Eldridge, Thom; Elliot, Greg; Martin, Ed; Hitam, M. Shukri (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)Turbomachinery shafting and casings typically experience axial growth during thermal transients occurring at startup, shutdown, and changes of load. This growth does not usually present difficulties during operation. ...

He, Minhui; Cloud, C. Hunter; Byrne, James M. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)Widely used in turbomachinery, the fluid film journal bearing is critical to a machine’s overall reliability level. Their design complexity and application severity continue to increase making it challenging for the plant ...
-
Brun, Klaus; Kurz, Rainer (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)Power enhancement technologies for gas turbines such as inlet fogging, interstage water injection, saturation cooling, inlet chillers, and combustor injection are being used by end users without evaluating the potentially ...
-
Kurz, Rainer (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 ...
