    • Borescope Techniques Applied To Maintenance Practices On Marine Heavy-Duty Gas Turbines 
      Moise, Samoil (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
      This paper describes the maintenance requirements of the Heavy-Duty Gas Turbine Marine Applications and the accessibility designed into the turbine to allow the operator to carry out both required repair work and classification ...
    • Electric Motors For Centrifugal Compressor Drives 
      Moore, Jesse C. (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
      In the past, the decision to use electric motors for centrifugal compressor drives has been made only after all other possibilities to use either a steam or gas turbine have been exhausted—or so it has seemed to motor ...
    • Field Measurements Of Blade Stresses On Industrial Turbomachines 
      Strub, R. A. (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
      High blade stresses can be induced in axial compressors by various asymmetrical flow conditions or adverse working conditions. A series of measurements were carried out on industrial and gas turbine axial compressors. After ...
    • Field Performance Testing Of Centrifugal Compressors 
      Pais, Roy B.; Jacobik, Gerald J. (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
      The paper describes the type of data that must be recorded in order to performance test a centrifugal compressor in the field. The instrumentation required to measure different test parameters is also discussed. The need ...
    • Gas Turbines - High Efficiency Combined With Ease Of Maintenance 
      Barker, G. T. (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
      The advent of jet propulsion as a form of prime mover during World War II spearheaded a tremendous surge in gas turbine technology which continues unabated today. As each new specification is issued for a gas turbine, the ...
    • Industrial Gas Turbine Performance Measurement 
      Purvis, J. T. (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
      An accurate assessment of the performance of an industrial gas turbine, in service, has been the goal of many test programs initiated by users and manufacturers alike. The rewards of such programs often are quite skimpy ...
    • The Installation And Application Of Sensors For Turbomachinery Monitoring 
      Schanzenback, George P. (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
      Turbomachinery performance quantities commonly monitored are bearing temperatures, thrust bearing load, and rotor vibration, speed, and axial position. Various sensors utilized in the monitoring function and installation ...
    • The Large Power-Output Radial Inflow Turbine 
      Linhardt, Hans D. (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
      The performance of advanced radial inflow (RIF) turbines is reviewed and new results of stress and blade vibration analysis are presented. Due to the development of modern manufacturing techniques, large radial inflow ...
    • Optimization Of Various Gas Turbine Cycles 
      Boyce, Meherwan P.; Chen, Mow-Shung (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
      The gas turbine, as is used in most applications, does not utilize its maximum potential. There are many reasons that this state of affairs remains, most significant being cycle and metallurgical limitations. In this paper, ...
    • Power Recovery Systems And Hot Gas Expanders. 
      Balfoort, John P. (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
      As the cost of energy has always been a substantial factor in the overall cost of oil refining, engineers have devoted a great deal of attention to recovering the available energy in the high temperature flue gas of Catalytic ...
    • Special Purpose Gearing - A Users Approach To Sound Application Engineering 
      Arndt, J. H. (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
      A recent study of Exxon Corporation's world-wide machinery startups indicated that special purpose gear problems have not been critical in terms of project delays. However, the incidence rate of gear problems has been ...
    • Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 3rd Turbomachinery Symposium 
      Turbomachinery Symposium (3rd : 1974) (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
    • What Is Optical Alignment? 
      Mitchell, John W. (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
      Optical alignment as we know it today was borne out of the aircraft construction industry. With the advent of necessity to maintain a straight line within closer tolerances and over greater distances, precision instrument ...
