The present study deals with the computational simulation of a marine four-stroke dual-fuel engine, working both in diesel and natural gas modes, with a particular focus on the turbocharger system behaviour. The engine model, developed by the authors, was implemented as a computer code and used to compare the performance of the engine when...

From the working data of a dual-fuel marine engine, in this paper, we optimized and compared two waste-heat-recovery single-pressure steam plants—the first characterized by a saturated-steam Rankine cycle, the other by a superheated-steam cycle–using suitably developed simulation models. The objective was to improve the recovered heat from the...
