The Large Power-Output Radial Inflow Turbine
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
The performance of advanced radial inflow (RIF) turbines is reviewed and new results of stress and blade vibration analysis are presented. Due to the development of modern manufacturing techniques, large radial inflow ...
Conversion Of A Single-Shaft Turboprop Engine To A Two-Shaft Industrial Turbine
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)
Critical Areas In Centrifugal Compressors
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)
In recent years mechanical equipment has seen extensive uprating in the form of higher speeds, pressures, temperatures and power levels. The advance in the equipment has reflected itself in making economically feasible ...
Field Performance Testing Of Centrifugal Compressors
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
The paper describes the type of data that must be recorded in order to performance test a centrifugal compressor in the field. The instrumentation required to measure different test parameters is also discussed. The need ...
Industrial Applications Of Aircraft-Derivative Gas Turbines
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)
The aircraft-derivative gas turbine as a stationary ground-based prime mover has achieved a spectacular record in its short history of 13 years. During October 1960, in a remote Kentucky gas compressor station located on ...
Rotor Design And Vibration Response
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
A study is presented of a simple shaft configuration. This study shows the relative effect of variables of weight distribution and support stiffness on the response of the rotor. In particular, these variables are related ...
Case Histories Of Specialized Turbomachinery Problems
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)
Vibration problems in turbomachinery occur due to many factors. Some of the problems could have been prevented if more detailed design analyses were performed. Other times the problems occur due to design extrapolations ...
Fundamentals Of Lubrication Relating To Operation And Maintenance Of Turbomachinery
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
A properly designed, installed, operated, and maintained lubrication system is necessary for reliable machine performance. In this paper the principles involved in the operation and maintenance of a system are emphasized. ...
Turbomachinery Specifications
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
This paper outlines the American Petroleum Institute specifications that are available for turbomachinery, and presents information on how these industry specifications are prepared and modified. The advisability of ...
API Organization And Mechanical Equipment Specifications
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1979)
The subject of this article is the mechanical equipment specifications of the American Petroleum Institute, commonly called the API. A brief history of the APIO and how its specifications are developed and maintained will ...
