Critical Speeds And The Importance Of Stiffness - A Case Study In The Design And Testing Of A Large Mechanical Drive Steam Turbine To API Standard 612.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1993)
Rotordynamics has long been one of the major considerations in the design of variable speed rotating equipment. Bearing support stiffness is a significant factor in the designer's ability to predict critical speeds and ...
Fan Laws, The User And Limits In Predicting Centrifugal Compressor Off Design Performance.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1991)
The fan laws, particularly what the limits are in their use is described. The derivation is covered very briefly. To help understand some of the fan law uses, centrifugal impeller characteristics are covered, particularly ...
Centrifugal Compressor Application Sizing, Selection, And Modelling.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
The objective here is to build on the fan law paper presented at the Twentieth Turbomachinery Symposium [1]. The centrifugal sizing and modelling tutorial draws on the pseudo compressor stage curves presented in the fan ...
