Power Prediction for Bulk Carrier Design

This document provides instructions for predicting the power requirements of a bulk carrier ship with a service speed of 15 knots. It outlines a multi-step process to: 1) determine the vessel dimensions and scale factors needed to use standard prediction models, 2) interpolate resistance and power coefficients from tables, 3) calculate total resistance and effective power at various speeds, and 4) apply sea margin factors to determine trial and service power requirements. The results should then be plotted in a spreadsheet and a sample speed calculation included in a report.

Preliminary prediction of power for:

A single screw bulk carrier 15 knot service speed

The contract requires that on a fully loaded trial the ship achieves a speed 1 knot greater than the required service speed with the engines developing 85% MCP Plot

Vessel Particulars

LBP = 135.34m B = 19.30m T = 9.16m CB = 0.704

Enter your speed and deadweight into NEWAT2 to obtain these values

Vessel Particulars LBP = 135.34m B = 19.30m T = 9.16m CB = 0.704 Convert to feet LBP = 444.03 feet B = 63.32 feet T = 30.05 feet CB = 0.704

Take GREAT care with your units

Stage 1 - Effective Power Prediction


Objective - use average C values to estimate PE for trial and service condition Note: For the C notation you may use (C), or C ITTC standard notation is C c and will be adopted here
Rod Sampson - School of Marine Science and Technology

Stage 1 - Effective Power Prediction


Specify a speed range which includes the trial and service speeds e.g. 2kn of the trial speed
Vs(trial) = Vs(service) + 1knot Vs range = Vs(trial) 2knots

= 16 knots = 14 ~ 18 knots

Rod Sampson - School of Marine Science and Technology

Vs range = Vs(trial) 2knots

= 14 ~ 18 knots = 0.664 ~ 0.854

Vs L

knot feet

14 18 = 444.03

Therefore range is 0.65 ~ 0.85

Rod Sampson - School of Marine Science and Technology

It is not important to use exact speed values in knots


Vs Use the range for the speed L

This will avoid double interpolation in your method causing an error. It is also SIMPLER to use

A basic report is required for the assignment. Take 1 speed e.g close to your design speed and provide a worked example for this speed showing how you generated the spreadsheet If you make an error (very easy on this assignment) the worked example should provide method marks ensuring a good grade
