Greenlee, T L; Pearsons, J L

This volume summarizes the objectives, scope, and conclusions of an effort that was undertaken to develop and analyze a dynamic model/simulation of a coal-fired ship with steam turbine propulsion system. The General Dynamics CV-3600 self-unloading coal collier was used as the basis for this effort. The effort was jointly sponsored by General Dynamics and the U.S. Department of Transportation, Maritime Administration, for the purpose of investigating the responsiveness of coal-fired ships in maneuvering and in restricted-water operation. The volume concludes with a set of specification results that indicate the component/control system design trends that should be followed to obtain a rapidly responding coal-fired propulsion system.
