    • Aerothermal-Mechanical Health Monitoring And Diagnostics Or Turbo-Compressor Sets 
      Boyce, Meherwan P.; Meher-Homji, Cyrus B. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1982)
      High speed turbomachinery plays a critical role in today's petrochemical industry. There are very high penalty costs associated with nonavailability and catastrophic failure of critical unspared trains. Additionally the ...
    • Case Studies In Turbomachinery Operation And Maintenance Using Condition Monitoring. 
      Boyce, Meherwan P.; Gabriles, George A.; Meher-Homji, Cyrus B.; Lakshminarasimha, A.N.; Meher-Homji, Feroze J. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1993)
      With exceedingly high downtime costs and the need for efficient operation of turbo machinery, integrated condition monitoring, wherein a number of health parameters are analyzed, is becoming increasingly popular in process ...
    • Fouling Of Axial Flow Compressors - Causes, Effects, Detection, And Control. 
      Meher-Homji, Cyrus B.; Focke, Alfred B.; Wooldridge, M. Byron (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
      The fouling of axial flow compressors is a serious operating problem in gas turbines and in process axial flow compressors. Gas turbines are being increasingly used in cogeneration applications and with the large air mass ...
    • Gas Turbine Axial Compressor Fouling And Washing. 
      Meher-Homji, Cyrus B.; Bromley, Andrew (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
      The privatization of utilities, intense competition in the petrochemical and gas distribution industries, coupled with increasing fuel costs, have created a strong incentive for gas turbine operators to minimize and control ...
    • Gas Turbine Blade Failures - Causes, Avoidance, And Troubleshooting. 
      Meher-Homji, Cyrus B.; Gabriles, George (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
      With blading problems accounting for as many as 42 percent of the failures in gas turbines (Allianz, 1 978) and with its severe effect on plant availability, there is a pressing need for a unified treatment of the causes, ...
    • Gas Turbine Fuels-System Design, Combustion, And Operability 
      Meher-Homji, Cyrus B.; Zachary, Justin; Bromley, Andrew F. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2010)
      Fuel supply is one of the most critical factors governing the reliability and operability of a gas turbine. The supply of fuel that does not meet gas turbine combustion requirements can result in serious operability and ...
    • Gas Turbine Performance Deterioration. 
      Meher-Homji, Cyrus B.; Chaker, Mustapha A.; Motiwala, Hatim M. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
      With privatization and intense competition in the utility and petrochemical industry, there is a strong incentive for gas turbine operators to minimize and control performance deterioration, as this directly affect ...
    • Gas Turbine Power Augmentation By Fogging Of Inlet Air. 
      Meher-Homji, Cyrus B.; Mee, Thomas R. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)
      Gas turbine output is a strong function of the ambient air temperature with power output dropping by 0.3 percent to 0.5 percent for every 1 F rise in ambient temperature. While this characteristic is inherent in any gas ...
    • Gas Turbines And Turbocompressors For LNG Service. 
      Meher-Homji, Cyrus B.; Matthews, Terryl; Pelagotti, Antonio; Weyermann, Hans P. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
      The international liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade is expanding rapidly. Projects are being proposed worldwide to meet the industry forecasted growth rate of 12 percent by the end of the decade. LNG train designs in the ...
    • The Historical Evolution Of Turbomachinery. 
      Meher-Homji, Cyrus B. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
      This paper presents a comprehensive treatise of the antecedents, evolution, developments, and inventions relating to turbomachinery from early paddle wheels to modern turbojets emphasizing the constant challenge, failures, ...
