Ballast water treatment using waste heat from propulsion Engines-system simulation and experimental study

Abstract

The master thesis aims to test and simulate a new efficient ballast water treatment system. The simulation part will combined with ship machinery system and ballast water treatment system. The experiment part will focus on the analysis of heat transfer with different volume flow. Finally to acquire the optimized temperature, which not only effectively kill the bacteria but also save the energy. On the other hand, the machinery system models were tested with vessel behavior models to improve the accuracy.

* Heating transfer analysis combined simulation * Experiment test result analysis * BWT and propulsion system simulation * Vessel behavior simulation combined with machinery system

From the simulation result based on heat transfer experiment. The whole process will be simulated in the 20sim to define the key heat transfer parameters. Then the whole WHR system will combined propulsion system for overall simulation.
