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 ...
Refrigerants in Transition
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)
The massive growth of air conditioning and
refrigeration has been a direct result of the
development of a class of chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons
that were thought to be inert, non-toxic
and friendly, and were ...
