Gas Turbine Performance.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)
Industrial gas turbines show performance characteristics that distinctly depend on ambient and operating conditions. They are not only influenced by site elevation, ambient temperature, and relative humidity, but also by ...
Discussion Group T7 On Gas Turbine Operation and Maintenance
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
Surge Avoidance For Compressor Systems.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2006)
This tutorial explains the surge phenomenon as well as the precursors of surge and the damage that surge can cause to the equipment. Then, methods to keep the compressor system from surge, i.e., modern surge control systems, ...
Discussion Group T1 On Turbomachinery Operational Maintenance
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
Gas Turbine Performance and Maintenance
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
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 ...
Experimental Evaluation of Effectiveness of Online Water-Washing in Gas Turbine Compressors
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
An investigation of the effectiveness of online combustion turbine axial compressor washing using various purity grade waters and commercial washing detergents was performed. For this project, blade surface fouling dirt ...
Hydrodynamic Torque Converters For Oil & Gas Compression and Pumping Applications : Basic Principles, Performance Characteristics And Applications
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Herrmann Foettinger as an alternative to a regular speed changing gear for shipboard propulsion. At that time, mechanical reduction gears for such high power applications were not available. The core idea of hydrodynamic ...
Short Course: Centrifugal Compressors 201
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
This course supplements the Centrifugal Compressor 101 course by covering in greater detail four key areas related to centrifugal compressors as described below. It is intended for those who attended the 101 and wish to ...
Industrial Gas Turbines
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
The course covers the new advanced technology gas turbines by outlining all the major components of gas turbines, such as axial flow compressors, axial flow turbines, and dry low NOx combustors. The components of a gas ...
Centrifugal Compressors 201
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
This course supplements the Centrifugal Compressor 101 course by covering in greater detail four key areas related to compressors: aerodynamics, rotordynamics, performance and mechanical testing, and surge control. It is ...
