This paper addresses the thermal engine calculation problematics using a dedicated software program (TECS) in order to determine the indicated and effective engine parameters using different fuels (liquid or gaseous). The diagram indicated thus obtained by TECS can contribute to verify the judicious use of thermal energy, obtained through combustion of fuel and its transformation into Mechanical Work. The analysed thermo-dynamic processes can analytically and graphically determine the polytrophic exponents of compression and decomposition in values close to the stoichiometric calculations. The TECS software is addressed to the current and future electro-mechanical naval engineers with concrete concerns in verification, analysis and calculation of thermo-dynamic processes that govern the operation of the ship internal combustion engine. It can be a starting point eloquently in appreciation of fair uses thermal energy on board.
