(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)Gas bearings (GBs) are an efficient alternative for load support of high speed microturbomachinery (< 400 kW, +1000°F, +3M DN). These bearings are compliant surface hydrodynamic bearings using ambient air as the working ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)The rotordynamic and leaking characteristics of two types of gas damper seals, honeycomb seal and pocket damper seal, were experimentally evaluated on a rotating test rig. The effect of supply pressure, preswirl, and seal ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1985)The gas lubricated spiral grooved face seal and its application on integrally geared centrifugal compressors in the process industry is discussed. A brief description is given of the seal configuration and its operating ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)It used to be that the only alternative to costly electric air conditioning was the double-effect gas-fired absorption chiller/heaters. Beginning in the 1980's, they were the "star" equipment promoted by gas companies ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)The purpose of my talk today is to: 1. provide a brief summary of the structural changes which have occurred in the natural gas market over the last several years 2. discuss some of the effects of these changes and ...

-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)This case study describes the root cause investigation of 12 dry gas seal failures in three integrally geared centrifugal compressors over a period of 12 years. These compressors are in fuel gas booster service, supplying ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1992-04)Membranes have gained commercial acceptance as proven methods to recover valuable gases from waste gas streams. This paper explores ways in which gas separation membranes are used in the refinery and petrochemical industries ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)Commercial membrane-based gas separator systems based upon high-flux, asymmetric polysulfone hollow fibers were first introduced in 1977 by Monsanto. These systems were packaged in compact modules containing large amounts ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)Air filtration plays a key role in achieving high availability and low maintenance cost for Gas Turbines, in particular in offshore applications. Offshore applications pose a particular challenge, since they have to provide ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)The privatization of utilities, intense competition in the petrochemical and gas distribution industries, coupled with increasing fuel costs, have created a strong incentive for gas turbine operators to minimize and control ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)With blading problems accounting for as many as 42 percent of the failures in gas turbines (Allianz, 1 978) and with its severe effect on plant availability, there is a pressing need for a unified treatment of the causes, ...
