Cavitation tests are performed in a cavitation tunnel using a dummy afterbody model and simulated full-scale wake-field or a full model.

marine

A facility used for propeller cavitation tests. This is a vertical water circuit with large diameter pipes. A parallel inflow is established.

marine

Suspended metal ceilings are suitable for public spaces (restaurants, shops, and theatres), cabins and corridors, storage rooms and offices.

energy

A ceilometer is a device that uses a laser or other light source to determine the height of a cloud ceiling or cloud base.

energy

Cellulosic ethanol is ethanol (ethyl alcohol) produced from cellulose (the stringy fiber of a plant) rather than from the plant's seeds or fruit.

energy

The degree Celsius (°C) is a unit of temperature on the Celsius scale, a temperature scale originally known as the centigrade scale.

marine

A single-skin or double-skin bulk carrier provided with a cement loading and discharging plant.

marine

According to The Motor Ship May 1996 The self-loading/discharging cement carrier KEDAH CEMENT II was built by Pan-United Shipyard, Singapore.

energy

A variant of the metric system based on the centimetre as the unit of length, the gram as the unit of mass, and the second as the unit of time.

marine

An established unit used for the measurement of kinematic viscosity. The accepted SI unit is m2/s and 1cSt = 10-6 m2/s.

marine

A control station in which the following control and indicator functions are centralized:

marine

Most cooling systems are made as central cooling ones, which means that there is only one or two large plate heat exchangers equipped with titanium plates.

energy

Central heating is used to heat many connected areas such as the rooms of a house.

marine

It consists of a suitably constructed tank which is maintained automatically under a vacuum by air exhausting units, with connections leading to the tank from each of the pumps concerned.

energy

Flow centers located centrally in a ground source system that produce flow to all heat pump units in that system.

marine

The centre of gravity of the displaced water. That is, the geometrical centre of the underwater part of the ship.

marine

The geometric centre of the waterplane on which a vessel floats. A vessel pitches, or rotates (about a transverse axis) through this point, when moved by an external force.

marine

The point at which the total weight of all the items which make up a vessel total weight may be considered as concentrated.

marine

The point through which the resultant of resistance of the immersed hull to lateral motion passes.

marine

A line of symmetry between the port and starboard sides of any vertical section or any horizontal section. The middle line of the ship extending from stem to stern at any level.
