      The intent of this paper is to describe various aspects of the application of abradable seals to industrial turbomachinery. Topics covered include sealing locations, materials, comparative studies and examples of the use ...
    • Vetter, Gerhard; KieBling, Ralph; Wirth, Wolfgang (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
      The reduction of abrasive wear and extension of the endurance of pumps requires a system analysis. Various pump types demonstrate different tribological systems under abrasive wear, which are basically dominated by sliding, ...
    • Davis, R. C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
      The concept of a thermal powered absorption heat pump is not a new or revolutionary idea. It has been successfully demonstrated in the lab and prototypes have been installed in the field. Units have been successfully applied ...
    • Shirey, D. B. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
      High-efficiency home designs have significantly reduced sensible cooling loads, and some building codes and IAQ standards have begun requiring continuous outdoor ventilation air. These trends have led to an increased ...
    • Grant, G. H. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
      Energy management is dependent on the ability to accurately measure all energy sources so controls can take place. A survey fifteen years ago in Great Britian showed that the primary elements used for flow measurement ...
    • Hosseini, S.; Rusnak, J. J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
      Heat flow measurement is a complex and sensitive discipline. It requires a thorough understanding of the available technology as well as a practical knowledge of the process and the fluid being measured. Accurate heat ...
    • Whelan, C. D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
      Over 100,000 electric motors drive the production equipment throughout a large chemical company. The energy-efficiency and reliability of these motors during their entire life have a decided impact on the company's ...
    • Kraly, K. F. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
      Cosmair's Clark Manufacturing Facility joined the Climate Wise program, a voluntary industrial energy efficiency program sponsored by the US EPA, to support its commitment to energy conservation excellence and total ...
    • Scheihing, P. (Energy Systems Laboratory, 2009-05)
      U.S. industry has the capacity to significantly improve its overall energy performance and help meet both private-sector and national goals for energy and the environment. TheUS Department of Energy’s Industrial Technologies ...
    • Fisher, D.; Bristow, G. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)
      Sustainability, energy savings, and occupant comfort are not mutually exclusive objectives, as buildings can be designed that incorporate all of these features. Sustainability is often defined as meeting the needs of the ...
    • Gains-Germain, Andrea; Krish, Prem; Shirazi, Max (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      Acid gas removal (AGR) using a high pressure amine solvent in a contactor tower is widely used to sweeten sour gas and render it suitable for commercial distribution. Acid gas removal is also common in other applications ...
    • Niksa, M. J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-04)
      Large amounts of sodium sulfate are produced as a by-product of many diverse industries. Some of this material is recycled internally. Some is upgraded and sold as a product. Most is disposed of as waste in landfills, ...
    • Jungbauer, David E.; Blodgett, Larry E. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
      Much work has been done over the years to predict the potential for acoustic fatigue in piping systems associated with pressure reducing systems in the design stage. However, an easily usable screening criteria for ...
    • Allison, Timothy; Brun, Klaus (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
    • Schwartz, Randal E.; Nelson, Richard M. (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1984)
      The design of reliable pumps is of the utmost importance in petrochemical and power installations. Downtime can be costly in terms of lost production and in the power industry loss of generating capability. In order to ...
    • Evans, J. B.; Himmel, C. N. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)
      Noise, vibration and acoustical design, construction, commissioning and operation practices influence building cost, efficiency, performance and effectiveness. Parameters for structural vibration, building systems noise, ...
    • McKee, Robert J.; Broerman, Eugene (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
      This tutorial will explain the pumping system speed of sounds concept (how to account for acoustic velocity changes due to pipe wall flexibility and liquid properties), the definition of quarter-wave, half-wave, and higher ...
