    • Myers, J. A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
      The needs of electricity consumers along with the utility industry are rapidly changing. Consumers want electricity to perform more functions, improve efficiencies and help lower the cost of production, all in an environmentally ...
    • Nailen, R. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
      In a typical furniture factory, up to 70% of all incoming lumber ends up as useless waste. Though burnable, its enormous volume far exceeds the fuel needs of the plant's steam supply system. The excess must go to scarce, ...
    • Linden, David (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
      Not accounting for detrimental environment factors in the design and environment degradation are two of the most common causes of Turbomachinery component failures. This paper discusses the importance of knowing the operating ...
    • Howard, Brian F.; Kocur, John A. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
      Condition monitoring data collection capabilities have grown over the last decade in large part due to advances in integrated circuits (IC). These advances now permit real time thermodynamic and process calculations on ...
    • Schmitz, Ulrich; Panchal, Kamlesh; Schwarz, Lukas; Chavan, Shirish (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
      The paper examines the case of a rotordynamic analysis and subsequent rotodynamic testing conducted during the pre-order phase for a five-stage integrally-geared centrifugal compressor, which today is operating in a refinery ...
    • Hantz, Brian; Pettinato, Brian; Wang, Qingyu (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
      Acceptance criteria for high-speed balancing of turbomachinery are specified in API standards based on either pedestal velocity or shaft displacement, and these are discussed in detail Pedestal velocities are measured using ...
    • Cloud, C. Hunter; Pettinato, Brian; Kocur, Jr., John (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
      A re-examination of the well-known Ekofisk re-injection centrifugal compressor is presented Several opportunities makethis an ideal candidate to assess how well (or not) current design and analytical methods have evolved ...
    • Childs, Dara; Torres Rueda, Jose; Yang, Jing; Moreland, J. Alex (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
      Test results are presented and compared for the following annular pump seal geometries: (a) a smooth-rotor/circumferentially-grooved stator (SR/GS) and (b) a smooth-stator/circumferentially-grooved rotor (GR/SS) The GR/SS ...
    • Aronen, Robert; Marscher, William (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
      This paper will explore the development of a new annular sealwear component design for use in centrifugal pumps Thedesign uses a pattern of holes (or perforations) machinedthrough a composite material wear component The ...
