-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1982)This paper describes the relationships of inlet velocity distribution, incipient cavitation and suction performance of centrifugal pumps. It also discusses, in particular, the aspects of cavitation as related to inlet ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)Expander-Generator unit for a geothermal power plant application experienced ongoing failures during a ten year period. The longest run cycle for the machine was 18 months yet with less than 10 MW power production. The ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)Traditional service and maintenance contracts are evolving to new form of relationship between providers and operators requiring deep changes in service offerings, with strong emphasis on high-tech contents. In gas turbine ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)High pressure hydrocracker charge is one of the most arduous services for multistage centrifugal pumps in the refining industry. Future plant capacity requirements of the hydrocracker unit at a United Kingdom site required ...

-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)Sealless pumps are now specified as the preferred type for handling of toxic, hazardous, and environment threatening chemicals. Magnetically driven sealless pumps have emerged as the first choice, due to their simplicity ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)Petrochemical companies are confronted daily with the need for greater equipment reliability and a decrease in the overall maintenance cost. The philosophy and objectives behind inspection and quality control of rotating ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)A two casing (three-stage) high-pressure injection compressor train driven by a gas turbine via a gearbox was full load and full speed performance tested to demonstrate satisfactory aerothermal and rotordynamic performance. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)Turbomachinery performance quantities commonly monitored are bearing temperatures, thrust bearing load, and rotor vibration, speed, and axial position. Various sensors utilized in the monitoring function and installation ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2022)An ubiquitous multistage boiler feed water pump for a SMR Hydrogen Plant in a refinery was specified to meet feed water requirements at plant design hydrogen capacity and at a turndown rate. During testing, it was discovered ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1976)The profitability, reliability and maintenance of gas turbine driven centrifugal compressor units are not inherent with the machinery, but for the most part, depend on the piping system to which they are connected and the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)The tools used to install hydraulically fitted hubs need to be as carefully designed and manufactured as the couplings themselves. The authors describe an installation of coupling hubs on upgraded machines where tools that ...

Instrumented Couplings: The What, The Why And The How Of The Indikon Hot-Alignment Measuring System (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
-
(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 ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)This case study discusses a series of integral gear compressor trips and machine damage that resulted from a sudden increase in motor power not related to process changes.After testing it was determined that the increase ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2022)Following a complete overhaul of an integrally geared compressor, the compressor failed upon startup.
