PL1: Combustion engines and Diesel engines. |
Study of the operation of combustion engines and marine Diesel engines. |
PL3: 4-stroke engines. |
Study and analysis of the operation of 4-stroke engines. For this, students will work in groups disassembling 4-stroke engines with the available tools. |
PL5: Resistance and propulsion of a ship. |
Study and analysis of the parameters that affect the drag of a ship and how it affects the ship's propulsion. |
PL7: Vessel auxiliary systems. |
Parameterization and operation of various auxiliary systems on ships. For example, analysing the configuration and operation of the electrical installations in warships, as well as the process of connection and disconnection to ground current. |
