Industrial Applications Of Aircraft-Derivative Gas Turbines
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)
The aircraft-derivative gas turbine as a stationary ground-based prime mover has achieved a spectacular record in its short history of 13 years. During October 1960, in a remote Kentucky gas compressor station located on ...
Rotor Design And Vibration Response
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
A study is presented of a simple shaft configuration. This study shows the relative effect of variables of weight distribution and support stiffness on the response of the rotor. In particular, these variables are related ...
Case Histories Of Specialized Turbomachinery Problems
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)
Vibration problems in turbomachinery occur due to many factors. Some of the problems could have been prevented if more detailed design analyses were performed. Other times the problems occur due to design extrapolations ...
