    This document contains an activity sheet from a marine engineering course. It includes 5 questions related to diesel engines and fuel systems: 1) Engine manufacturers can create more environmentally friendly engines through technologies that reduce emissions or use of alternative fuels like hybrid or electric. 2) Two-stroke engines generate power every revolution while four-stroke engines require two revolutions. Two-stroke engines are lighter with simpler reversing. 3) Advantages of slow-speed diesel engines include less weight per horsepower, greater power per cylinder, more uniform torque, and simpler cylinder heads.

    1.    In your own opinion, can the engine manufacturer create an engine that is
    environmental friendly? Support your answer.
    Yes, engine manufacturers can create engines that are more environmentally friendly by
    using advanced technologies to reduce harmful emissions or by using alternative fuels
    and power sources such as hybrid or electric engines.
    2.    What is the difference between two-stroke and four-stroke diesel engine?
    Two Stroke Engine
    Every revolution of the crankshaft generates 1 power stroke
    Lighter Flywheel
    Low/Medium speed Engines
    Simple reversing mechanism
    Slow response for Load changes
    Auxiliary Blowers are required
    Longer Stroke length
    Crosshead type Engines
    Four Stroke Engine
    Two revolutions of the crankshaft generate 1 power stroke.
    Heavier Flywheel
    High-Speed Engines
    Reversing is complicated
    Quick response for load changes
    Not required Auxiliary Blowers
    Shorter Stroke length
    Trunk type engines
     
    3.    What are the advantages of slow-speed diesel engine? Explain in your own
    understanding.
    advantages of slow-speed diesel engine are:
    Less weight and space per horsepower: Slow-speed diesel engines have a lower weight and
    size per horsepower output compared to other engines. This means that they can provide
    the same power output with a smaller and lighter engine, making them ideal for use in

    ships and other vehicles where weight and space are limited.
    Greater horsepower per cylinder: Slow-speed diesel engines have a larger cylinder size
    compared to other engines. This means that they can generate more power per cylinder,
    leading to greater efficiency and fuel economy.
    More uniform turning effect: The slow-speed of the engine means that the piston moves
    more slowly, providing a more uniform turning effect. This results in a smoother
    operation and less wear and tear on the engine.
    Less complicated cylinder head: Slow-speed diesel engines have a simpler cylinder head
    design, which makes them easier to maintain and repair. This reduces the cost of
    maintenance and ensures that the engine can operate for longer periods with minimal
    downtime.
    4.    Explain the causes of scavenge fire and how they are dealt with.
    Scavenge fire is a type of fire that occurs in the scavenging space of a two-stroke diesel
    engine. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
    Overheating of the scavenge air: If the temperature of the scavenge air is too high, it can
    ignite the fuel in the scavenge space, leading to a fire.
    Accumulation of oil or fuel in the scavenge space: If there is an accumulation of oil or fuel in the
    scavenge space, it can ignite and cause a fire.
    Leakage in the fuel or lubrication system: A leak in the fuel or lubrication system can cause
    fuel or oil to enter the scavenge space, leading to a fire.
    To deal with scavenge fires, the engine should be shut down immediately, and the fuel
    and air supply should be isolated. The crew should activate the fire extinguishing system,
    which is typically a CO2 flooding system, to flood the scavenge space with CO2 gas to
    extinguish the fire. The engine should be inspected thoroughly to identify the cause of the
    fire, and appropriate measures should be taken to prevent it from happening again.
    Regular maintenance and inspection of the engine can help to prevent scavenge fires
    from occurring.
    5.    Synthesize the fuel oil system from bunker storage tank up to injection of fuel into
    the engine cylinder.
    From the bunker barge, fuel is being delivered into the ship's storage tank. It is being
    heated up to 40°C and treated with additives. From storage, fuel oil is being transferred
    into the fuel settling tank using main fuel transfer pump. Fuel is being heated up to 70°c
    before passing through fuel oil purifier. After purification, fuel is now in fuel oil service
    tank. Fuel oil pass through flow meter and goes to mixing chamber, drawn by booster
    pump, passing thru a heater, fuel oil temperature raised up to 125°c. Fuel oil pass
    through viscosity regulator, then pass again to a heated filter before it reach the fuel

    injection pump. Fuel oil now pass through fuel injector where it delivered to the
    combustion chamber (cylinder of main engine) and power takes place.
