Computer based selection and performance analysis of marine diesel engine

Abstract

The major steps in two-stroke diesel technology have been surprisingly few over the past century, now we have another major step – electronically controlled marine diesel engines. This paper will discuss how the use of computer helps to select diesel engines, compare between different types, increase the performance of the conventional diesel engines and generate the different performance curves for such engines.
