Fan Laws, The User And Limits In Predicting Centrifugal Compressor Off Design Performance.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1991)
The fan laws, particularly what the limits are in their use is described. The derivation is covered very briefly. To help understand some of the fan law uses, centrifugal impeller characteristics are covered, particularly ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1991)
Texas LoanSTAR Monitoring and Analysis Program: Report to the Monitoring and Analysis Review Committee, August 1991 (Volume I)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1991)
The LoanSTAR program has now completed its second prototype year. This report is Volume I of a two volume set that documents the progress since the January 1991 MARC meeting. This first voume contains photocopies of the ...
An Integral Balance Piston For Centrifugal Pump Impellers
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1991)
Axial thrust balancing of pressure forces in centrifugal pumps has long been a design challenge for pump engineers. This becomes particularly important in sealless pumps, due to their lack of thrust bearing capacity, and ...
Single Plane Balancing
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1991)
Balancing rotating equipment is a form of correction for things that were either not uniform in material sciences or in assembly of components on a rotating shaft. The single plane balancing procedures are addressed, wherein ...
Solution To Cavitation Induced Vibration Problems In Crude Oil Pipeline Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1991)
An output was increased on the Eat-West crude oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia, increasing shaft seal failures were encountered. These limited the operation of the pipeline. Surveys on site and detailed model tests with flow ...
Supplier Quality Improvement Process
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1991)
The Chevron Supplier Quality Improvement Process is described herein. It starts by recalling the history of major mechanical equipment failures in the oil business. These problems led Chevron to the development of a ...
Repair Severely Damaged Rotors By Submerged Arc Welding.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1991)
Severely damaged rotors often can be rebuilt even when damage has occurred to the shaft/rotor forging. Such shop repair returns what would have been a scrapped or degraded rotor to original equipment standards. The repair ...
Efficient Multiphase Pump Station For Onshore Application And Prospects For Offshore Application
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1991)
With oil consumption increasing worldwide, the petroleum industry is being forced to find ever more efficient ways. Not only the exploration of inaccessible and inefficient oil fields, but also the increasing demand for ...
