Gas Turbine Performance And Maintenance
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
Proper maintenance and operating practices can significantly affect the level of performance degradation and thus, time between repairs or overhauls of a gas turbine. Understanding of performance characteristics of gas ...
A Probabilistic Approach for Compressor Sizing and Plant Design
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
Equipment sizing decisions in the Oil and Gas Industry often have to be made based on incomplete data. Often, the exact process conditions are based on numerous assumptions about well performance, market conditions, ...
Operation Of Centrifugal Compressors In Choke Conditions
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
Centrifugal compressors are at times required to operate in or near the choke region. Various limits of the degree of allowable operation in choke have been established. Based on test data and numerical data, the behavior ...
Impact of Piping Impedance and Acoustic Characteristics on Centrifugal Compressors Surge and Operating Range
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
Analysis Of Solid Particle Surface Impact Behavior In Turbomachines To Assess Blade Erosion And Fouling
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
Solid particle admission is one of the principal damage and failure mechanisms in turbomachines such as gas turbines, axial, and centrifugal compressors. Significant interest exists within the turbomachinery industry to ...
Successful Selection And Operation Of Gas Turbine Inlet Filtration Systems
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
A gas turbine inlet filtration system is important for successful operation. The filtration system minimizes the occurrence of foreign object damage, erosion, fouling, and corrosion. The selection of the inlet filtration ...
Electric-Motor-Driven Gas Compressor Packages: Starting Methods for Large Electrical Motors and Torsional Integrity
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2017)
TUTORIAL: SURGE CONTROL AND DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR FOR CENTRIFUGAL GAS COMPRESSORS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
This tutorial discusses the design and function of surge
control systems, or more precisely, surge avoidance systems
on the basis of the behavior of centrifugal compressors when
they interact with compression systems.
...
TUTORIAL: GAS TURBINE PERFORMANCE
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
The power and efficiency characteristics of a gas turbine
are the result of a complex interaction of different turbo
machines and a combustion system.
In this tutorial, we will address the basic characteristics of
each ...
Introduction to Industrial Gas Turbines
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
