SHIPS PROPULSIVE PLANTS ECONOMICAL EFFICIENCY CRITERION

One of the main principles of the ship system design is the combination of the economic interests of the ship Owner with those of the ship Manufacturer. In substance, it is a process for searching of compromise solutions which provide its maximum operating efficiency at the same time complying with the enormous but contradictory requirements ref its quality. Modern ship appears to be a complex system of mutually connected subsystems. The main purpose when they are designed is reaching of a maximum technical perfectness within the limits of the conditions which are put upon for a high economic efficiency of ship as a system of greater hierarchical level. For its performance it is necessary for the designer to have at his disposal convenient methodic and program means. The necessity of such means exists when designing a ship power unit as well, since its characteristics, to a large scale, define the quality and the operating efficiency of ship. An attempt is made to create a system of criteria for estimating the ship propulsive plants which are to comply with the following requirements: - logic discrepancies absence (logic argumentation), - simplicity and clearness of the mathematical expression. - possibility for building in complex computing systems.
