A New Computer Program For Pump Rotordynamic Analysis
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
A new computer program for pump rotor analysis has been developed to improve the accuracy of critical speed, stability, and response calculations for multistaging centrifugal pumps. The program capabilities include: (1) ...
Energy Management of Steam Distribution Systems Through Energy Audits and Computerized Reporting Programs
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1988-09)
"This presentation will highlight the economic losses associated with steam distribution systems and how to establish good energy management programs to reduce energy cost by 15 to 25 percent.
Recognizing energy losses ...
Current Practical Applications of the Second Law of Thermodynamics
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1988-09)
The objectives of this paper are first, to summarize the kind of activity that has been going on since 1980 in the application of the Second Law to practical problems and second, to draw some evaluation of the direction ...
Site-Wide Optimization Using an Operations Center
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1988-09)
"Most industrial sites consist of more that one individual production unit. Whenever this is the case, there is a natural tendency to treat the operation and performance of each unit as one entity within its own right. ...
Design and Evaluation of a High Temperature Burner Duct Recuperator System
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1988-09)
"The Babcock & Wilcox Company (B&W) has completed a program to design, construct, install, and field test a ceramic-based high-temperature burner-duct-recuperator (HTBDR) in an industrial setting. The unit was capable of ...
Designing Optimal Heat and Power Systems for Industrial Processes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Industrial heat and power systems are complex and not fully understood as integrated systems. Within the context of the overall manufacturing process, they represent enormous capital investments and substantially contribute ...
Solution Of Subsynchronous Vibration Problems In Radial Flow High-Speed Turbines.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
Experience, theoretical and practical, investigations are presented on two radial flow high-speed turbines, which showed unacceptable high subsynchronous vibrations during operation onsite. The first example deals with a ...
Experience With Online Condition Monitoring System.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
A total online condition monitoring system has been in operation on the world's largest offshore facility located off the coast of Norway. The Ekofisk platforms are operated by the Phillips Petroleum Company Norway and ...
Turbine Protection System Performance.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
The need to protect a turbine generator from abnormal operating condidtions is a given. Power plant operational historical data indicate that malfunction of the turbine protection system (TPS) has been the initiator of ...
Operating Experience With Improved Steam Turbine Packing Rings.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
The losses in turbine performance due to excessive leakages in the labyrinth seals can result in significant heat rate degradation to the turbine cycle. The modified packing arrangement described helps eliminate the rubs ...
