Enhancement of Pump/Plant Performance by Correct Evaluation of Process Fluid Viscosity Variations and Pump Geometry
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Case Study 16: In the modern pump industry, processed fluids are characterized by a wide spectrum of viscosity values. An unpredicted variation of actual process fluid properties, including viscosity, may lead to unexpected ...
Vibration Field Problem Resolved with Analytical Diagnostic Approach and Innovative Impeller Design
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Case Study 20: Several pumps of same design exhibited field vibrations above API limits, dominated by Vane Passage Frequency (VPF). Root cause analysis included both experimental and theoretical paths. Experimental ...
Pump Cavitation – Physics, Prediction, Control, Troubleshooting
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
This short course gives insight into roto-dynamic pump cavitation and provides
deeper understanding of particulars like cavitation inception, three-percent head
drop, 40,000 hours life criterion, cavitation damage potential, ...
