A turbine engine ship uses a gas turbine or steam turbine to generate propulsion power. Key engine parts include the turbine blades, compressor, combustion chamber, and exhaust system. These components work together to convert fuel energy into mechanical motion for the ship.

Turbine Engine Ship Key Specifications:

- Size: Typically 50-300 meters in length, depending on vessel type.

- Engine Power: 5,000 kW to 80,000 kW.

- Grade: Marine-grade fuel (ISO 8217 compliant).

- Viscosity: Fuel viscosity ranges from 180 cSt to 700 cSt at 50°C.

- Buoyancy: Displacement-based, calculated per Archimedes' principle.

- Material: Engine components made of high-strength steel, titanium alloys, and nickel-based superalloys.

- Turbine Blades: Typically Inconel or single-crystal alloys.

- Bearing Systems: Hydrodynamic or rolling-element bearings with synthetic lubricants.

- Exhaust Temperature: 400-600°C.

- Cooling System: Seawater or freshwater-based cooling circuits.

- Weight: Engine assembly can weigh 50-500 tons.

- RPM Range: 5,000-15,000 RPM for gas turbines, lower for steam variants.
