Modeling And Prediction Of Sidestream Inlet Pressure For Multistage Centrifugal Compressors
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
It is common for some compressors in certain applications to have one or more incoming sidestreams that introduce flow other than at the main inlet to mix with the core flow. In most cases, the pressure levels at these ...
Revamp/Re-Rate Design Considerations
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
This tutorial paper describes the mechanical and aerodynamic factors that must be considered when revamping, re-rating or upgrading a centrifugal compressor. The possible motivations for choosing to revamp existing ...
A CFD Primer: What Do All Those Colors Really Mean?
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
This tutorial provides a general overview of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). It is not intended for CFD experts but rather for those seeking answers to questions such as: What is the role of CFD in the design / analysis ...
The Practical Application Of CFD In The Design Of Industrial Centrifugal Impellers.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1993)
The practical application of computational fluid dynamics software in the industrial turbomachinery design process is discussed. Such codes have been used for years in the design of gas turbines, but have long been ...
Recent Experiences In Full Load Full Pressure Shop Testing Of A High Pressure Gas Injection Centrifugal Compressor.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
The Consequences Of Compressor Operation In Overload.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2006)
This work describes the potential consequences associated with operating a centrifugal compressor in overload. Nomenclature is offered to explain what is meant by overload operation, and methods that are used by original ...
A Review Of Aerodynamically Induced Forces Acting On Centrifugal Compressors, And Resulting Vibration Characteristics Of Rotors.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
There are several sources of nonsynchronous forced vibration of centrifugal compressor rotors. Many of them are aerodynamic phenomena, created within the gas path of the compressor. Phenomena such as impeller stall, diffuser ...
Sidestream Optimization Through The Use Of Computational Fluid Dynamics And Model Testing.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
The development of sidestreams for industrial centrifugal compressors presents many difficult challenges for aerodynamic designers. Most often, past practice dictated the configurations used for new applications. However, ...
Buying / Selling Serial #1
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
The machinery utilized in the Oil and Gas Industry, (Upstream, Midstream and Downstream) is undergoing very significant changes. In the past years, the use of new designs or prototype machinery was strongly discouraged. ...
Range Versus Efficiency - Striking The Proper Balance
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
The paper addresses the balance between peak attainable efficiency and overall operating range that must be addressed when specifying, designing and/or selecting centrifugal compressors. The relative roles of the various ...
