Mechanical Seals
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Mechanical seals are the most common method of sealing industrial centrifugal pumps
and other rotary equipment. Although the basic concepts of a seal is simple,
successfully using seals requires an understanding of the ...

Maximum Efficiency for High Head Process Pumps –Optimizing Side Channel Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Side channel pumps provide high pressure at relatively low flow rates. This comes along with a quite low specific speed and thus with the known disadvantage of a quite poor maximum efficiency.
This paper describes the ...
Crude Oil Non-Pusher Secondary Seal
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Crude oil pipeline pumps traditionally suffer from seal leakage due to the fretting or wearing of the dynamic O-ring. A new concept secondary seal has been developed to eliminate this fretting occurrence. All major seal ...
Cooling Water Pump Station Optimization Using CFD and Physical Model Test
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
In this paper, a combined study between Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and a model test has been carried on a Cooling Water Pumping Station as part of a new power plant. The aim of this work was to validate a water pit ...
Further Evaluation of the Modified Affinity Laws for the Prediction of Viscosity Effect on the Pump Head Performance

Optimizing Pumping Systems with Proven Engineering Assessment Processes and Methodologies
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
When pump systems are not optimized for best efficiency, they drain corporate profits with higher energy and maintenance costs, shorten mean time between repairs and increase CO2 emissions. Optimized pump systems are more ...
