Gas Turbine Performance And Maintenance
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
Proper maintenance and operating practices can significantly affect the level of performance degradation and thus, time between repairs or overhauls of a gas turbine. Understanding of performance characteristics of gas ...
A Probabilistic Approach for Compressor Sizing and Plant Design
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
Equipment sizing decisions in the Oil and Gas Industry often have to be made based on incomplete data. Often, the exact process conditions are based on numerous assumptions about well performance, market conditions, ...
On Fuel Suitability For Gas Turbines.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
Industrial gas turbines allow operation with a wide variety of gaseous and liquid fuels. To determine the suitability for operation with a gas fuel system, various physical parameters of the proposed fuel need to be ...
Transient Surge Measurements Of A Centrifugal Compressor Station During Emergency Shutdowns.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
For every centrifugal compressor installation, the design of the surge control system is vitally important to prevent damage of the compressor internal components, seals, and bearings. While most surge control systems are ...
Centrifugal Compressor Applications - Upstream And Midstream.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
Centrifugal compressors are used in a large number of different compression application. This tutorial addresses applications for centrifugal compressors in the upstream and midstream sector, such as LNG compression, ...
The Effects Of Pulsations On The Surge Margin Of Centrifugal Compressors In Stations With Both Reciprocating And Centrifugal Compressors.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
Mixed operation with both centrifugal and reciprocating compressors in a compression plant poses significant operational challenges as pressure pulsations and machine mismatches lead to centrifugal compressors’ instabilities ...
Operation Of Centrifugal Compressors In Choke Conditions
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
Centrifugal compressors are at times required to operate in or near the choke region. Various limits of the degree of allowable operation in choke have been established. Based on test data and numerical data, the behavior ...
Impact of Piping Impedance and Acoustic Characteristics on Centrifugal Compressors Surge and Operating Range
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
Analysis Of Solid Particle Surface Impact Behavior In Turbomachines To Assess Blade Erosion And Fouling
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
Solid particle admission is one of the principal damage and failure mechanisms in turbomachines such as gas turbines, axial, and centrifugal compressors. Significant interest exists within the turbomachinery industry to ...
Successful Selection And Operation Of Gas Turbine Inlet Filtration Systems
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
A gas turbine inlet filtration system is important for successful operation. The filtration system minimizes the occurrence of foreign object damage, erosion, fouling, and corrosion. The selection of the inlet filtration ...
