(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2016)
System Dynamical Simulation of Risk Perception for Enterprise Decision-Maker in Communication of Chemical Incident Risks
A Review of Very Large Vapor Cloud Explosions
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2016)
Evaluation of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) vs. Target Gas Cloud for Indoor Gas Detection Design
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2016)
Fatigue monitoring in offshore energy operations: Research to Practice gaps
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2016)
The oil and gas extraction (OGE) industry continues to experience an elevated fatality rate; from 2010-2014 fatality the rate in this industry was nearly seven times higher than that for all U.S. workers. OGE workers are ...
Using engineered composite materials in sealless magnetic drive pumps to eliminate eddy currents and improve reliability
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Background - Pump application: This case study is based on an application supplied into a Polysilicon production facility. The purpose of the application is to pump Trichlorosilane (TCS) liquid into the production process ...
Thermal Load Effect on Vibration on a Reactor Feed Water Pump (FWP)
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
The Influence of Impeller Wear Ring Geometry on Suction Performance
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Wear rings are a necessary feature of an enclosed centrifugal impeller design. The purpose of the wear ring is to limit the leakage of fluid from the high pressure zone at the impeller outlet to the low pressure region at ...
Eliminating Damage of Retaining Rings by Using Redesigned "Profiled" Keys
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Retaining rings are used to locate pump impellers axially on the shafts of high speed, high pressure Siemens Delaval boiler feed pumps. Upon repairing and refurbishing the inner barrels, the retaining rings were found to ...
Centrifugal Compressor Configuration, Selection and Arrangement: A User's Perspective
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
The detailed sizing and selection of centrifugal compressors may be somewhat of a mystery to the typical user. Once the suction and discharge process conditions and required flow rates are established, they are submitted ...
