Opis

This study aimed at increasing ships' power and performance by protecting its hull from corrosion and bio-fouling which cause reduction of the vessels power. The study is based on four assumptions. First, the vessels hulls should be protected from corrosion to increase their power and performance. Second, vessels hulls corrosion can instantly be controlled using Impressed Current Cathodic Protection 'ICCP'. Third, coating has a great effect on protecting vessels hulls and increasing their performance. Finally, there are many factors that contribute on ships' hull corrosion. The data were gathered through experimental approach. The researcher used multi physic software program (Comsol 5.3a) to build a model of 'ICCP'. The experiment included two cases to protect ships' hulls from corrosion effectively and efficiently. The first case is hull with coated propeller and the second one a non-coated propeller. The researcher runs the corrosion model on 'Comsol 5.3a', the results were set in the form of graph and chart that shows the value of the current density for corrosion prevention for coated and non-coated case. The results have shown a significant difference.
