passing
air through the air nozzle and visually inspect the leak for water.

284 Why flywheel is provided at aft of the engine? Why not forward? Flywheel has to be put at the torque transmitting end .. That is why it is at the aft of
engine coz the power or torque istransmitted by the shaft at which it is installed for
dynamic balancing.

285 M/e& aux eng -nox emission is same or different? NOx emission for m/e and a/e are different..because peak pressure in both are

291 How will u come to know that air cooler tube is leaking while running? Leaking tubes can be a difficulty and will be noticed when the water is found in the
scavenge drain system. It must be confirmed that it is seawater and not
condensation due to humidity. Trassi
1. Reduce engine speed and air temperature before turbocharger to be
less than 65ºC 2. Cut off the cooling water and remove end covers 3.
Cover one end of tubes completely with a thick sheet of jointing. Apply
292 How to find the leaking air cooler tube while running? soap water at the other end. 4. Leaking tube will give off bubbles. 5.
Plug the leaking tube with wooden plugs or copper tapered plugs.

Trassi
 After identifying the damaged tube, the expanded part of the tube is shaved off on
both sides with a drill bit leaving about 5 mm in the tube plate. The tube-setting tool
is inserted into the shaved part of the tube and hit with the hammer. This way the
tube can be pushed out of the tube plate till the tube end is grasped with a wrench.
The whole length of the tube is pulled out with the help of a wrench. In case the
tube cannot be removed by this method, then expanded parts of both ends are
shaved off completely. The tube-setting tool is then used.
A spare tube is inserted into the tube hole
293 How to replace air cooler tubes?
and adjusted such that it exceeds the face of the tube plate by 1.5 mms on the
cooling water inlet side. The projected part of the tube is expanded with bell
expansion tool. This part of the tube would not be inserted into tube plate when the
tube expander is used. The tube expander is used with the help of a drill machine
or manually. The tube can be held on other side if the tube turns while expanding.
Pushing forward the tube expander to about 20/25 mms expands the tube. When
reversing the drill machine, the tube expander must be drawn out of the tube. After
expanding both ends, the tubes can be pressure tested.

Open valves in order (1), (2), (3), and close in reverse. The blow down valve
294 Boiler Blow down adjacent to the boiler (2) should be fully open to prevent cutting of the valve seating
faces. The rate of blow down is controlled by the second blow down valve (3).
Never leave the boiler unattended when blowing down and ensure all valves are
fully closed after blowing down. A hot drain pipe indicates a leaking blow down
valve. 1) Ship Side v/v 2)V/V attacthed to the
boiler shell 3) V/v adjacent to v/v no.2

Connecting the bottom of the furnace to the boiler shell plating is a seamless
295 What is Ogee Ring ‘Ogee’ ring. This ring is pressed out of thicker plating than the furnace; the greater
thickness is necessary since circulation in its vicinity is not as good as elsewhere in
the boiler and deposits can accumulate between it and the boiler shell plating. Hand
hole cleaning doors are provided around the circumference of the boiler in the
region of the ‘Ogee’ ring. ‘Tell-tale’ holes drilled at equal circumferential intervals in
the boiler shell enable leakage between the ‘Ogee’ ring and the boiler shell to be
detected.
1.High efficiency (generally greater than 85 %) hence reduced fuel
consumption. 2.Flexibility of design – important space consideration.
3.Capable of high output (i.e. high evaporation rate). 4.High pressures
and temperatures improve turbine plant efficiency. 5.Flexible in
operation to meet fluctuating demands of the plant – superheat control
rapidly responsive to changing demands. 6.Generally all surfaces are
circular hence no supporting stays are required. 7.Steam can be raised
rapidly from cold if the occasion demands (3 to 4 hours compared to 24
hours for smoke tube or fire tube boilers) because of the positive
circulation. 8.Consider a fire tube or smoke tube boiler and a water
296 Advantage of water tube boiler tube boiler with similar evaporation rates the water tube boiler would be
compact and relatively light by comparison and its water content would
be about 7 tonnes or less compared with the smoke tube or fire tube
boiler’s 30 tonnes. 9.With double casing radiation loss can be cut to 1
% or less.
 Unlike air compressors, it is common in reciprocating type refrigeration
compressors to take suction from crankcase. Outlet from the evaporator
coils is led to the compressor crankcase. There are a few advantages
with this design. 1.) Since crankcase is pressurized, no air can enter
the system. 2.) No refrigerant gas is wasted by even small blow
pasts from the compressor pistons. 3.) Refrigerant gas is miscible
297 Why Refrigeration Compressor Takes Suction from Crankcase with oil. This property helps the gas to bring the oil in the system back to
the compressor. In some designs, oil in the refrigerant gas drips inside
the crankcase before leading it for compression.

To calculate the clearance volume of a cylinder with concave or convex

piston crown, follow the steps below. 1.Keep the cylinder head intact
with cylinder jacket and check for proper tightening. If it is not properly
tightened, tighten it with a torque wrench as per the instruction manual.
2.Open the fuel injector or fuel valve from the cylinder head.
3.Bring the piston slightly off top dead center by means of a turning bar
or turning gear motor. 4.Take a known quantity of thicker oil and pour
it in to the cylinder head till the cylinder is full of oil up to the fuel
injector hole or any convenient level. Always use thicker oil because use
of very thin oil may leak through the piston ring clearance. 5.Record
the quantity of oil poured in to the cylinder and slowly turn the flywheel
so that the piston approaches TDC. Now the oil will start coming out from
the cylinder through the injector hole exactly till the time piston reaches
TDC. 6.Carefully collect the oil without spillage and measure the
expelled quantity (L) of oil. The difference of this measured quantity of oil
298 How to find out the clearance vol. of a convex shaped piston engine with the initial volume of oil poured will give the clearance volume of a
cylinder including the volume of the injector hole. Now the clearance
volume of a cylinder can be calculated by subtracting the fuel injector
hole volume, which can found mathematically by the diameter and the
height of the hole. Thus the clearance volume of a cylinder with an
irregular shape of a piston crown and cylinder head is calculated.
