Energy conservation for propulsion of naval vessels. [Combined gas end steam (COGAS) propulsion]

Journal Article · · Nav. Eng. J.; (United States)
The merits of COGAS (Combined Gas and Steam) systems for US Navy Surface Ships are examined. Ship impact studies and ''trade-off'' evaluations are given. The results show that ultimate fuel consumption rates of 0.28 lbs./BHP-HR at full power may be achieved, using large, efficient gas turbine units. 5 refs.
