What Constitutes 'High Energy' In Centrifugal Pumps?
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2014)
Every engineer has his own idea of what makes a centrifugal pump a high energy pump, but getting 2 or more engineers to agree on a definition of "High Energy" is difficult. Is a pump high energy because it runs at > 6000 ...
Discussion Group P7: Improving Mean Time Between Pump Failures
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
Computational Investigation of Coupling Guard Heating and Mitigation
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
High coupling guard temperature and oil misting on a power recovery expander led to a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) investigation of air flow and heat transfer in the coupling guard. The analyses included full 360-degree ...
A Review of Aerodynamically Induced Forces Acting on Centrifugal Compressors, and Resulting Vibration Characteristics of Rotors
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
There are several sources of non-synchronous forced vibration of centrifugal compressor rotors. Many of them are aerodynamic phenomena, created within the gas path of the compressor. Phenomena such as impeller stall, ...
