-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)Many facilities employ two or more centrifugal compressors, operated in either series or parallel configurations. An accurately designed surge control system that includes multiple compressors with the associated piping ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)This paper presents a summary of the authors' experience gained from implementation of model-based monitoring systems for LNG string vibration. The development of a novel train torsional vibration monitoring approach ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)The new generation of LNG plant are moving toward a larger size, that mean larger compression stations, driven by higher power gas turbine that can arrive and exceed 100 MW. This increase of specific power means also ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)A new computer program for pump rotor analysis has been developed to improve the accuracy of critical speed, stability, and response calculations for multistaging centrifugal pumps. The program capabilities include: (1) ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)Thermally induced failures have long since plagued mechanical seal users. Over the years these failures have led to the development of different flush plan and seal design features that are used to increase heat transfer ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)Problem statement: Operability issues were experienced on flash gas back-to-back compressors with lower molecular weight side stream, driven by fixed speed electric motor: • Failed attempts of start-up/loading • During ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)A common, underlying objective of such high speed rotating equipment as turbines, motors, gears, pumps and compressors is to cause a fluid to move from one place to another, and to change from one condition to another, for ...

New Designs And Applications For Increased Power Recovery And Improved Reliability In FCC Expanders. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) hot gas expanders were developed in the early 1960s and were improved in the early 1980s with updates in airfoil technology. Since then, units designed for pressure ratios of approximately ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)The multistage variable drive, called MSVD, the latest development of a hydrodynamic mechanical drive system is presented. The special characteristics are high efficiency, excellent reliability, and availability, which are ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)During the past three decades, there have been notable advances in the design of pumps. In a number of projects, the designers of process plants had, during optimization of their layouts, established a requirement for pumps ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1982)Design goals and operating experience with a new bearing design and a new microprocessor based compressor control system are discussed. Both of these developments are included in a compressor designed for the small centrifugal ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)This paper deals with the new developments in compressor aerodynamics. The emphasis in this paper is on the various aerodynamic developments that have led to better compressor performance. An outline of a new technique to ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1990)Over the years, close attention has been paid in process facilities to the pumping of light hydrocarbons. Leakage of these products can and do cause environmental and health threatening situations. Since attention has been ...
