In class, we discussed a Generic Lube Oil System. Fuel Oil Service Pump 2. Fuel Oil Service Tank 3. Fuel Oil Transfer Pump 4. The vapor compression type distilling plant has been used for years in submarines.
Water is a precious commodity at sea.
Scullery Laundry Explain how a reverse osmosis desalination plant works. Start with seawater input and finish with the discharge of brine and distillate. As part of your discussion, explain how what we studied in thermodynamics and pressure, volume, temperature relationships are used to make the system work. RO units require only electrical power to operate and, therefore, are well suited to both diesel and gas turbine ships. One major advantage of reverse osmosis is that pure water is made within 5 minutes of system start up, which is much faster than other systems.
