Fundamentals of Fluid Film Thrust Bearing Operation and Modeling
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Widely used in turbomachinery, the fluid film thrust bearing is critical to the overall reliability of a machine. Their design complexity and application severity continue to increase, making it challenging for the plant ...
Subsynchronous Vibrations on a Vertical Electrical Motor During Factory Testing – Observed Phenomenon, Interpretation and Resolution
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
During the factory tests of a vertical electric driven de-ballasting pump, casing vibrations were observed on the motor above the contractual limit of 2.8 mm/s, mainly on the motor’s top, Non-Drive End. Supported by fluid ...
