Modern Cavitation Criteria For Centrifugal Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1985)
It is well known that the performance of a rotordynamic pump deteriorates when the suction pressure is reduced below a certain value. The suction pressure is usually qualified in relation to the vapor pressure at the suction ...
Power Recovery Turbines For The Process Industry
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1986)
Pumps running in reverse as turbines are often used for energy recovery applications in the hydrocarbon processing industry. Empirical methods for predicting turbine performance from known pump performance are reviewed. ...
A New Method For Computing Minimum Flow
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Appropriate specification of minimum flows is important to avert pump reliability problems. A method is presented for the calculation of minimum flow by allowing a satisfactory margin below the onset of flow recirculation ...
