-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)The complex field of turbine blade vibration has long been in need of improved tools to help predict the reliability of blading. The SAFE interference diagram is presented as such a tool. It presents much more information ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1993)Shaft couplings are rated by their manufacturers as to how much torque they can transmit, how much misalignment they can accommodate, and the maximum speed at which they can operate. Still, manufacturers, buyers, or various ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)During the commissioning of centrifugal machines (Compressors, steam turbines, pumps, fans etc.), a lack of flushing, inspection and ignorance of critical areas & procedures can lead to major problems, damage, and serious ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (sCO2) power cycles are a transformational technology for the energy industry, providing higher thermal efficiency compared to traditional heat-source energy conversion including conventional ...
