2. Electric-pump-fed engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric-pump-fed_engine

   The electric-pump-fed engine is a bipropellant rocket engine in which the fuel pumps are electrically powered, and so all of the input propellant is directly burned in the main combustion chamber, and none is diverted to drive the pumps. This differs from traditional rocket engine designs, in which the pumps are driven by a portion of the input ...

3. Fuel pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_pump

   In fuel-injected petrol engines, an electric fuel pump is typically located inside the fuel tank. For older port injection and throttle-body injection systems, this "in-tank" fuel pump transports the fuel from the fuel tank to the engine, as well as pressurising the fuel to typically 40–60 psi (3–4 bar).

4. Integrated electric propulsion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_electric_propulsion

   An example of integrated electric propulsion in the Type 45 destroyer (GT: gas turbine; DG: diesel generator) Integrated electric propulsion (IEP), full electric propulsion (FEP) or integrated full electric propulsion (IFEP) is an arrangement of marine propulsion systems such that gas turbines or diesel generators or both generate three-phase [1] electricity which is then used to power ...

5. General Electric LM2500 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_LM2500

   The General Electric LM2500 is an industrial and marine gas turbine produced by GE Aviation.The LM2500 is a derivative of the General Electric CF6 aircraft engine.. As of 2004, the U.S. Navy and at least 29 other navies had used a total of more than one thousand LM2500/LM2500+ gas turbines to power warships. [1]

6. Marine propulsion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_propulsion

   Dual fuel engines are fueled by either marine grade diesel, heavy fuel oil, or liquefied natural gas (LNG). A Marine LNG Engine has multiple fuel options, allowing vessels to transit without relying on one type of fuel. Studies show that LNG is the most efficient of fuels, although limited access to LNG fueling stations limits the production of ...

7. Air-independent propulsion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-independent_propulsion

   One drawback was the instability and scarcity of the fuel involved. Another was that while the system produced high underwater speeds, it was extravagant with fuel; the first boat, V-80, required 28 tons of fuel to travel 50 nautical miles (93 kilometres), and the final designs were little better.
