Aims
To develop knowledge and understanding of:
A1-Power plant and auxiliary systems relevant to both Marine and offshore industry.
A2-Scientific principles and subsequent application of marine thermal fluids and electric propulsion.
Outline Of Syllabus
Pumps and pumping systems: Types of pumps, piping systems (including valve types), basic design of pumping systems, Bilge and ballast systems and regulations, Steering systems.
Thermal Fluids: Thermal conduction and Convection, Heat transfer due to radiation, Heat transfer through cylinders and spheres, heat transfer using extended surfaces, Heat exchanger theory and performance.
Fluid flow: Jet theory, momentum equation, fluid flow in roto-dynamic machinery, flow in pipes, fluid flow and losses (gas and liquid).
Electrical: Three-phase power systems, marine electrical generation and distribution, load flow analysis, distribution components and protection, emergency power systems.
Marine Electric propulsion technology: Basic elements of an electric propulsion system, DC and AC electric motor operation and control, Power electronic devices and basic converter circuits, Basic propulsion control configurations.
Learning Outcomes
Intended Knowledge Outcomes
On completing this module, students will be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:
IKO1: Key shipboard systems including function, integration and related regulations.(C4)
IKO2: Thermal fluid and fluid mechanics in the context of heat exchangers and piping systems. (C4)
IKO3: The structure of a marine generation and distribution system. (C4)
IKO4: Different components in the marine electrical power system, including emergency power system and electrical machines. (C4)
On completion of this module, students will be able to demonstrate they know how to apply the above to analyse and evaluate marine and offshore engineering systems, and marine electric propulsion machines (C1, C2, C3).
Intended Skill Outcomes
On completing of this module students will be able to develop the following subject specific skills:
ISO1: Calculations for marine fluid flow and pumping systems, .and marine electric propulsion systems (C1, C2, C3).
ISO2: Recognise and identify the paths of power flow in a distribution network (C1, C2, C3).

Teaching Rationale And Relationship
The module will consist of online recordings and guided study materials with a mixture of lectures / tutorials to provide structured support for the students' learning. The structured online materials, covering both semesters will define the scope of each of the syllabus topics.
The independent study time is essential for students to work through the lecture material, in their own time and at their own pace.
Teaching materials will use a blended approach of recordings and notes provided online along with lecture sessions.

Formative Assessments
Formative Assessment is an assessment which develops your skills in being assessed, allows for you to receive feedback, and prepares you for being assessed. However, it does not count to your final mark.
| Description | Semester | When Set | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Computer assessment | 1 | M | Formative quiz set on Canvas |
Assessment Rationale And Relationship
The examination affords students the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge, understanding and possession of subject specific and key skills (IKO1-4 and ISO1-2). The ability to undertake graphical analysis and evaluation of numerical questions, literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking with regards to marine engineering systems and marine electric propulsion systems.
The quiz set on canvas enables the students to assess their understanding of the material in advance of the summative assessment.
