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 ...

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 ...

As the decade of the 1970's gradually unfolds, it becomes clear that it will be a decade of challenge for many of you who are engaged in the Process, Pipeline, or Electric utility Industries. The changing 11orld supplies ...

Optical alignment is a technique which has proven its usefulness in original installation, repair and maintenance of turbomachinery. Optical alignment, sometimes referred to as optical tooling utilizes precision optical ...

To properly install, profitably operate, and economically maintain high speed rotating machinery requires considerable skill, judgment, and experience. Excellent engineering references covering the mechanical design and ...

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 ...

Gas turbines have been experiencing hot corrosion problems for over 25 years. These problems comprise two main types: vanadium attack and sulfidation. This paper deals with the problem of sulfidation corrosion, a name which ...

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 ...
