Project Proceed: A Resource for Gatekeepers of Industrial Energy Conservation Information
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Engineers and scientists in industry often work in highly specialized, formatted tasks which require a high degree of specific skills but not necessarily a wide range of scientific knowledge. A company often molds its ...
Mechanical Drive Turbine Control Systems For The 1980's
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1979)
The changes encountered in moving from mechanical to electrical control of mechanical drive steam turbines are reviewed with regard to both operation and performance. This paper examines past practices in control system ...
Selection And Design Of Tilting Pad And Fixed Lobe Journal Bearings For Optimum Turbo Rotordyanmics
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1979)
Current trends in bearing designs for turbomachinery are reviewed in terms of manufacturing tolerances and overall design considerations. Discussion of both fixed bore and tilting pad bearings with regard to forced response ...
High Speed And Large Capacity Compressor-Driving Turbines For Chemical Plants
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1978)
This paper gives a brief description of compressor-driving steam turbines for use in chemical plants. Turbines used for ethylene plants, ammonia plants and LNG plants, in particular, are large-capacity, high-speed ...
Design Automation Of Centrifugal Compressors
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1978)
Centrifugal compressors used in various plants come in diverse specifications with regard to capacity, pressure and gas handled. In designing such compressors, important considerations are to shorten design time and save ...
The Operating Characteristics Of Gear-Type Couplings
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1978)
This paper describes in condensed form the results of a research project initiated by the Forschungskuratorium Maschinenbau e. V. and carried out at the Institut fur Maschinenelemente und Konstruktionslehre of Darmstadt ...
Borescope Color Photography: A New Engineering Technology For Marine Gas Turbine Condition Monitoring
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1975)
This paper discusses the applications of borescope photography for marine gas turbine condition monitoring. A series of borescope photographs are presented showing some of the more common degradation identified in large ...
Development, Application and Performance of Venturi Register L. E. A. Burner System for Firing Oil and Gas Fuels
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
The effect of reducing excess air as a means of curtailing energy waste was recognized in Europe come twenty - five years ago. Research and development work was begun by the British Admiralty and the Associated British ...
Steam and Condensate Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
In the late 60's and early 70's oil was plentiful and steam was relatively inexpensive. The switch to low sulphur fuel oil and the oil embargo suddenly changed the picture. The cost of steam rose from about $0.50 per 1,000# ...
Improved Combustion System for Energy Conservation in Industry
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
U.S. industry consumes approximately 40 percent of all fuel consumed by the nation. The majority of this fuel is used to generate heat for elevating temperatures of materials. The heat is generated by combustion of the ...
