Solution Naval Numerical 11

Numerical 11: A ship of 14900 tonne displacement has a shaft power of 4460 Kw at 14.55 knots. The shaft power is reduced to 4120 kW and the fuel consumption at the same displacement is 541 kg/h. Calculate the fuel coefficient for the ship.
Solution:(A)
(B). Given that 
Δ = 14900 tonne 
sp1 = 4460 kW
V1 = 14.55 knots.
sp2 =4120 kW
C = 541 kg/hr
Fuel coeff.=?

We require to find V2.
Using the relation,


V2=14.17knots

Now at 14.17knots,
fuel consumption =541kg/hr
We know that fuel consumption/day
the consumption in tonne per day = 541 x 24/1000
=12.98tonne/day 

thus, the fuel coefficient is

Fuel coefficient = 132700.
