Pump Cavitation -- Physics, Prediction, Control, Troubleshooting
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
This short course gives insight into roto-dynamic pump cavitation and provides deeper understanding of particulars like cavitation inception, three-percent head drop, 40,000 hours life criterion, cavitation damage potential, ...
NPSHR (NPSH3) Improvement of a Low Pressure Safety Injection Pump
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
This case study discusses the rerate of a set of vertically-mounted single-stage end-suction centrifugal pumps used for low pressure safety injection (LPSI) in a nuclear power plant. The original LPSI pumps were supplied ...
