    • Jackson, Charles (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
      This paper covers one of seven techniques in alignment being presented at an alignment tutorium at Texas A&M University’s Ninth Turbomachinery Symposium. The specific procedure will be covered only, without delving into ...
    • Jackson, Charles (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)
      The first five years of vibration analysis work on turbomachinery indicated that 60% of the problems encountered were a result of casing-to-casing misalignment.
    • Jackson, Charles (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1990)
      Hot and cold alignment techniques are addressed, with graphical plotting of reverse dial indicator alignment maps. An alignment program with a two sets of data for cross checking and suggested proper tooling and procedures ...
    • Jackson, Charles; Leader, Malcolm E. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
      This paper presents the design features involved in providing two air compressor trains at high efficiency. Testing and commissioning data are also presented, including specific electrical requirements; foundation and ...
    • Nelik, Lev; Jackson, Charles (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
      The effect of rotor mechanical unbalance on pump vibrations was tested for a typical ANSI pump. It was found that significant damping of vibrations occurs at actual (wet) operations as compared to dry run. Rotor forces and ...
    • Jackson, Charles (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1981)
      Each new project that a company initiates should allow the mechanical developments up to that time to be applied at the proper point when the design premise is established. This paper will review what is considered a ...
    • Jackson, Charles (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1985)
      Case histories for 13 selected bearing design conversions for specific end results are presented. They were selected out of a group of bearing designs over a 25 year span to give a varied array of non-repetitive case ...
    • Jackson, Charles (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1990)
      The design premise in upgrading two operating plants for more compression capability is discussed. The first is a syn gas plant designed for 1000 tons/day of methanol but converted to syn gas only for a primary acetic ...
    • Jackson, Charles (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1985)
      An update and a demonstration of the reverse indicator alignment method with graphical plotting are presented. Hot alignment methods are not covered, but it should be clear that heat rises (falls) can be plotted directly ...
    • Jackson, Charles (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1991)
      Balancing rotating equipment is a form of correction for things that were either not uniform in material sciences or in assembly of components on a rotating shaft. The single plane balancing procedures are addressed, wherein ...
    • Jackson, Charles (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
      The thrust herein is to encourage more people to take transient data during startups and rundowns. The common complaint is that it takes too much time and effort to prepare for this information. That argument is "weak" ...
