      a. Prediction and Analysis of the Reliability of Turbomachinery Installations-Influence of various components on over-all reliability, such as of turbines, compressors, gears, motors, piping, foundations. Critical items ...
    • Boyce, M. P. (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
      This paper deals with the new developments in compressor aerodynamics. The emphasis in this paper is on the various aerodynamic developments that have led to better compressor performance. An outline of a new technique to ...
    • Reddy, Ramana (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
      Sixteen centrifugal stages in two cases driven by a Rolls Royce AVON jet and a single stage power turbine compress natural gas of Mol Weight 23 from a pressure of 65 to 2000 psia. The rotating train, the coolers, the ...
    • Phinney, John (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
      This will be an exploration of the relevant factors involved in successfully applying gear drives to high speed rotating machinery. Relationships of internal design features to external equipment and couplings is defined ...
    • Langenthal, Ira (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
      In the past instrumentation available to the diagnostician for analysis of machinery problems was limited to swept narrowband filter systems and, less important, parallel narrowband filter systems. Although useful for ...
    • Abramovitz, Stanley (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
      The basic and practical design concepts of fluid film bearings as applied to turbomachinery will be discussed. The discussion will cover specific applications that are representative of a wide range of conditions that can ...
    • Davis, H. M. (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
      The operation and maintenance of centrifugal compressors varies considerably depending upon the size, speed, horsepower, and type of driver. Typical centrifugal compressors vary from high speed, low flow applications to ...
    • Borhaug, Jan; Mitchell, John (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
      Recent experiences with frequency spectrum analysis for onstream evaluation of mechanical performance are reviewed from a user's standpoint. Current practices of transducer selection and positioning, data acquisition and ...
    • D'Innocenzio, M. (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
      The speaker will briefly review the type of problems which have been experienced with lubrication and seal oil systems and their impact upon process compressor train reliability. Recommendations for reducing these problems ...
