A New Method For Computing Minimum Flow
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Appropriate specification of minimum flows is important to avert pump reliability problems. A method is presented for the calculation of minimum flow by allowing a satisfactory margin below the onset of flow recirculation ...
Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 5th International Pump Users Symposium
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Centrifugal Pump Specification And Selection - A System's Approach
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Proper pump specification and selection results in the best pump being purchased for the required service. Economic considerations may meant that “best” is not always the most efficient, best hydraulic fit or most expensive. ...
Face Seal Balance Ratio Selection For Two Phase Single And Multicomponent Mixtures
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
It is well known that the fluid pressure distribution between the faces of a mechanical seal greatly affects seal performance. In cases where a sealed fluid changes phase from liquid to vapor as it leaks across the seal ...
Turbocharged PFBC Power Plant Technical and Economic Assessments
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1988-09)
"Fluidized bed combustion (FBC) boilers are receiving considerable attention by the utility and industrial business sectors in the United States and other nations for several reasons.
The most significant of these are: ...
Assessment of an Industrial Wet Oxidation System for Burning Waste and Low-Grade Fuels
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1988-09)
"Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation, under Department of Energy sponsorship, is developing a wet oxidation system to generate steam for industrial processes by burning industrial waste materials and low-grade fuels. ...
Natural Gas Regulatory Policy: Current Issues
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1988-09)
"Many changes have occurred in recent months in both federal and state natural gas regulation. Those changes have increased the options of industrial energy consumers for purchasing and moving natural gas.
This panel ...
Reliability And Future Development Of High Pressure Diaphragm Pumps For Process Service
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
The aim of pump development in recent years has been mainly reliability, safety, low maintenance, and the avoidance of dangerous leakages. For years, more and more rigid regulations against pollution and for better safety ...
Pump Baseplate Installation And Grouting
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Methods used by the author to level and epoxy grout pump baseplates. The methods used are not the only way pumps can be installed, but if followed, will ensure a 100 percent void free grout job. Execution of the leveling ...
Influence Of Gas Seals On Rotor Stability Of A High Speed Hydrogen Recycle Compressor.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
A gas seal retrofit project for a 2800 hp, 10200 rpm, five-stage hydrogen recycle compressor is described. This barrel-type compressor operates with a 1205 psia suction pressure and 1490 psia discharge pressure. The unit ...
