Enhancing Reliability of Ship Propulsion System using Markov Model
Keywords:
Markov model, Propulsion & Auxiliary machinery, Availability and Reliability.Abstract
Ships trade internationally, transporting cargo on a large scale, which is several thousand times more than the cargo carried through any other mode of transport from one destination to another, with unfailing operation of propulsion and essential machinery. This makes it imperative that propulsion as well as auxiliary machinery should be always available in a good condition. The availability in fact is a direct measure of how reliable the machinery is.
This paper presents applicability of time-homogenous Markov processes to fuel oil systems, for marine diesel engines running on heavy fuel oils. We determine the limiting distribution of the process of the changes of technical states of fuel systems and hence calculate the reliability and availability of the System. The proposed study of this process includes eight components of fuel oil system, which constitutes eight states and a transition state model has been developed.
Numerical study has been carried out to analyze the stationary probabilities and limiting distribution of the process.
