The report presents the results of a project investigating the commercial availability of equipment and the applicability of COGAS marine power plants for U.S. flag merchant ships. The report is subdivided into four parts and two appenaces Part I includes system optimization studies and a literature search. Various alternatives of steam cycles, heat recovery boiler pressures and efficiencies, steam turbine efficiencies and types of fuel are analyzed. Part II includes the work performed to develop the selected optimum steam cycle into a marine COGAS power plant Part III is technical bulletin including the design and performance of the COGAS power plant equirement. Part IV includes economic analyses comparing two U.S. flag ships, a containership and a tanker, fitted with steam and COGAS power plants. Appended A' contains the arrangement of machinery drawings of COGAS installations on a containership and a tanker; and Appendix 'B' the equipment drawings of COGAS power plant components. (Buehm)
