Thunder Horse Injection Pump
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
For the “Thunder Horse” oil field, injection pressures above 550 bar (8000 psi) are required. The highest injection pressures realized up to now with centrifugal pumps were around 350 bar (5100 psi). To minimize to ...
Cavitation Study In A High Pressure Water Injection Pump
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
High energy pumps often operate at high speeds to achieve compact designs with few stages. These pumps need special attention on cavitation performance because the cavitation erosion rate is related to impeller speed. This ...
First Operating Experiences With The Integration Of Split Sealing Constraints To A Gas Seal Challenge
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
Split mechanical sealing technology has lagged nonsplit seal applications because of the many difficulties introduced by the requirement of assembling separate parts to a high degree of precision in the field. It has at ...
Application Of Monte Carlo Simulations To System Reliability Analysis
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
Monte Carlo analysis is a powerful tool for modeling the reliability of systems. Proper application of this tool requires an understanding of its underlying principles. In this paper, Monte Carlo analysis is explained at ...
Application of Innovative Technologies During Continuous Commissioning
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2003)
This paper demonstrates the implementation of
new innovative technologies during continuous
commissioning practices to improve building
operations and reduce energy costs. A 30-year-old
typical commercial building with a ...
Overview of PIER-Funded Existing Building Commissioning and Diagnostics Research
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2003)
The California Energy Commission's Public
Interest Energy Research (PIER) Program supports
research and development that helps improve the
quality of life in California by bringing

Using Product Specific Simulation Models in a Tool for Manual Commissioning of Air Handling Units
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2003)
This short paper describes an outline of a tool for manual commissioning of air handling units. The prototype
tool is implemented EES professional version that can generate standalone programs. The idea is to use the
benefit ...
Longevity of Duct Tape in Residential Air Distribution Systems: 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D Joints
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2003)
This paper addresses the effectiveness of using duct tape in sealing residential air distribution systems through two
laboratory longevity tests. The first test involved the aging of common “core-to-collar joints” of ...
Motor Current Signature Analysis To Detect Faults In Induction Motor Drives - Fundamentals, Data Interpretation, And Industrial Case Histories.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
Induction motor drives are the most widely used electrical drive system and typically consume 40 to 50 percent of an industrialized nation’s total generating capacity. In the USA the total generating capacity is approximately ...
Elimination Of Flow-Induced Instability From Steam Turbine Control Valves.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
This paper describes two steam turbine governor valve failures in the same installation, the troubleshooting that determined the root cause, and the new valve designed to prevent similar failures. The original governor ...
