Field Measurements Of Blade Stresses On Industrial Turbomachines
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
High blade stresses can be induced in axial compressors by various asymmetrical flow conditions or adverse working conditions. A series of measurements were carried out on industrial and gas turbine axial compressors. After ...
Gas Turbines - High Efficiency Combined With Ease Of Maintenance
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
The advent of jet propulsion as a form of prime mover during World War II spearheaded a tremendous surge in gas turbine technology which continues unabated today. As each new specification is issued for a gas turbine, the ...
Borescope Techniques Applied To Maintenance Practices On Marine Heavy-Duty Gas Turbines
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
This paper describes the maintenance requirements of the Heavy-Duty Gas Turbine Marine Applications and the accessibility designed into the turbine to allow the operator to carry out both required repair work and classification ...
The Installation And Application Of Sensors For Turbomachinery Monitoring
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
Turbomachinery performance quantities commonly monitored are bearing temperatures, thrust bearing load, and rotor vibration, speed, and axial position. Various sensors utilized in the monitoring function and installation ...
The Application Of Screw Compressors For Processes In The Chemical And Petrochemical Industries
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)
The name of the event that has kept us all in suspense for three days is "Turbomachinery Symposium." We have been fed a wealth of interesting information on turbines and turbo compressors-mostly radial machines but also ...
New Coupling Applications Or Application Of New Coupling Designs
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)
A common, underlying objective of such high speed rotating equipment as turbines, motors, gears, pumps and compressors is to cause a fluid to move from one place to another, and to change from one condition to another, for ...
What Is Optical Alignment?
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
Optical alignment as we know it today was borne out of the aircraft construction industry. With the advent of necessity to maintain a straight line within closer tolerances and over greater distances, precision instrument ...
New Technology In Turbine Aerodynamics
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
This paper presents a cursory review of some of the recent work that has been done in turbine aerodynamic research at NASA-Lewis Research Center. Topics discussed include the aerodynamic effect of turbine coolant, high ...
High Speed Journal And Thrust Bearing Design
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
There are many approaches to the design of thrust and journal hearings for high speed turbomachinery, ranging from the simplest flat thrust bearings and plain journal hearings to the very sophisticated multiwedge designs ...
Aerodynamics Of Turbines
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
The transformation between work and other forms of energy is accomplished in turbomachinery. The ability of a turbine to produce work when handling a compressible fluid and when taking either its axial or radial configuration ...
