Abstract
This study investigates the impact of Nigeria’s tropical environment on the performance of marine diesel engines, focusing on how climatic factors such as air temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, and seawater temperature influence engine efficiency Nigeria’s coastal regions are characterized by consistently high temperatures, intense humidity, and seasonal rainfall variations all of which can affect combustion efficiency, cooling capacity, and fuel consumption in marine engines.
