AU3028 Marine Vehicles Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

The objective of this course is to provide the students with a basic knowledge about various types, design and development of marine vehicles

UNIT I MARINE VEHICLES

Types – general – by function – commercial marine vehicles- passenger ship, cargo ships, oil and chemical tankers , cattle carriers, harbor crafts, off shore platform, container ships, reefers and gas carriers

UNIT II REMOTELY OPERABLE VEHICLE (ROV), UMS SHIPS

Remotely Operable Vehicles (ROV) – The ROV business – Design theory and standards – control and simulation – design and stability – components of ROV – applications, UMS operation, and controls, submersibles types – applications, Autonomous Underwater Vehicle AUV – Design and construction considerations – components – sensors – Navigation -control strategies – applications

UNIT III MANNED AND UN MANNED SUBMERSIBLE

Introduction – Design and operational consideration – pressure hull exo-structure – ballasting and trim – maneuvering and control – Life support and habitability – emergency devices and equipment’s – certification and classification, towed vehicles – gliders – crawler – Design and construction

UNIT IV MOTION OF SHIPS & FLOATING SYSTEMS

Ship motions – co-ordinate systems, 6 dof, uncoupled and coupled equation of motion; hydrodynamic coefficients; wave excitation – summary of wave theory, dispersion relation, wavepressure, velocity, acceleration; encounter frequency; motion damping effects, magnificationand tuning factors. Ship responses in regular waves. Ship controllability fundamentals – the control loop, motion stability, linear equations of motion, stability indices; Stability and control in the horizontal and vertical planes

UNIT V MARINE POWER PLANT

Marine Diesel Engines – Low speed and medium speed engines – Auxiliary engines –Marine Nuclear power installation – Principles of operation of Atomic Reactors – Different types of Reactors – Use of Nuclear reactors in sea going vessels Marine Turbines – Steam turbine Classification based on impulse and reaction principles – Flow thro’ blade passages ,Marine gas turbines – Practical cycles and shaft arrangements – Power turbine – Applications
