Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 14th International Pump Users Symposium
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Diamond Like Carbon Coatings - Tribological Possibilities And Limitations In Applications On Sintered Silicon Carbide Bearing And Seal Faces
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Promising new developments to master friction and wear under fry run conditions are diamond like carbon coatings. They offer high hardness and wear resistance, combined with a low coefficient of friction. Best coating ...
Field Testing Of Gas Turbine Driven Centrifugal Compressor Packages - Test Procedures And Measurement Uncertainties.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Field testing of gas turbine compressor packages requires the
accurate determination of efficiency, flow, head, power, and fuel
flow in sometimes less than ideal working environments.
Nonetheless, field test results ...
Application Of Dry Gas Seals In Special Purpose Steam Turbines.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Noncontacting dry gas mechanical face seals are being routinely
applied to steam turbines to reduce new construction project costs
and improve overall plant operating efficiencies. Historically, most
of the applications ...
Confirming Centrifugal Compressor Aerodynamic Performance Using Limited Test Data Combined With Computational Fluid Dynamic Techniques.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Facing increased market demands for improved aerodynamic efficiency, centrifugal compressor manufacturers must be able to predict and quote the best performance available from the machinery they produce. Confidence in these ...
Annular Gas Seals And Rotordynamics Of Compressors And Turbines.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
The possible negative or positive impact of annular seal on
rotordynamics of compressors and steam turbines is discussed. The
nature of destabilizing forces that can be developed by "seethrough"
and interlocking labyrinths ...
Development And Field Test Results Of High Performance Seals For An NGL Injection Pump
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Improvement in the efficiency of enhanced oil recovery techniques at the Kuparak, Alaska, oil field required replacement of reciprocating pump with a larger capacity centrifugal pump. During the specification of a high ...
Two-Phase Flow Performance Of A Heat Transport Pump
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Heat transport pumps in Canadian deuterium uranium reactor circulate coolant to remove fuel decay heat from the reactor core during normal and accident conditions. A loss-of-coolant-accident is one condition where heat ...
Control Valve Induced Pipeline Vibrations In A Paper Pulp Pumping System
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
A case history is presented pertaining to piping vibrations in a medium consistency paper pulp pumping system at a large North American integrated pulp and paper mill that ultimately resulted in pipe rupture. The system ...
Present Limits Of Operation Of Product Lubricated And Magnetic Bearings In Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Interest in nonoil lubricated bearings is growing, due to a number of benefits derived from these bearings: improved pump performance and reliability, enhanced pump maintainability, elimination of the cost and maintenance ...
