Setting Vibration Criteria For Turbomachinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
Vibration of a journal within a fluid film bearing produces a dynamic load on the babbitted bearing surfaces. A rational vibration criterion can be based on a consistent magnitude of this dynamic load among widely different ...
Maximizing Compressor Efficiency While Maintaining Reliability.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
The natural gas and chemical processing industries have historically and necessarily demanded high reliability from their centrifugal compressors, which has led to a significant emphasis on field experience of designs. ...
An Evaluation of Improper Refrigerant Charge on the Performance of a Split System Air Conditioner with a Thermal Expansion Valve
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
The effect of the improper charging on steady state and
cyclic performance (capacity, EER, power consumption, SEER,
and coefficient of degradation) of a residential air
conditioner which utilized a thermal expansion ...
Utility Marketing Strategies and Pricing Trends (An Overview)
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1989-09)
"Industries and utilities alike find themselves today in a very competitive environment. Industry finds that it must defend against threats to its markets from both domestic and foreign competitors. Likewise, utilities are ...
Power Quality Implications
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1989-09)
Electric utilities in the United States spend in excess of one billion dollars annually to maintain or improve the quality of electric power supplied to their customers. Yet, an increasing and alarming number of complaints ...
Fouling Of Axial Flow Compressors - Causes, Effects, Detection, And Control.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
The fouling of axial flow compressors is a serious operating problem in gas turbines and in process axial flow compressors. Gas turbines are being increasingly used in cogeneration applications and with the large air mass ...
Reapplication Of An Induction Steam Turbine To Extraction Cogeneration Service.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
Reapplication of used power equipment can shorten project schedule and decrease capital cost significantly. The following is a broad overview of the reapplication of an FCC airblower steam turbine to 15 megawatt cogeneration ...
Operating Turbomachinery On Or Near The Second Critical Speed In Accordance With API Specifications.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
The question of when is it safe to operate turbomachinery on or near the second critical speed is addressed. A parallel evolutionary progression of the API rotordynamic specifications and rotordynamic analysis capabilities ...
