Improved Reliability Through The Use Of Design Audits.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
Rotordynamic design audits of machinery and systems can be used to identify potential problems before manufacture, thus preventing costly project delays and downtime. Machinery engineers need to understand the types of ...
User Insights For The Effective Purchase Of New Turbomachinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
As organizations reengineer to become more competitive and as people are exposed to the purchase of new machinery in an increasingly competitive international market, an acquaintance with the activities needed for effective ...
Leakage And Rotordynamic Effects Of Compressible Annular Seals.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
Effects of Hydrophobic Surface Treatments on Dropwise Condensation and Freezing of Water
(Texas A&M University, 1995-12)
The effects of hydrophobic coatings on the dropwise condensation process for a flat horizontal copper plate held at a temperature much lower than the surrounding air
was investigated. Extensive qualitative and quantitative ...
Effect of Backfill on the Performance of a Vertical U-Tube Ground Coupled Heat Pump
(Texas A&M University, 1995-08)
The present work is concerned with developing a discretized analytical model to investigate the effect of a backfill on the performance of a vertical U-tube ground-coupled heat pump. This work involves the development ...
A Comparison of Demand Side Management Data Assessment Procedures for Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturing Plants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
Two methods of obtaining demand reduction data from industrial energy audits are compared. One very simple method calculates demand savings by dividing energy savings in kilowatt hours by the operating hours of the plant. ...
Applications of HRSG Simulation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
Heat Recovery Steam Generators are widely used in cogeneration and combined cycle plants generating steam utilizing energy from gas turbine exhaust. Before planning cogen projects, consultants should study various options ...
Tilting Pad Journal Bearing Pivot Design For High Load Applications.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
Reducing pivot stress, pivot wear and preventing pivot failure are major design challenges encountered by tilting pad bearing designers in the extremely high load regime where the bearing unit load may often range up to ...
The Design And Application Of A Squeeze Film Damper Bearing To A Flexible Steam Turbine Rotor.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
A critical multistage steam turbine in a large chemical plant experienced high vibration levels and frequent repairs. Numerous failures occurred while passing through the rotor's first critical speed including heavy rubs. ...
Performance of Energy Management Control Systems (EMCS) in Selected Texas LoanSTAR Buildings
(Texas A&M University, 1995-08)
This report describes an investigation of energy use at various LoanSTAR sites. The effects of installing Energy Management Control Systems (EMCS) on electricity consumption was studied at four LoanSTAR sites: Stroman ...
