Morton, John L.; Attard, Joe; Evans, John G. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)Increasing environmental awareness and the ongoing need for improved reliability has seen an increase in the number of water reinjection installations, both onshore and offshore, and in particular in recent years, the use ...

Marscher, William D. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)
-
Bloch, Heinz P. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)Process pumps experience widely different operating times to failure. U.S. refineries achieve pump mean-times-between-failure (MTBFs) ranging from less than three years to in excess of eight years. While the importance of ...

Hosøy, Andreas; Gjerstad, Sigve; Smaamo, Jostein; Torbergsen, Erik (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)A submerged electric (SE) pump has been designed and analyzed for high flow applications. The challenges when designing a high power density SE pump are torsional and lateral dynamics and hydraulic stability. The case ...

Satoh, Hiroshi; Uchida, Kazuo; Cao, Yinchun (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)Traditional commercial centrifugal pump designs have specific speeds (Ns) greater than 500 because low values of Ns are usually associated with low efficiency, pulsation, and a drooping head characteristic. In this instance, ...

Deo, Prafulla; Gowaikar, Mohan N. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)Most of the water supply schemes use electrical power in large quantities. As such, optimization is needed for reducing life cycle cost of the entire establishment in terms of capital cost, minimum downtime, and maximum ...
-
Lienau, Wolfram; Sandford, Peter; Deger, Yasar (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)It should be an objective to predict bearing housing vibrations by means of finite element methods and avoid them in the design phase rather than to go in for corrective actions on the test bed or in the field. Bearing ...
-
Dyson, Gary (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)The vibration of centrifugal pumps, running at both best efficiency point (BEP) and at low flow, is of interest to both pump designers and users. This vibration is responsible for the poor seal and bearing life and reduced ...
-
Rehmann, Chris (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)As many as 91 percent of all rolling element bearings fail to achieve their calculated theoretical lifetimes. One of the primary reasons for this failure is contamination of the lubricants. Past practice for protecting ...
-
Huebner, Michael (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)Mechanical seals are used throughout industry to minimize or eliminate leakage in centrifugal pumps, mixers, and other rotating equipment. The ability of a mechanical seal to meet its performance objectives depends upon a ...
-
Stephens, Lyndon Scott; Hayden, Matthew A.; Schneider, Daryl S. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)Thermally induced failures have long since plagued mechanical seal users. Over the years these failures have led to the development of different flush plan and seal design features that are used to increase heat transfer ...
-
Angle, Thomas L.; Shaw, James G.; Cummins, Steve; Turner, Mike (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)The combination of a 16 inch Pitot tube pump with a switched reluctance motor represents a significant development in the field of high-pressure pumping. A field proven Pitot tube pump design has been mechanically integrated ...
-
Horn, Deane; Granger, Mark (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 ...
-
Corbo, Mark. A; Stearns, Charles F. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)One of the foremost concerns facing pump users today is that of pulsation problems in their piping systems and manifolds. In cases where a fluid excitation is coincident with both an acoustic resonance and a mechanical ...
-
Coyle, David A.; Patel, Vinod (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)The liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry continues to grow worldwide, and there are many LNG terminals planned for the US in response to growing natural gas demands. This tutorial covers the LNG supply chain with emphasis ...
