High Efficiency Gas Turbines Overcome Cogeneration Project Feasibility Hurdles
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Cogeneration project feasibility
sometimes fails during early planning
stages due to an electrical cycle
efficiency which could be improved
through the use of aeroderivative gas
turbine engines. The aeroderivative
engine ...
Remarks Concerning the Public Utility Commission of Texas Study on Bulk Power Transmission
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Determination of the Transient Response Characteristics of the Air-Source Heat Pump During the Reverse Cycle Defrost
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
The objectives of this research were to: (1)
characterize the reverse cycle defrost of the air-to-air
heat pump and (2) examine the effect of different expansion
devices on the performance of the heat pump during ...
Redesign of Lighting Fixtures for the Texas Department of Corrections
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Over 100 tests of potential design modifications for the cell light
fixtures used by the Texas Department of Corrections have been
conducted. As a result of these tests, the following recommendations
are made:
1. Turn ...
An Open Letter To The Pump Industry
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Every industrial process which underlies our modern civilization involves the transfer of liquids from one level of pressure or static energy to another level, and, as a result, pumps have become an essential part of all ...
Solutions To Abrasive Wear-Related Rotordynamic Instability Problems On Prudhoe Bay Injection Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Prudhoe Bay produced water injection pumps suffered serious vibration problems and high balance piston leakage a few months after initial startup. Even though initial pump orientation at low water rates was satisfactory, ...
Vertical Diffuser Type Turbine, Mixed-Flow, And Axial-Flow Propeller Pumps - A Brief Overview
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Vertical diffuser type pumps, their applications, advantages, disadvantages, multistaging, manufacturing, material selection, construction possibilities, operation, and repair are reviewed. Also discussed are semi-open and ...
User Experience With Portable Data Terminals In A Machinery Monitoring Program
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
A description is presented from a user’s viewpoint, of a vibration monitoring program using a portable data terminal (PDT) system. A brief description of these systems is given, followed by an explanation of what they can ...
Characteristics Of The Reciprocating Pump
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
A discussion is presented on the physical differences between centrifugal pumps and reciprocating pumps. The disparities are explained in a nonbiased manner and such knowledge should precede an introduction to reciprocating ...
Condition Monitoring Of Rolling Element Bearings Installed In Centrifugal Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Monitoring the condition of bearings in centrifugal pumps continues to be an important concern to pump users, especially in critical pump installations. Additionally, pump users are interested in simple, easy to use, ...
