Diesel engine parameter prediction became a topic of interest in recent years, along with the
development of condition-based maintenance, and is now considered a key instrument for …

Marine incidents given in recent years have been in part caused by propulsion issues. In this
context, incipient propulsion faults may be identified by deviations between real values and …

A numerical optimization model is developed to simulate the performance of a large four-
stroke marine turbocharged diesel engine along the entire operating range by finding the …

This paper introduces an innovative decision support system for improving ship energy
efficiency. It combines an engine optimization model and an artificial neural network (ANN) …

Diesel engines are becoming more popular owing to their low fuel consumption and low
emissions. The performance and emissions of diesel engines are strictly influenced by the …

An optimization tool is developed to simulate the performance of a marine propulsion system
