Abstract

This study explores strategies to enhance the efficiency of marine technical equipment through the adoption of low-sulfur marine fuels. The investigation incorporates a comprehensive analysis, encompassing enthalpy change calculations and thermal efficiency estimates at various temperature differentials. These calculations shed light on the impact of the specific heat capacity of low sulfur marine fuels, a crucial factor in understanding combustion characteristics. Furthermore, provides an assessment of the efficiency of converting heat to mechanical energy, offering valuable insights for optimizing equipment performance. The outcomes of this research contribute to a broader strategy aimed at bolstering the environmental sustainability and efficiency of marine propulsion systems. By scrutinizing the utilization of low sulfur marine fuels, the study seeks to inform decision-making processes by pinpointing temperature ranges that maximize efficiency. The findings also highlight areas with potential for improvement in the performance of marine diesel engines. This holistic approach is integral to fostering advancements in both environmental responsibility and operational effectiveness within the maritime industry.
