The Application Of Screw Compressors For Processes In The Chemical And Petrochemical Industries
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)
The name of the event that has kept us all in suspense for three days is "Turbomachinery Symposium." We have been fed a wealth of interesting information on turbines and turbo compressors-mostly radial machines but also ...
New Coupling Applications Or Application Of New Coupling Designs
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)
A common, underlying objective of such high speed rotating equipment as turbines, motors, gears, pumps and compressors is to cause a fluid to move from one place to another, and to change from one condition to another, for ...
What Is Optical Alignment?
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
Optical alignment as we know it today was borne out of the aircraft construction industry. With the advent of necessity to maintain a straight line within closer tolerances and over greater distances, precision instrument ...
New Technology In Turbine Aerodynamics
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
This paper presents a cursory review of some of the recent work that has been done in turbine aerodynamic research at NASA-Lewis Research Center. Topics discussed include the aerodynamic effect of turbine coolant, high ...
High Speed Journal And Thrust Bearing Design
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
There are many approaches to the design of thrust and journal hearings for high speed turbomachinery, ranging from the simplest flat thrust bearings and plain journal hearings to the very sophisticated multiwedge designs ...
Aerodynamics Of Turbines
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
The transformation between work and other forms of energy is accomplished in turbomachinery. The ability of a turbine to produce work when handling a compressible fluid and when taking either its axial or radial configuration ...
Turbomachinery Analysis And Protection
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
a. Prediction and Analysis of the Reliability of Turbomachinery Installations-Influence of various components on over-all reliability, such as of turbines, compressors, gears, motors, piping, foundations. Critical items ...
A Review Of The Industrial Development And Usage Of Electronic Governors
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1979)
The paper presents a review of electronic governors as developed and used by industry. The current interest in the conservation of energy has led many users of prime mover equipment to develop better control technology for ...
Principles Of Turbomachinery Bearings
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1979)
Self-acting fluid film bearings are the predominant choice for bearings used to position the rotors of high power turbomachinery. The present paper outlines the reasons for their selection, discusses the basic phenomenon ...
Maintenance Techniques For Turbomachinery
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1979)
This paper covers turbomachinery repair techniques that have evolved from experiences in a large gasoline refinery. Engineering design problems and upgrading of all types of compressors, drivers, and accessories are ...
