Development of New Heat Treatment Method to Impart High Creep Strength and High Toughness to Rotor Material for Condensing Steam Turbine
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Higher temperatures in the HP section of the condensing Turbine requires rotor with high creep strength while low temperatures in the LP section require the rotor to have high toughness. The design basis for current rotor ...
Torsional Rotordynamics Of Machinery Equipment Strings
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
One of the foremost concerns facing rotating equipment users today is that of torsional vibration. In contrast to lateral
vibration, torsional vibration is rarely monitored. As a result, torsional failures can be especially ...
Development of New On-Line Wash Oil Injection System for Centrifugal Compressor
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
The process gas compressor is the most critical unit in ethylene plants and several types of contamination can often foul the
compressor flow path and plant production is significantly lost. In order to prevent this ...
