Cooper, Paul; Graf, Edward; Luce, Timothy (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)A commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) computer code was employed to compute the flow field from 105 percent down to 21 percent of the 4525 gpm BEP flowrate of a 1785 rpm, 1500 specific speed impeller of 14,000 ...

Sloteman, Donald P.; Cooper, Paul; Dussord, Jules L. (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1984)Cavitation surge or the interaction of backflow from the inlet of a centrifugal pump or inducer at low flow and low NPSH can be eliminated by the use of backflow recirculator. Experimental results from four pumps demonstrate ...

Cooper, Paul; Sloteman, Donald P.; Graf, Edward; Vlaming, Dirk J. (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1991)The suction-stage impeller of a large crude oil pipeline pump was designed by combining quasi-three dimensional flow analysis with current theories to generate an impeller geometry, which was evaluated in a half-size model ...
-
Prang, Allan J.; Cooper, Paul (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)In oil field applications it is often required to pump oil, gas, and water as mixtures rather than separating the fluid. Although the performance prediction of twin-screw pumps on liquids is well established, the prediction ...

Kesztejna, Paul J.; Heald, Charles C.; Cooper, Paul (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1985)A series of right-angle pump intakes, incorporating minimum axial depths and decelerating flows, has been experimentally evaluated using an air flow test procedure. Performance was measured, internal flow fields observed ...

Cooper, Paul; Schiavello, Bruno; Salis, Jacques de; Marolles, Charles D.; Prang, Allan J.; Broussard, Dan (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)Pumping crude oil and gas without prior separation greatly reduces the machinery and platform space required. Multiphase pumps can be located at the surface or subsea and are designed primarily as a) two-screw rotary or ...

Palgrave, Ronald; Cooper, Paul (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1986)The visual study of cavitation in pumping machinery now plays an important role in its development-particularly where high stage energies are concerned. The incomplete picture provided by traditional head decay tests is ...
