Affordable Quasi Three-Dimensional Inverse Design Method For Pump Impellers
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
Traditionally, the hydraulic design of impellers has been more of an empirical art than a well-defined engineering science. Because of the empiricism, new designs have been disappointing at times. Discussed here is a “new” ...
Liquified Natural Gas Pump With Hydrostatic Journal Bearings
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
In view of the inflammability of LNG (liquefied natural gas), submerged type pumps are normally used to protect against leaks. The overhaul interval of an LNG pump, therefore, is subject to the life of its ball bearings, ...
Progressing Cavity Pumps - Proper Selection And Application
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
The design and construction of progressing cavity pumps permits them to pump virtually any fluid from clean, low viscosity fluids like oil or water, to delicate products like whole cherries, to very abrasive, highly viscous ...
Design Considerations And Application Guidelines For Pumping Liquids With Entrained Gas Using Open Impeller Centrifugal Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
The proper selection of a centrifugal pump for liquid and gas (two phase) mixtures, is highly dependent on the amount of gas and the characteristics of the mixture. The presence of entrained gases will reduce the output ...
Development Of A Magnetic Bearing, API Process Pump With A Canned Motor
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
A new class of pumps has been developed where both end face seals and contacting bearings are eliminated. The objective is to provide a sealless pump with long life bearings meeting the duty requirements of API Standard ...
Evaluation Of Coatings For Resistance To Abrasive And Adhesive Wear In Pump Components
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
Long term pump efficiency and durability are directly related to the ability of materials of construction to resist various forms of wear. The need for resistance to both adhesive and abrasive wear is often greatest in ...
