Predictions of oil/chemical tanker main design parameters using computational intelligence techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shipdesign and construction are complicated andexpensive processes. In thepre-design stage, before the construction according to some special rules, determination of the main ship parameters is very important. In this study, instead of traditional methods, the oil/chemical tanker main design parameters are estimated by 18 computational intelligence methods. Therefore, all the data of 114 tankers in operation are used in the experiments in order to estimate a parameter from the remaining ones. Main result of this article is to show that, except for the speed parameter, the main parameters of tankers can be estimated sufficiently well for pre-design stage without having to apply conventional but arduous ship modeling experiments. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملScheduling of Tanker Lightering via a Novel Continuous-Time Optimization Framework
The problem of scheduling a fleet of marine vessels for crude oil tanker lightering is addressed. A novel continuous-time mathematical formulation is developed on the basis of the concept of event points proposed in a formulation for short-term scheduling of chemical processes (Ierapetritou, M.

متن کاملAn oil outflow model for tanker collisions and groundings
In this paper we have developed an oil outflow model for collision and grounding accidents of tankers. The collision model explicitly links input variables such as tanker hull design (single or double), displacement and speed, striking vessel displacement and speed, and the interaction angle of both vessels to output variables: longitudinal and transversal damage extents of the tanker. Overlayi...

متن کاملPrediction of Nitrogen Injection Performance in Conventional Reservoirs Using the Correlation Developed by the Incorporation of Experimental Design Techniques and Reservoir Simulation
Enhanced oil recovery using nitrogen injection is a commonly applied method for pressure maintenance in conventional reservoirs. Numerical simulations can be practiced for the prediction of a reservoir performance in the course of injection process; however, a detailed simulation might take up enormous computer processing time. In such cases, a simple statistical model may be a good approach to...
