    • Boiler Feed Water Pumps Performance Loss 
      Gad, Amr Mohamed; White, Nicholas (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
    • END USER’S APPROACH TO CALCULATING COMPRESSOR PERFORMANCE 
      Khader, Ameer; Deshpande, Atul; White, Nicholas; Abdelghafour, Mohamed (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      Oil and Gas industry end users have generally approached the topic of centrifugal compressor performance estimation with little consideration to the effect of process gas conditions. This is customary since end users depend ...
    • Evaluation of LNG Train Operation Resulting from Refrigeration Compressor Re-wheel 
      Khader, Ameer; White, Nicholas (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      • In an LNG production plant, multiple propane (PR) refrigeration compressor failures since commissioning led to re-wheeling • PR refrigeration system was not considered to be the main bottleneck, nevertheless improved ...
    • RCFA for Recurring Impeller Failures in a 4 
      White, Nicholas; Laney, Scot; Zorzi, Cory (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)
      A Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) for repeated impeller blade failures in a five stage centrifugal propane compressor is described. The initial failure occurred in June 2007 with a large crack found in one blade on ...
    • Repair of Severely Damaged Rotor as an Emergency Spare 
      Laney, Scot; Richards, Doug; White, Nicholas (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
      Case Study 10: When the subject compressor was opened for an unrelated reason, it was unexpectedly found to have severe cracking, including a missing piece, on the first stage impeller and foreign object damage to the ...
