During the Ship Propulsion Plants module the operating principles of marine propulsion for different types of ships will be presented, with particular attention to the aspects related to dynamics and control. Both the theoretical / methodological and practical aspects will be illustrated, with particular emphasis on advanced design and numerical / implementation aspects.
The course will cover the following topics: Engine-propeller matching for design and off design conditions, Marine waterjets performance maps, Selection criteria of the waterjet propulsion unit, Automation outline for propulsion systems with CP propellers and waterjets, Charter yachts rules for bilge system, Sizing of the main firefighting
The course aims to provide the students with advanced tools for the state-of-the-art design of complex propulsion systems, both from a technical and regulatory point of view. At the end of the module, the students will be able to independently evaluate different design solutions and propose new ones with an awareness of the physical principles that drive the dynamics of marine propulsion.
Upon completion of the course, the student should:
- describe the dynamics of complex propulsion systems by illustrating their principles;
- being able to apply the knowledge acquired to solve design problems with critical thinking.
- use technical language correctly.
- have developed self-learning skills that will enable them to independently investigate technologies at the frontier of the state of the art.
Knowledge of static methods for the design of marine propulsion. Basic knowledge of the principles of naval architecture. Principles of programming.
Classroom lectures and exercises, Industry expert workshops and educational visits. Classroom lectures and exercises, Industry expert workshops and educational visits. Students with valid certifications for Specific Learning Disorders (SLDs), disabilities or other educational needs are invited to contact the teacher and the School's disability liaison at the beginning of teaching to agree on possible teaching arrangements that, while respecting the teaching objectives, take into account individual learning patterns.
The program may be modified during the course.
Ricevimento: It is mandatory to book a time slot, through the service offered by Aula Web, on the course page you will find dates and times.

In accordance with UniGe timetable:https://corsi.unige.it/en/corsi/9268/studenti-orario
The exam consists in an oral dissertation, during which open questions will be asked to the student. The final grade will be the average of the grades from the individual questions. Online registration for exams is required, the exam calendar is available on www.unige.it. There are no extraordinary exam sessions.
The oral exam will verify the effective understanding of the discussed topics. The quality of the exposure, the correct use of the specialized vocabulary and the capacity of critical reasoning will be evaluated.
Ask the professor for other information not included in the teaching schedule.
