Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 17th International Pump Users Symposium
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
Dynamic Monitoring For Early Failure Diagnosis And Modern Techniques For Design Of Positive Displacement Pumping Systems
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
Competitive marketplace pressures for higher quality products with consistent material properties at lower cost are changing the face of chemical process manufacturing facilities. More frequently today, critical equipment ...
Disc Pump-Type Pump Technology For Hard-To-Pump Applications
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
This paper describes a unique pumping concept based on a noncontact mechanism operating solely using the principles of boundary layer and viscous drag. The first section focuses on the pumping technology itself, describing ...
Flow Margin Improvement Of Existing Cooling Water Pumps With Respect To Extreme Part Load Operation Conditions
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
In the present paper, the adaptation of existing cooling water pumps to extreme part load condition by cutting down the impeller in the meridional plane is described. The influence of different impeller shapes on the head ...
Effects of operating conditions on a heat transfer fluid aerosol
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Heat transfer fluids (HTFs) are extensively used in the chemical process industry and are available in wide ranges of properties. Aside from their importance, Factory Mutual Engineering and Research has reported 54 fires ...
Continuous Commissioning of a Central Chilled Water & Hot Water System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
A central chilled water / hot water system
provides cooling / heating energy from central utility
plants to multiple customers (buildings) through
campus distribution loops. To effectively transport
the chilled water and ...
Wall Design Redundancy for Improving the Moisture Performance of Building Cladding Systems in Hot-Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
An investigation of approximately 4,000 buildings in the hot-humid climate locations of the
United States where the potential for decay of
hygroscopic building materials or corrosion of metals
is moderate-to-severe found ...
Development of a Procedure for the Predictive Control Strategy of a Chilled Water Storage System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Thermal energy storage systems store the
thermal energy produced by the chiller plant in
periods of off-peak electrical demand or when
cheaper electricity is available. The stored thermal
energy is then withdrawn from the ...
Energy Efficient Rondavels in the Kruger National Game Reserve, South Africa
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Unique huts are being used as guest lodges in the
South African National Kruger Game Park. These
are inspired by the rondavels (indigenous round
thatched adobe building), but have been westernized
by adding glazed window ...
Optimization Measures for Sporting and Special Event Facilities: Design and Operation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Reducing unnecessary building energy costs
is becoming more of a priority. Rising fuel
prices and a global emphasis on energy
efficiency are key contributing factors. This
push towards energy efficiency certainly applies
to ...
