Abstract

This paper presents a calculation method to determine optimum operating conditions of power plants installations with internal combustion engines used on ships. The scope of this document is to make a minimum fuel consumption calculation using software Engineering Equation Solver. Analysing several operating regimes, the specific consumption of heavy fuel used on the main engine of the oil tanker is calculated. Vessel must operate at the parameters for which it was designed and built, thus satisfying all technical and economic aspects.
