Introduction To Rotordynamics Of Pumps Without Fluid Forces
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1984)
This paper is for the user of rotating equipment, Reliability is the key to the bottom line and rotordynamics is often the significant factor in determining reliability. Rotordynamics is a very interesting and complicated ...
Selection Strategy For Mechanical Shaft Seals In Petrochemical Plants
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1984)
Petrochemical plants are confronted with an increasing number of available mechanical seal designs. The user must choose from among inexpensive standard seals and exotic, high engineered seal models. We have seen seal costs ...
Acoustic Resonance Phenomena In High Energy Variable Speed Centrifugal Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1984)
The design of reliable pumps is of the utmost importance in petrochemical and power installations. Downtime can be costly in terms of lost production and in the power industry loss of generating capability. In order to ...
Predicting And Improving The Dynamic Behavior Of Multistage High Performance Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1984)
Good rotordynamic behavior, implying sufficient stability margin and low sensitivity to unbalance forces, is mandatory for modern high pressure multistage pumps. Stiffness, damping and mass matrices describing the forces ...
A Map Of The Forest .. Understanding Pump Suction Behavior: Where Do We Go From Here?
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1984)
The Development Of An Advanced Mechanical Seal For Slurry
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
The development of a novel mechanical seal specifically aimed at applications where the sealed medium contains a significant proportion of suspended solids is discussed. It follows the project in detail from the initial ...
Inspection And Quality Control
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
Petrochemical companies are confronted daily with the need for greater equipment reliability and a decrease in the overall maintenance cost. The philosophy and objectives behind inspection and quality control of rotating ...
Reliability And Future Development Of High Pressure Diaphragm Pumps For Process Service
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
The aim of pump development in recent years has been mainly reliability, safety, low maintenance, and the avoidance of dangerous leakages. For years, more and more rigid regulations against pollution and for better safety ...
Pump Baseplate Installation And Grouting
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Methods used by the author to level and epoxy grout pump baseplates. The methods used are not the only way pumps can be installed, but if followed, will ensure a 100 percent void free grout job. Execution of the leveling ...
Design, Construction And Test Of Magnetic Bearings In An Industrial Canned Motor Pump
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
The replacement of conventional bearings with magnetic bearings in a canned motor pump is discussed. The primary objective was the development of a long life bearings for canned motor pumps. The research project was a joint ...
