In this paper, an evolutionary neural networks model is proposed to predict the content of metal elements contained in marine diesel engine lubricating oil, by fusing genetic algorithms (GAs) and error back propagation neural network (BPNN) to offset the demerits of one paradigm by the merits of another. The input data of metal content was detected by spectrometric analysis. Genetic algorithms are used to globally optimize the weights and threshold of BP neural networks. Moreover, one case study was presented to illustrate the proposed method. The prediction accuracy of the novel method is compared with that of only BPNN method to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method. The relative error on average of results is 1.52%, it can meet the precision request of state detecting in marine diesel engine.

The paper comprises brief descriptions of three distinctive types of marine Diesel engine, and some expressions of opinion upon a number of matters of current interest. The types considered are double-acting, two-stroke engines; single-acting, two-stroke, crosshead engines; and single-acting, two-stroke, trunk engines. The author restricts his remarks to some of the engine types with which, for many years past, his work has lain. Some matters of detail dealt with are the timing of cylinder lubricators, piston rings, pistons and liners, piston rod stuffing boxes, piston rod scraper boxes, feed pumps and valves, scavenge blowers and lubricating oil systems. Indicated horse-power and mechanical efficiency also find a place, together with crankcase safety precautions, vibration and noise, and materials of construction. The author also deals with surface finish, the effect of design changes upon maintenance, the use of lower-grade fuel oils, scavenging, and engine rating, and concludes with a reference to the comparison of Diesel and steam machinery and tables of typical sea-service results of a 6,000 s.h.p., double-acting, two-stroke engine.

The piston ring is one of the most important parts of a two-stroke marine diesel engine. It is lubricated by a special mode in which the lubricating oil is directly injected into the liner’s inner surface. In this article, taking account of the oil supply, a piston ring lubrication model is developed based on oil mass conservation. The lubrication region of this piston ring–cylinder liner is divided into inlet, core lubrication, and outlet regions, with the oil supply being converted into an oil film. The impact of the width of the core lubrication region on squeezing of the oil is considered. To verify the model, friction force measurements are performed in a reciprocating bench test under fully flooded conditions, and the model is further validated by comparing the minimum oil film thickness with data from the literature. The model is applied to the top ring of a two-stroke marine diesel engine, and the impacts of the oil supply and its design parameters are analyzed.
