Abstract: Corrosion at the bottom of a ship’s water line can result in personnel and material safety risks. There are 2 (two) ways to protect against corrosion, they are passive protection (by painting) and active protection (by cathodic protection method). In the KRI with KCR-40 type, the design of the bottom line of the ship’s waterline protection has been carried out with ICCP, but the value of its failure risk and reliability is unknown, both functional and designs, so that the design of the tool cannot be used maximally. This research aimed to determine the factors of failure and reliability value of the design-based ICCP (Reliability by Design) with the FTA and FMEA approach, the FTA aimed to identify the risks that contribute to the failure. The main factors causing failure in the design of ICCP tools occur in the component of Steel potential indicator and rectifier indicator with a failure mode not pointing to the correct number, this will result in corrosion control which is expected to be uncontrolled properly and correctly due to incorrect data input. After analyzing the FTA, the reliability value was 33%. Mitigation of tool components that have a high level of risk among other things in the indicator of steel potential and rectifier indicators: the first was to redesign the laying of some components of the tool compilers to pay attention to the circulating circulation in the box so that the tool works more optimally, the second was to carry out periodic control while the device was operating, and third was to ensure that the electrical power used was stable so there were no problems with the ICCP device while the ICCP device was operating.

Abstract: The penetration of fuel spray as a result of the mixture of fuel droplet and entrained air usually generate nonlinear models whose solutions are normally difficult to realize analytically. This present study presents general approximate analytical solution to such problem by employing Differential transform Method (DTM). At the level of two-phase flow, the spray droplets and the entrained air have the same flow velocity. In order to fully understand the process, the parameters present in the governing equations are carefully studied. The obtained solution employing DTM is verified with Numerical Runge-Kutta (RKF45) and also compared with similar past works. Furthermore, the acquired results for different ambient densities and injection velocities are depicted and discussed. The results illustrate that continuous increase in the initial velocity and orifice diameter cause a corresponding increase in spray penetration while an antonymous effect is noticed for an increased semi cone angle and density. This work will find vital applications in the optimization of systems whose operation are influence by the aforementioned spray penetration processes.
