Features of assessing the condition of marine heat-exchange equipment based on digital twin technology

Abstract

Improving the performance of marine and transport power plants is closely linked to enhancing the efficiency of thermal energy conversion within their components. These processes follow the laws of thermodynamics, fluid and gas dynamics, and heat and mass transfer, defining the overall efficiency of power plants, the level of thermal emissions and harmful exhaust components, as well as the durability, compactness, and technological advancement of their systems. Heat-exchange units, as integral parts of power plants, exert a significant influence on these performance indicators.
