2 May Presentation - JOINT STUDENT PAPERS NIGHT:
Papers and Subjects
I
“Initial Design of Stevens' Entry That Sinking Feeling for Human-Powered Submarine Race”
Authors:
Alex Pollara - Stevens Institute of Technology
James Galante - Stevens Institute of Technology
Overview:
An initial design for a Stevens sponsored entry to be constructed for the 12th International Human Powered Submarine Races is presented. A design philosophy based on observations of two previous ISR's is outlined. From this philosophy a breakdown of the general systems and sub-systems of a human powered submarine is developed and ideal design team and design schedules are described. From this point a specific design for the submarine is proposed and the method of design and performance estimation is described.
II
“Preliminary Design of an Anti-Piracy Vessel”
Authors:
Mallory Swanson - Stevens Institute of Technology
Brandon Faubert - Stevens Institute of Technology
Kyle Ingram - Stevens Institute of Technology
Overview:
Piracy is a prominent threat to US assets being shipped across the world. Areas such as Somalia experience threats on a weekly basis. Currently the US Navy is lacking in Patrol Craft due to the recent decommissioning of the Cyclone Class Patrol Boats. This paper describes the reality of the piracy threat and analyzes the best way to combat them while complying with all Maritime Laws. It also includes an Anti-Piracy Vessel Design.
The Anti-Piracy Vessel design is described with drawings and is a proven design. The hullform has been model tested, and included in this paper is the analysis of the stability, structure, and seakeeping. All arrangements and weapon systems have been designed with the anti-piracy mission in mind, but the vessel is also capable of operating as a Patrol Craft without the extra systems.
III
“The Design and Development of Heat Recovery Steam Generation System”
Author:
M/N Daniel Chin - United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA)
Overview:
The development of modern marine engineering plants has changed in recent years to meet new and changing demands for design and operation. Merchant vessels today are larger, more computerized and are subject to more stringent environmental regulations than ever before. New plant designs must be able to meet these demands in a manner that remains economically competitive in the face of increasing bunker costs.
One plant design that has become more economical in recent years is the COmbined Gas turbine And Steam (COGAS) propulsion system, which until now has been largely limited to cruise vessels and shore-based power generation systems. Integral to the COGAS plant is a heat recovery steam generation (HRSG) system which uses heat from the exhaust gasses to generate steam for heating and electrical generation. The design and development of the HRSG and its support systems is the subject of this presentation.
This presentation examines the application of COGAS systems on an 18,000 TEU containership comparable to the Maersk Triple-E class vessels currently under construction. In addition, the paper describes design approach that was used, an explanation of why the final arrangement was chosen, what other alternatives were considered, and analyzes how COGAS propulsion can be adapted to other merchant vessels.
IV
“The Design, Construction & Testing of a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell”
Authors:
Leland J. Boltz - Webb Institute
Allan S. Childers - Webb Institute
Overview:
The recent re-emergence of focus on green energy and stricter emissions controls, coupled with rising fuel costs and research in improved catalysis materials, has brought about a renewed interest in fuel cells. The Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell, or PEMFC, shows significant promise as a potential large-scale commercial power source and demonstrates significant advantages over many other types of fuel cells. The low temperature operation, high power density, and ever decreasing cost of production points to this technology’s potentially reaching a competitive level with other power generation techniques. Endeavoring to give future Webb Institute students access to this emerging technology, a PEMFC was designed, built and tested for use as an educational and laboratory device. The cell is capable of producing 72W (15A, 4.8V DC) at full load and can run continuously for over 100 hours on a size 7, grade 5 hydrogen cylinder.
