(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)In a major refinery there was excessive failures of centrifugal pumps, that cost the company millions of dollars every year. A new failure prevention strategy was developed to reduce the high cost of failures.
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)It is well documented that the proper operation of vertical centrifugal pumps is greatly dependent upon the entire pump/piping system, which includes the piping geometry and the system operating conditions. Oftentimes, ...
-
(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, ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)Case Study 15: This case study is about a typical experience where a steam turbine, which was running at 100 RPM on barring (turning) after overhaul, stopped abruptly and the rotor was found to be seized. The case study ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)In a compressor train driven by fixed speed synchronous motor (>17MW) was discovered a potential torsional problem on the input shaft of the hydraulic variable speed gear during the start-up phase when only low speed shaft ...
-
(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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)Increasing environmental awareness and the ongoing need for improved reliability has seen an increase in the number of water reinjection installations, both onshore and offshore, and in particular in recent years, the use ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)Case Study 9: Compression systems are designed for the governing process conditions. In the Oil and Gas industry, these conditions are often dynamic and a function of reservoir or field characteristics which have varying ...
