-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)Diester based synthetic lubricants provide numerous performance advantages over mineral oils in industrial applications. The synthetics not only .permit significant extension of oil drain intervals and application over a ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2022)Industrial gas turbines have performance characteristics that distinctly depend on ambient and operating conditions. Application of these gas turbines, as well as the control and condition monitoring, require to consider ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)Standard centrifugal compressors are designed to process gas with limited liquid content: significant presence of liquid may be responsible for the rapid erosion and corrosion of both static and rotating components that ...

(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)Operation (single, series, batch products, parallel) Maintenance (mechanical seals, bearings, pigging, vibration) Hydraulic rerates (destaging, volute chipping, volute inserts, impeller underfilling)
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)With the continuing increase in energy demand, pipeline compressors are being challenged to cope with both large flow rates and broad operating range flexibility, driven by the local seasonal markets. Overall, high efficiency ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2011)Every pump has some kind of non-continual conveying behavior or effect. Because the conveyed liquids as well as the pipelines and support structures in the connected system are elastic, the conveyed liquid will transport ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)At recent chemical plants and liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants, the increase of plant capacity has caused the size of turbomachinery to increase and larger nozzle sizes are being utilized. Especially for offshore facilities, ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1990)Excessive piping vibrations are a major cause of machinery downtime, leaks, fatigue failures, high noise, fires, and explosions in refineries and petrochemical plants. Excessive vibration levels usually occur when a ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries, [2019])Sea Water Lift (SWL) Pumps are applied in offshore units for cooling and fire water services. The specification of the SWL pump operating conditions is an iterative process where proper alignment between the supplier and ...

PL02 - Cavitation sensing and optimization in Rotary Positive Displacement Pumps for transfer duties (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries, [2019])Pumps used in terminal transfer duties have a unique set of demands placed on them. They must be able to accomplish all of the following reliably and consistently: ? Transfer as fast as piping network allows (minimize ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries, [2019])The 66A dual bushing arrangement is used to provide leak detection on crude oil pipeline pumps. Here the effectiveness of the arrangement in detecting seal leakage and providing leakage containment are examined through ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries, [2019])There are good reasons for requiring the tightest test acceptance tolerances. That is why they are listed in industry accepted pump testing standards, ANSI/HI 14.6, ANSI/HI 11.6 and ISO 9906. There are also applications ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries, [2019])Acoustic resonance that can develop within the hydraulic channels of the pump, especially in the long crossover channel of a multistage, has always had in the past a minimal consideration if compared with other dynamic ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries, [2019])This study explains the influence of an upstream inducer on the transport of single and two-phase air-water flows by a centrifugal pump. The inducer has generally a slight influence on single-phase flow. For two-phase ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries, [2019])Over the past ten years, subsea multiphase pumping has accomplished extraordinary technology breakthroughs. The drivers are the oil and gas companies requirements for deeper and more remote subsea production satellites ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries, [2019])This lecture is concerned with the torsional vibration characteristics of a double-suction centrifugal pump handling a highly viscous product. This test case serves to verify engineering assumptions about torsional excitation ...
