    • Sorokes, James; Aikens, Kurt; Malinowski, Russell; Franzke, Arno (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)
      A compressor aero-performance issue occurred during in-house Type 2 testing of a centrifugal compressor – the overload limit was close to the expected design capacity. Root cause analyses initially focused on the compressor ...
    • Sorokes, James; Kuzdzal, Mark; Marshall, D. Fred (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
      This tutorial reviews the various types of forces that can cause non-synchronous vibrations in centrifugal compressors. Many of these forces are aerodynamically-induced, such as impeller or diffuser stall or impeller / ...
