Highly increased fuel prices and the need for greenhouse emissions reduction from diesel engines used in marine engines in compliance with International Maritime Organization (IMO) on the strict regulations and guidelines for the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) make diesel engine exhaust gas heat recovery technologies attractive. The recovery and utilization of waste heat not only conserves fuel, but also reduces the amount of waste heat and greenhouse gases dumped to the environment .The present paper deals with the use of exergy as an efficient tool to measure the quantity and quality of energy extracted from waste heat exhaust gases in a marine diesel engine. This analysis is utilized to identify the sources of losses in useful energy within the components of the system for three different configurations of waste heat recovery system considered. The second law efficiency and the exergy destroyed of the components are investigated to show the performance of the system in order to select the most efficient waste heat recovery system. The effects of ambient temperature are also investigated in order to see how the system performance changes with the change of ambient temperature. The results of the analysis show that in all of the three different cases the boiler is the main source of exergy destruction and the site of dominant irreversibility in the whole system it accounts alone for (31-52%) of losses in the system followed by steam turbine and gas turbine each accounting for 13.5-27.5% and 5.5-15% respectively. Case 1 waste heat recovery system has the highest exergetic efficiency and case 3 has the least exergetic efficiency.

As international oil price rise rapidly, the proportion of the fuel cost share of the transport cost has become increasingly high. At the same time, in order to reduce CO2 emission, the meeting of MPEC formulated and adopted the resolution on EEDI, so saving energy and reducing emission has become a marine industry benchmark. In this paper, through the study on marine diesel engine waste heat recovery system with multi-stage flash, establishing the universal model of multi-stage flash unit, and optimizing the parameters of the low-temperature waste heat recovery system with multi-stage flash. This paper constructs the power equation in matrix model, and each matrix of the model has a simple rule to be filled in, which make it versatile, and suitable for computerization, through estimating the power generation and CO2 emission reduction of the system on main diesel engine different loads, analyzing the waste heat recovery system with economic method finally.

Diesel engine is the main power of the marine vessel, its thermal efficiency is the highest in all thermodynamic engines, but still more than 50% of the energy is not being used, so making full use of the waste heat of the main diesel engine scientifically and effectively, not only reduce the fuel consumption and the shipping cost, but also reduce the value of the ship EEDI effectively. To be able to design and transform the green ship, thermodynamic analyzing of the ship power plant and master the energy utilization of each part is necessary. Raising the efficiency of an energy system is within the domain of thermodynamics. Raising the efficiency cost-effectively (thermo-economics) is a multi-disciplinary problem in which thermodynamics interfaces other disciplines of knowledge which in this particular case are design, manufacture and economics. In this paper, it introduces the analysis method of thermo-economics briefly, the thermal economic analysis of the marine diesel engine waste heat recovery system is taken based on matrix model thermo-economics, and the unit exergetic cost is calculated. Some thermal equipments of the system are showed with the result of the performance evaluation. The results shows that thermo-economics is a promising tool for the analysis of complex energy systems. This method also provides a great prospect for energy system optimizations.
