    • Wilcox, M. H. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
      It is often standard practice in the field of industrial refrigeration to design and operate systems with little regard toward part-load performance. This approach is understandable, whether viewed from the standpoint of ...
    • Barrington, Bryan (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
    • Lewin, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2013)
    • Mannan, M. Sam; West, Harry W. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 1999)
      A database of spontaneous combustible substances is under development. Over 100 substances commonly found in the chemical processing industry have been included to date. Spontaneous combustion includes the several related ...
    • Haverly, Jeff; Izquierdo, Casimiro (Cas) (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2001)
      This paper is based on the "Benchmark Study of Operations and Maintenance at the Strategic Petroleum Reserve" final report, dated February 16, 2001, that was conducted by the GP author under direction of the DOE author. ...

    • Kuzdzal, Mark J.; Hustak, Jerry F. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
      Higher speeds, longer shafts, and increased power has made squeeze film damper (SFD) bearing performance increasingly more important to control both synchronous and subsynchronous fibration in rotating machinery. SFD bearing ...
    • San Andrés, Luis; Jeung, Sung-Hwa; Den, Sean; Savela, Gregory (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
      Squeeze Film Dampers (SFDs) are effective means to ameliorate rotor vibration amplitudes and to suppress instabilities in rotor-bearing systems. A SFD is not an off-the-shelf mechanical element but tailored to a particular ...

      Lecture 15: Squeeze Film Dampers (SFDs) are effective means to ameliorate rotor vibration amplitudes and to suppress instabilities in rotor-bearing systems. A SFD is not an off-the-shelf mechanical element but tailored to ...
    • Urbas, J. C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
      The paper making recipe calls for heavy helpings of natural resources such as air, water, fiber and combustibles. Economic stresses have already trimmed most ingredients, but papermaking can still be considered as an energy ...
    • Woodward, John; Pierorazio, Adrian (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2001)
      We announce the development, with the support of an industrial consortium, of an extensive new integrated modeling system named SS3G (Safe-Site 3rd Generation). This system is the first such risk analysis program to provide ...
    • Leavell, B. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2015)
    • Kim, Eunseok; Venkataraman, Balaji (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)
      Minimizing fluid induced forces through the secondary leakage flow paths in shrouded centrifugal impellers is crucial to improve the rotordynamic stability of high-pressure centrifugal gas compressors. Swirl brakes (SBs) ...
    • Baumann, Urs (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
      In many cases it is necessary to judge the stability behavior of a specific compressor. This might be the OEM checking the feasibility of a proposed compressor layout or it might be the user judging one of his machines ...
    • Baumann, Urs (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
      Tutorial 2: In many cases it is necessary to judge the stability behavior of a specific compressor. This might be the OEM checking the feasibility of a proposed compressor layout or it might be the user judging one of his ...

    • Noronha, Roberto F. de; Miranda, Marcelo Accorsi; Lucchesi-Cavalca, Katia; Memmott, Edmund A.; Ramesh, Krish (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
      This paper presents results from stability analysis and testing on high pressure CO2 centrifugal compressors, beginning by a preliminary analysis conducted on an academic institution. It includes results of stability tests ...
    • Al Rabbat, Anas (2018-04-25)
      Natural gas has been a fast developing industry for its advantages over other energy sources such as coal. Natural gas is usually stored as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). In the case of a leak of LNG, a potential risk for a ...
    • Judson, T. H. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
      With newspaper reports of March 1980 fuel price increases at as much as a 110% annualized rate, energy users are becoming more keenly aware of the urgency of conserving energy--and energy dollars. It is becoming increasingly ...
