Reanalysis of the revised EEDI parameters for inland ships of Bangladesh S. M. Rashidul Hasan, Md. Mashud Karim Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part M Journal of Engineering for the Maritime Environment, 2023 A revision of the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) formulation was previously proposed to be useful for inland ships of Bangladesh. The study incorporated the shallow water effect using Schlichting’s method which has been developed in 1934 based on a large number of ship model tests to show how a ship’s resistance in shallow water deviates from that in deep water. However, the evaluation and presentation of Schlichting’s results did not cover all range of ship parameters. This reanalysis has considered the shallow water effect by actual measurement of 15 inland ships of Bangladesh. Later, the results of Schlichting’s method were compared with (a) actual investigation, (b) an improved version of Schlichting’s method proposed by Lackenby in 1963, and (c) a new method proposed by C B Barrass in 2004. It was found that the deviations of Schlichting’s results are much higher than Lackenby and Barrass’s methods in comparison to the investigated results. In a previous analysis of the inland ships of Bangladesh, the Maximum Continuous Rating (MCR) of the main engine was considered by using the Holtrop-Mennen method. As this method requires too much ship data, that analysis had assumed some unknown required ship data. This reanalysis has overcome that problem by the physical investigations of the same 15 inland ships of Bangladesh. The average MCR for inland cargo ships and oil tankers of Bangladesh are measured as 70% by the investigations, whereas it is 80% for passenger ships.
Mixed Convective Heat Transfer Analysis by Heatlines on a Lid-Driven Cavity Having Heated Wavy Wall Containing Tilted Square Obstacle Md. Yousuf Ali, M. A. Alim, Md. Mashud Karim Mathematical Problems in Engineering, 2023 The current problem studies the mixed convective heat transport by heatlines in lid‐driven cavity having wavy heated walls with two diamond‐shaped obstacles. The left and right vertical walls are both cold, whereas the top wall is adiabatic, and the bottom wavy wall is heated. The relevant governing equation has been calculated through using the finite element method as well as the Galerkin weighted residual approach. The implications of the Reynolds number (10 ≤ Re ≤ 500), Richardson number (0.01 ≤ Ri ≤ 10), Hartman number (0 ≤ Ha ≤ 100), Prandtl number (0.015 ≤ Pr ≤ 10), Undulations number (1 ≤ N ≤ 4), and inner diamond shape obstacle are depicted by the streamlines, isotherms, and the heatlines. The convection heat transfer is observed to be fully developed at a high Prandtl number, whereas heat conduction happens at poor Pr. In particular, the undulations number has the greatest effect on the streamlines and isotherm contrast to a flat area. The Nusselt numbers increase as the Reynolds and Prandtl numbers rise as well. The isotherm, streamlines, heatlines, Nusselt number, and fluid flow are shown graphically for several relevant dimensionless parameters. The result demonstrates that a single oscillation of a heated wall with such a poor Richardson number is optimal heat transport in the cavity. The presence of undulations minimizes the cavity area; the case N = 3 makes quicker fluid motions and better heat transfer in the present research. Additionally, the interior obstacle size reduces the amount of space it takes up within the wavy cavity, and it was observed that the obstacle with diamond size D = 0.15 is better than that with any other size.
