Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 28th Turbomachinery Symposium
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)
Sources And Remedies Of High-Frequency Piping Vibration And Noise.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)
In large diameter piping, high-frequency energy can produce excessive noise and vibration, and failures of thermowells, instrumentation, and attached small-bore piping. In severe cases, the pipe itself can fracture. Perhaps ...
Solutions To Field Problems Of A Gas Turbine-Axial Flow Chemical Process Compressor Train Based On Computer Simulation Of The Process.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)
Operating and maintaining key rotating equipment in a petrochemical service and tight economic constraints requires an indepth evaluation in performance deterioration of key gas turbines and axial flow compressor parameters. ...
Basics Of Operation And Application Of Oil Flooded Rotary Screw Compressors.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)
Rotary screw compressors are widely used today in chemical and petrochemical refining, gas processing, and in the oil patch. Common applications include refrigeration using hydrocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and ...
Methodology Of Open Bladed Impeller Resonance Indentification.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)
Open bladed impellers (impellers without shrouds) with high rotational speeds are a vital component of centrifugal compressors. The impeller reliability is directly related to the compressors’ successful operation and ...
The Use Of Computational Fluid Dynamics And Scale Model Component Testing For A Large FCC Prototype Air Compressor.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)
The purpose of this paper is to describe the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and scale model testing techniques that were used accurately predict and confirm the performance of a large centrifugal air compressor. ...
Advances In Erosion Prediction Of Axial Flow Expanders.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)
Hot gas expander flow path erosion costs the refining industry millions of dollars per shutdown in labor, material, and lost production to replace eroded components. With erosion being the life limiting factor, there is ...
Analysis Of Hot Section Failures On Gas Turbines In Process Plant Service.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)
In-service failures of process plant gas turbines can have major economic consequences in terms of repairs and downtime. Following such an incident, steps need to be taken to avoid a recurrence. This is best accomplished ...
Improvement Of Centrifugal Compressor Reliability Handling High Pressure And High Density Gas.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)
Centrifugal compressors handling high pressure and high density
gas can sometimes encounter trouble such as rotor instability and
impeller resonance vibration while in operation. In order to eliminate
these problems, ...
Report of Energy Efficiency Study and Metering/Utilities Profile for Electricity Deregulation at Texas A&M University -- Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) Corpus Christi, Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M University, 1999)
The physical plant director and staff at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMUCC) do a very good job of maintaining TAMU-CC and keeping expenses down. During our visit, however, we were able to identify several ...
