Industrial Steam Turbines Improve Energy Utilization In Thermal Power Plants
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1976)
Owing to high fuel costs, European Companies have always had to use special care in planning their process-energy requirements. Therefore, the industrial steam turbine has also played a major part in this respect. The ...
Reliable Overspeed Protection For Industrial Drive Turbines
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1976)
The paper discusses the fundamental relationships between turbine overspeed and the time constant of the rotor. The amount of overspeed is shown to be related not only to the time lag of the emergency tripping devices, but ...
Balancing Of Multimass Flexible Rotors
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1976)
In this paper, we will consider only the problem of synchronous rotor response due to unbalance. There are numerous complex nonsynchronous vibrations that can occur in rotating machinery. Quite often the nonsynchronous ...
Field Testing Of Compressors
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1976)
An accurate evaluation of the performance of a dynamic rotary compressor is of paramount interest to the builder and user of this type of machinery because it defines the ability of a machine to perform a specific job and ...
Pulsations In Liquid Pumps And Piping Systems
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1976)
The existence of high intensity, low frequency pulsation problems in centrifugal compressor and pump piping systems has now been well documented throughout industry. Strong pulsations have been observed at frequencies ...
Turbomachinery Noise Rating
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1976)
An expression of the noise rating of a machine is an important part of its performance specification. Precautions should be taken, however, to make sure that the noise emission specification keeps the true objective in ...
Coupling Misalignment Forces
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1976)
Misalignment of machinery shafts causes reaction forces to be generated in the coupling which affect the machines and are often a major cause of machinery vibration. The reaction forces generated by the couplings are ...
