An Introduction And Case History Review Of Active Magnetic Bearings.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
The concept of magnetic levitation is not a new one and can be easily traced back to the 1800s [1). It is only recently, however, that the congruous technologies of electronic control systems, power electronics, and magnetic ...
Upstream Pumping: New Developments In Mechanical Seal Designs
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
Conventional mechanical seals are arranged to prevent leakage from a high pressure source. When leakage occurs, it is expected to be from the high pressure area to the lower pressure surroundings. The basic concept of the ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
The Utilities Department provides utility services to Monsanto and Cain Chemical Company production units at Chocolate Bayou. Over two years ago the department recognized that a significant reduction in waste and rework ...
Steam in Distribution and Use: Steam Quality Redefined
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
Steam quality is an important measurement in steam generation. It's a measurement of steam to moisture ratio. In use, steam quality takes on a different meaning- steam which maximizes energy transfer. To do this, the steam ...
Utility and Industrial Partnerships
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
In the past decade, many external forces have shocked both utilities and their large industrial customers into seeking more effective ways of coping and surviving. One such way is to develop mutually beneficial partnerships ...
Impact of Utility Costs on the Economics of Energy Cost Reduction & Conservation Technologies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
This paper summarizes some key results obtained from an EPRI funded study the main objective of which was to investigate the principal economic and technical factors that influence the energy related investment strategy ...
