    • Dynamic Analysis of a Multi-Stage Compressor Train 
      Garcia-Hernandez, Augusto; Bennett, Jeffrey A.; Brun, Klaus (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
      Technical Brief 4: A complex multiple-stage compressor train which is part of an off-shore booster installation was facing process and mechanical related problems. The frequency of these problems has increased lately leading ...
    • Field Evaluation of an Offshore Pumping System 
      Bennett, Jeffrey A.; Garcia-Hernandez, Augusto; Muñoz-Prior, Marco Antonio; León-Dorantes, Moisés (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
      Technical Brief 5: An evaluation was performed on one of the largest offshore facilities belonging to PEMEX Exploration and Production due to forecasts predicting that future crude oil production will contain heavier oils. ...
    • Hydraulic Evaluation Of An Off-Shore Pumping Station 
      Garcia-Hernandez, Augusto; Delgado-Garibay, Hector (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2012)
    • Hydraulic Modeling And Simulation Of Pumping Systems 
      Garcia-Hernandez, Augusto; Wilcox, Melissa; Moore, Thomas (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2010)
      New designs or modifications of existing pump facilities are required frequently in many industries due to new operating conditions, increase in product demand, pump-pipeline interaction issues, pulsation problems, net ...
    • Modeling And Simulation Transient Analysis Case Study Of A Liquids Gathering System 
      Garcia-Hernandez, Augusto; Moore, Thomas (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2010)
    • Simulator To Train Operators On Newly Installed Pumping Equipment 
      Bennett, Jeffrey A.; Garcia-Hernandez, Augusto; León-Dorantes, Moisés; Muñoz-Prior, Marco Antonio (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      New screw pumps were installed at an existing offshore oil platform that originally housed only centrifugal pumps, thus creating the need to safely train operators on the new equipment. Therefore, a training simulator was ...
    • Transient Surge Measurements Of A Centrifugal Compressor Station During Emergency Shutdowns. 
      Moore, J. Jeffrey; Garcia-Hernandez, Augusto; Blieske, Matthew; Kurz, Rainer; Brun, Klaus (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
      For every centrifugal compressor installation, the design of the surge control system is vitally important to prevent damage of the compressor internal components, seals, and bearings. While most surge control systems are ...
    • TUTORIAL: TRANSIENT MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS 
      Garcia-Hernandez, Augusto; Bennett, Jeffrey (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      Centrifugal compressors are subject to transient events, such as emergency shutdowns, which can cause energetic surge events during rapid shutdown transients. Many modeling tools are used to predict the behavior of compressor ...
