Why do ships sink only below water while others sink to bottom floor of water after the have have been sunk?
Ships that don't sink to the bottom are either Submarines or have a buoyancy system inside that does not rely on the hull being water proof. (water tight) Some vessels have remained just at the surface for years after being lost due to the flotation the cargo provided. A cargo of lumber comes to mind supporting the vessel just at the surface as it drifted around the North Atlantic for over 18 months. Vessels that sink immediately are simply relying on the hull being water tight and once they fill with water down they go.
What makes ship able to float?
The force that enables the ships to float is called buoyancy. The force is exerted by the displaced volume of water to help keep the ship afloat by pushing the water out of the way because of less gravity per unit volume of water. This can occur only in a reference frame which either has a gravitational field or is accelerating due to a force other than gravity defining a "downward" direction
How can thermodynamics be applied to a ship?
Many ways, and it depends on the type of ship. A large ship will benefit from thermodynamic analysis of the HVAC system (especially if it is a refrigerated cargo ship); smaller ships will also benefit from this as well. In addition, most thermodynamic solvers on the market will also do fluid solutions, which is obviously helpful for a ship.
