Confirming Centrifugal Compressor Aerodynamic Performance Using Limited Test Data Combined With Computational Fluid Dynamic Techniques.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Facing increased market demands for improved aerodynamic efficiency, centrifugal compressor manufacturers must be able to predict and quote the best performance available from the machinery they produce. Confidence in these ...
Annular Gas Seals And Rotordynamics Of Compressors And Turbines.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
The possible negative or positive impact of annular seal on
rotordynamics of compressors and steam turbines is discussed. The
nature of destabilizing forces that can be developed by "seethrough"
and interlocking labyrinths ...
Development And Field Test Results Of High Performance Seals For An NGL Injection Pump
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Improvement in the efficiency of enhanced oil recovery techniques at the Kuparak, Alaska, oil field required replacement of reciprocating pump with a larger capacity centrifugal pump. During the specification of a high ...
Two-Phase Flow Performance Of A Heat Transport Pump
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Heat transport pumps in Canadian deuterium uranium reactor circulate coolant to remove fuel decay heat from the reactor core during normal and accident conditions. A loss-of-coolant-accident is one condition where heat ...
Electric Motor Maintenance & Repair for Long Term Efficiency
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
Energy costs to operate electric motors can be a significant part of an operating budget. For example, a recent survey of California water departments reveals energy costs for pumping and treating water may be 25% of ...
Design Enhancements To Improve Flare Efficiency
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
Two flare systems used at separate units within a larger chemical complex were modified to improve overall performance and efficiency. One system was a standard enclosed ground flare; the other was a less-conventional ...
Economic Impact of Control and Optimization on Industrial Utilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
Industrial energy management includes the fuel procurement, production, conservation and efficient use of utilities such as steam, electricity, compressed air and water. Steam is the underpinning utility and has the greatest ...
The US Motor Systems Market Assessment: Baseline and Survey Methods
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
This paper summarizes the current status of the US Motor Systems Market Assessment. This component of the Department of Energy's Motor Challenge program will provide a detailed portrait of the inventory of motor systems ...
State & Federal Initiatives Energy and Waste- The Landmark Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Energy Savings Performance Contract
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island National Monument are perhaps the most visible Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPC) performed in the U.S. to date simply because of the international notoriety of the facilities ...
The Use of Variable Speed Drives to Retrofit Hydraulic Injection Molding Machines
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
Injection Molding is a common method of plastic processing in which thermoplastic materials can be molded into arbitrary complex shapes. Most injection molding machines use complicated hydraulic systems to perform the ...
