Practical Approach to Surge and Surge Control Systems
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
This paper addresses the area of compressor stability, surge and surge control and relates to the practical aspects involved. An emphasis is placed on the physical understanding of surge phenomena and on the practical ...
Guidelines For Reliable Extension Of Turbine Blade Life.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
The first task in extending the life of gas turbine parts is to develop meaningful life trend and aging characteristics for each material. Components that have reached their critical life limit can then be hot isostatic ...
Structural Integrity Or Large Steam Turbine Rotors.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
The disks and shafts of large steam turbines are subject to cracking from a variety of causes that may limit the service life of the rotor. These mechanisms include thermal-mechanical (low-cycle) fatigue resulting from ...
Check Valves For Compressor Protection - A User's View.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
The paper summarizes experience of the results of check valve operation (and maloperation) over a number of years, concentrating on data gathered during the last three years in an olefine plant. Continuous tape recording ...
On Steam Solution Of A Prototype 8000 HP Motor Instability Problem.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
This paper presents a typical field problem that most maintenance engineers in any petrochemical plant could encounter. Two 4000 hp through-drive electric motors were totally destroyed when the inboard coupling failed. ...
Design And Calculation Methods For High-Speed Gears Of Advanced Technology.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
High-speed gears of very high powers and/or very high speeds must be exactly analyzed and optimized in gearing, bearing and housing in order to achieve low noise, low vibration running with maximum safety in operation. The ...
