(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)Consideration of the materials for use in rotating machinery must begin with careful study and appraisal of expected operating conditions. In the discussion which follows, attention is concentrated on centrifugal compressors, ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)The usual expectation in the process industries is that improved energy efficiency requires increased investment. In contrast, thermodynamics might lead us to hope that if less fuel needs to be burned to supply process ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)Predicting potential problems that will ultimately lead to premature material related failures and implementing the necessary corrections during design, fabrication, and commissioning has long been recognized by some as ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2002)Inherently Safer Design (ISD) concepts have been with us for over two decades since their elaboration by Trevor Kletz [ 1 ]. Interest has really taken off globally since the early nineties after several major mishaps ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)In large diameter piping, high-frequency energy can produce excessive noise and vibration, and failures of thermowells, instrumentation, and attached small-bore piping. In severe cases, the pipe itself can fracture. Perhaps ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)The Southeastern region of the United States is at a critical turning point in its development. With twice the population growth of the country overall, the demand for energy is projected to increase by 30% in the next 20 ...
