    • Accidental Excitation of Acoustic Resonances from Balance Holes on Rotating Disk 
      Kerr, Tommy; Rimpel, Aaron; Simons, Sarah (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)
      During commissioning of an open-casing test rig, a loud (above 105 dB) high pitch “squealing” sound occurred at speeds above 3,000 rpm. All elements of the rig were removed except the bearings yet the noise persisted. ...
    • Fluid Structure Interaction Analysis for Prediction of Centrifugal Compressor Dynamic Stresses 
      Hoopes, Kevin; Allison, Tim; Leavitt, Charles; Brun, Klaus; Rimpel, Aaron; Josefczyk, Ronald (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)
      Centrifugal compressor impellers experience dynamic loading from flow structures generated by upstream and downstream compressor components. This loading can cause high cycle fatigue and ultimately impeller failure if not ...
    • INTRODUCTION TO DRY GAS SEALS AND SYSTEMS 
      Cich, Stefan D.; Rimpel, Aaron; Twist, Christina; Sihra, Inderpal (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)
      This tutorial presents an introduction to dry gas seals (DGSs) and their associated systems. DGSs are used as a shaft end seals for compressors and turbines, and they are installed on virtually all centrifugal compressors ...
