  7. Abstract:
  8. Nowadays, there is a focus on developing a propulsion system with higher efficiency and performance in comparison to conventional systems. Many diverse systems have been designed for the vessel propulsion and everyday, utilizing new ideas, their performance and energy consumption are being improved. Direct use of steam energy is a noble and new idea. In this research, the steam jet propulsion system has been explained and current worldwide research on the topic has been investigated. Considering the shortage of primary data in the field and the novelty of subject, required information for the manufacturing of a sample model of this special propulsion system has been gathered and a design for the production of a model has been performed. In addition, considering the suggested design and market constraints, different parts have been chosen and a laboratory model of system was built in the marine engineering lab of the Sharif University. In the next step, the system has been used for different tests. Finally, the investigation on the system efficiency was performed on this system by changing different parameters. Manufacturing the sample model and performing the initial test, is a gate to the further studies and optimization of the system. Naturally, with more experimental investigations one can study the effect of different parameters more effectively and offer new procedures for the optimization of efficiency of the steam jet propulsion system.
