    • Designing An Ultra-Low Specific Speed Centrifugal Pump 
      Satoh, Hiroshi; Uchida, Kazuo; Cao, Yinchun (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)
      Traditional commercial centrifugal pump designs have specific speeds (Ns) greater than 500 because low values of Ns are usually associated with low efficiency, pulsation, and a drooping head characteristic. In this instance, ...
    • Dry Start Bearing For Vertical Pumps 
      Satoh, Hiroshi; Takeda, Hirohisa (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
      Compound bearings made of PTFE and synthetic rubber were developed for vertical pumps to startup without initial lubricating water. Through various experiments, they were clarified to be superior to any other bearings of ...
