The present paper aims to exhibit a dedicated software tool (MAOS) which determine the amount of fresh air introduced into each cylinder for 2 and 4-stroke naval engines, taking into account the current "Fuel-Efficient and Non-Polluting Engines" trends. The quantity of air, known as ‘fresh load’, determines the quality of the fuel’s oil oxidation processes and the heat transfer inside the piston’s head. Thus, in order to maintaining the oxidation process, the software determine the active component in the fresh load, represented by the oxygen and the excess of air, known as alpha. The software comes to the attention of young naval engineers as a validating current computing techniques precursor, using existing theoretical methods.
