Design And Operation Of Pumps For Hot Standby Service
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Pump thermal distortion problems routinely arise in refinery applications where hot fluids must be handled. This is particularly the case when warming up standby pumps. The single stage, double suction configuration, which ...
High Head-Low Flow Centrifugal Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Centrifugal pumps that fall into a category defined as high head, low flow pumps are discussed. A brief history of these pump types is presented. The principle of operation and performance envelope are addressed. Comparative ...
Complete Analysis And Simulation Of Reciprocating Pumps Including System Piping
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1987)
A computer model is presented for the analysis and simulation of a complete reciprocating pump installation. The model takes into account cylinder thermodynamics, valve dynamics, and acoustic pulsations in the suction and ...
Vibration Monitoring Of Vertically Mounted Pumpstools For Manufacturers And Users
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1987)
Recent efforts to develop and implement techniques to monitor and diagnose problems in submerged vertical shaft pumps are summarized. Projects based on iterative analytical and experimental efforts were implemented on ...
Considerations For Proper Sizing And Material Selection To Optimize Slurry Pump Performance
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1987)
Two significant problems are commonly identified when slurry pumps are used in process industries: sizing the pump to satisfactorily suit the service conditions and selecting the appropriate wear resistant materials to ...
Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 4th International Pump Symposium
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1987)

Maximizing An Ethylene Plant's Turbomachinery Reliability.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
The ethylene plant in DuPont's major petrochemical complex
in Orange, Texas was designed and built in the late 1960s,
using the latest proven technology of that period. From plant
startup in 1967 to 1981, there were ...
Instrumented Couplings: The What, The Why And The How Of The Indikon Hot-Alignment Measuring System
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
Centrifugal Pump Hydraulics For Low Specific Speed Applications
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
The hydraulic coverage in the low specific speed region has been ignored by most centrifugal pump manufacturers because of unfavorable hydraulic characteristics, and manufacturing obstacles such as small, difficult to cast ...
