    • Linden, David H. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
      Rotor blade, stator vane, and rotor disk or drum corrosion continues to be one of the leading causes of rotor failures in industrial axial flow air compressors, aero derivative turbine engines, and industrial gas turbines. ...
    • Linden, David H. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
      The operating temperatures of hot gas expanders can cause degradation in the material capabilities of both the rotating and stationary components. For this reason, many of the components of the expanders are life limited. ...
    • Linden, David H.; Parker, Charles A. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
      Compressor surge can be a disruptive and potentially destructive phenomena in turbocompressors. A surge detection scheme utilized in shop and field testing of a 29,600 hp (22 MW) industrial axial compressor is described. ...
