(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)A fifteen stage axial compressor including a bleed extraction was subject to a major overhaul after nearly 20 years of trouble free operation. Shortly after recommissioning and resumption of the production the compressor ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)Tip timing blade vibration measuring systems have become nowadays common for monitoring blade vibrations, due to rather easy and non-intrusive installation of sensors. The data collected by the sensors must be heavily ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2002)There exists a need for blast resistant yet portable buildings to protect personnel temporarily assigned duties within explosively hazardous areas. Blast resistant portable buildings are a valuable asset for protection of ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)A boiler works under pressure and it is not possible to see what is happening inside of it. The terms "wet steam" and "carry over" are every day idioms in the steam industry, yet very few people have ever seen these phenomena ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)The cost of steam has become a very real part of Product cost. U.S. Industry strives to become more fuel efficient, while increasing productivity. At the same time it must adhere to stringent emission regulations. The plant ...
