The Application Of Flexible Couplings For Turbomachinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
Flexible couplings are too often thought of as a piece of hardware rather than a vital parts of power transmission systems. Virtually every user has a story about a piece of equipment with a coupling problem. Sometimes the ...
Turbomachinery Health Measurement Application And Misapplication - Part II.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
In Part I of "Turbo machinery Health Measurement – Application and Misapplication" (Proceedings of the 17th Turbomachinery Symposium, 1988) the fundamentals of machinery monitoring were presented. This tutorial is presented ...

Setting Vibration Criteria For Turbomachinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
Vibration of a journal within a fluid film bearing produces a dynamic load on the babbitted bearing surfaces. A rational vibration criterion can be based on a consistent magnitude of this dynamic load among widely different ...
Maximizing Compressor Efficiency While Maintaining Reliability.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
The natural gas and chemical processing industries have historically and necessarily demanded high reliability from their centrifugal compressors, which has led to a significant emphasis on field experience of designs. ...
Fouling Of Axial Flow Compressors - Causes, Effects, Detection, And Control.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
The fouling of axial flow compressors is a serious operating problem in gas turbines and in process axial flow compressors. Gas turbines are being increasingly used in cogeneration applications and with the large air mass ...
Reapplication Of An Induction Steam Turbine To Extraction Cogeneration Service.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
Reapplication of used power equipment can shorten project schedule and decrease capital cost significantly. The following is a broad overview of the reapplication of an FCC airblower steam turbine to 15 megawatt cogeneration ...
Operating Turbomachinery On Or Near The Second Critical Speed In Accordance With API Specifications.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
The question of when is it safe to operate turbomachinery on or near the second critical speed is addressed. A parallel evolutionary progression of the API rotordynamic specifications and rotordynamic analysis capabilities ...
Materials For Centrifugal Compressors - A Progress Report.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
Progress in materials for centrifugal compressors over the last twenty years is reviewed. Specific areas discussed include:
• Impeller materials and fabricating procedures.
• Shaft manufacture, processing, and testing.
• ...
Maximizing An Ethylene Plant's Turbomachinery Reliability.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
The ethylene plant in DuPont's major petrochemical complex
in Orange, Texas was designed and built in the late 1960s,
using the latest proven technology of that period. From plant
startup in 1967 to 1981, there were ...
