(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)Optical alignment is a technique which has proven its usefulness in original installation, repair and maintenance of turbomachinery. Optical alignment, sometimes referred to as optical tooling utilizes precision optical ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)The rotordynamic stability of high pressure compressors is strongly affected by the aerodynamic effects induced by the gas flow through rotor-stator seals. In particular the tangential velocity (swirl) of the gas flowing ...
-
(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, ...

-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)The pressure packing is a critical component of every reciprocating compressor. High wear leads to increased process gas leakage rates which can result in a compressor shutdown. Excessive leakage can even cause fugitive ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)Numerical optimization methods offer a powerful new technology for pump users when combined with pumping system analysis software. Whether the design goal is to reduce first costs or life-cycle costs, this technology ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)When pump systems are not optimized for best efficiency, they drain corporate profits with higher energy and maintenance costs, shorten mean time between repairs and increase CO2 emissions. Optimized pump systems are more ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)Effective asset management strives to maximize reliability and performance while minimizing maintenance and operation costs. Asset management improvement is possible by integrating new advances in smart online pump monitoring ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)Most turbomachinery users refer to bearing vibration as one of their major indicators of a successful repair. Frequently heard are such comments as "we could not even tell the machine was running." The single most ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)This case study describes failure incident of a centrifugal compressor, its root cause investigation, and countermeasure implementation. An integrally geared centrifugal air compressor driven by a synchronous motor failed ...

(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)APIs recent release of Standard 682 Second Edition and the pending release of API 682 Third Edition and ISO 21049 represent a major revision to this standard. These revisions have greatly expanded the scope of the standard ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)APIs recent release of Standard 682, Second Edition, represents a major revision to this standard. The latest revision has greatly expanded the scope of the standard by including applications to more pumps, adding new seal ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1984)The growth of cogeneration technology started in the 1960s, but has recently accelerated with several users interested in cogeneration applications. An overview of cogeneration technology is presented, with current experience ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)Grid-scale energy storage is needed to smooth variable renewable power sources and enable deep penetration of renewable power generators into the energy mix. There are many existing or developing machinery-based energy ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1986)The wear of critical pump components costs the industry millions of dollars annually. This loss can be mitigated by the use of hardfacing to minimize wear. The correct selection of a hardface coating requires an understanding ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)During upstream production of natural gas fields, it is common that a gas-liquid mixture of product is brought to the surface. The mixture, termed wet gas, is generally made up of mostly gas with a small amount of liquid, ...
