Texas Adapted Genetic Strategies for Beef Cattle X: Frame Score, Frame Size, and Weight
(2009-04-02)
Body size is an important genetic factor in beef cattle production. Size is most accurately estimated by considering several factors, such as weight, skeletal size and body condition. Frame Scores are a way of estimating ...
Non-Traditional Soil Additives: Can They Improve Crop Production?
(2002-06-26)
Non-traditional soil additives include soil conditioners such as organic materials and minerals, soil activators that claim to stimulate soil microbes or inoculate soil with new beneficial organisms, and wetting agents ...
Investigation And Resolution Of Intermittent Loss Of Flow In A Diaphragm Metering Pump
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2010)
Pump adds an ingredient to a reaction vessel. Both short periods of loss of flow and long periods of excessive flow variation will impact product quality. Correct performance of this pump is critical to uptime and first ...
Discussion Group P7: Improving Mean Time Between Pump Failures
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
Computational Investigation of Coupling Guard Heating and Mitigation
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
High coupling guard temperature and oil misting on a power recovery expander led to a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) investigation of air flow and heat transfer in the coupling guard. The analyses included full 360-degree ...
A Review of Aerodynamically Induced Forces Acting on Centrifugal Compressors, and Resulting Vibration Characteristics of Rotors
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
There are several sources of non-synchronous forced vibration of centrifugal compressor rotors. Many of them are aerodynamic phenomena, created within the gas path of the compressor. Phenomena such as impeller stall, ...
