Heat Transfer In Mechanical Seals
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
Numerous studies have shown that mechanical seal reliability is related to the state of the fluid between the seal faces. In turn, the fluid state depends on the seal face temperature. Unfortunately, calculating the seal ...
Reciprocating Pump Valve Design
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
The working mechanism and life expectancy of automatic pump check valves, which are important for the operational safety of oscillating displacement pumps, are closely examined. A calculation process for the determination ...
Rolling Bearings In Centrifugal Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
The primary considerations for the selection and application of rolling bearings in centrifugal pumps are discussed. These considerations apply to both the pump manufacturer and the pump user. The various types of bearings ...
A Unique Ductless H and V System for Manufacturing Plants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
The 33 year-old Ford plant at Sandusky, Ohio, had been expanded many times over the years and presently manufactures a variety of metal and plastic automotive parts such as plastic heater housings. As more plastic extruders ...
Strategies for Facilities Renewal
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
As the current round of expansions within the petrochemical
industry is reaching its peak, it is evident that the United States based petrochemical industry is still viable and continues to have a long future. This thinking ...
Improving Deaerator Performance
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
The objectives of deaeration of feedwater are reviewed. A discussion of appropriate test data and methods for assessing deaerator performance are given. Analysis procedures are developed to analyze the test data. Typical ...
A Quick Overview of the Art of Humidity Measurement
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
WHAT IS HUMIDITY?
Humidity is water vapor in air. Water covers over two thirds of the earths surface. It affects everything we do in some way. Under normal atmospheric conditions water is the third largest component of ...
The New Approach to Strategic Energy Planning
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
The changing industrial energy market is placing a
new emphasis on the strategic element of energy planning. No longer a "lowest-cost analysis" discipline, successful energy planning today involved a sophisticated approach ...
Adjustable Speed Drive Industrial Applications
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
Electric motors are significant users of electricity in the United States. Approximately 66 percent of the total electricity in the U.S. is used by electric motors. Electronic adjustable speed drives (ASDs) can save energy, ...
Do You Have Adequate Staffing to Keep Costs Under Control?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
Competitive pressures have forced companies to seek reduced costs through reduced staffing. The emphasis has been on fixed cost control at the expense of some loss in variable cost control. Restructuring through reduced ...
