Fast and Ultimate Vibration Field Solution: From Problem Detection to Field Performance Validation (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2022)
-
Fatigue Damage Of Steam Turbine Blade Caused By Frequency Shift Due To Solid Buildup - A Case Study. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)The case history is presented of a large steam turbine that experienced blade damage after about eight years of service. The probable cause and subsequent solution to the problem are addressed. A discussion of the metallurgical ...

(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)The oil and gas extraction (OGE) industry continues to experience an elevated fatality rate; from 2010-2014 fatality the rate in this industry was nearly seven times higher than that for all U.S. workers. OGE workers are ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2011)In this paper, a virtual Air handling unit (AHU) level water flow meter is explored by using a control valve as a measurement device. The flow through the valve is indirectly calculated using differential pressure over ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)Up until now, most of the literature on fuel cell cogeneration describes cogeneration at commercial sites. In this study, a PC25C phosphoric acid fuel cell cogeneration system was designed for an industrial facility and ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)Side channel pumps typically are used in applications with low specific speed. The ratio of the low flow and high head tends to result in this niche product, located in between the classical displacement and centrifugal ...
