Breaking The Cycle Of Pump Repairs
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2014)
Of the numerous process centrifugal pumps undergoing repair right this very minute, an estimated 90% have failed randomly before. Some have run just fine until the very first repair two or three years after startup, and ...
Factors Affecting Oil Ring And Slinger Lubricant Delivery & Stability
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2014)
The choice of which lubrication strategy to apply for pump bearings has implications for both the short term characteristics exhibited by the bearings and their long term reliability. When lubricating rolling element ...

Honeycomb Seal Effect on Rotor Response to Unbalance
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
High pressure centrifugal compressors are often equipped with honeycomb seal on balance drum in order to optimize rotordynamic stability. In very high pressures applications (>200 bar) the direct stiffness and damping of ...
Short Course T7: Lateral Rotordynamics of Petrochemical Equipment - Review, Examples, and Problems
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
This course is aimed at machinery and project engineers and technicians who need a basic understanding of critical speeds, response to unbalance, and stability of rotating machinery. The course is intended for the layman’s ...
Short Course T8: Gas Turbines - Fundamentals of Design, Operation, and Maintenance
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
The course covers the new advanced technology gas turbines by outlining all the major components of gas turbines, such as axial flow compressors, axial flow turbines, and dry low NOx combustors. The components of a gas ...
