-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1977)The creep properties of gas turbine blades will deteriorate with prolonged service exposure. This deterioration is primarily due to internal microstructural changes and the formation of creep voids or cavitation. Development ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)The aim of pump development in recent years has been mainly reliability, safety, low maintenance, and the avoidance of dangerous leakages. For years, more and more rigid regulations against pollution and for better safety ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1990)A turbine shaft end at the coupling is exposed not only to constant torque load but to various variable loads as well. These externally imposed variable loads come from sources like compressor surge, misalignment between ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)A case study of how a large organization is utilizing the combined strengths of commercial off-the-shelf software packages to implement a corporate-wide reliability focused maintenance initiative is presented. The integrated ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)Background: After revamp of reformer CCR process where all three compressors are running without stand-by, compressor valve life decreased drastically from 1 year to a few(2~3) months. Troubleshooting: Whole entire factors ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1985)The differences between mechanical and shaft seal devices intended for high reliability and seals which were designed without reliability as the foremost consideration are examined and explained. Highlighted are such ...

Reliability Improvement Of End Suction Pump In Severe Service Through Engineered Component Upgrade (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)An end suction pump for amine service at an Ammonia plant was successfully upgraded by improvement of its components. Two 290 kW (390 HP) pumps, turbine/motor driven, rated for 262 m^3/hr (1,153 gpm) and 271 m (889 ft), ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2014)We, SKI, had used successfully the sealless pumps such as magnetic drive pump and canned motor pump in order to meet the environmental regulation for clean service. Based on successful experiences for many years, magnetic ...

(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)Reliability of a high pressure charge pump has been a problem for over 20 years. Unplanned unit outages and sometimes fires accompany pump failures. This paper details the joint effort of the OEM and the user to resolve ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)The paper describes the problems encountered and solutions that were implemented to improve the reliability of a high speed/high energy centrifugal pump. Two of these pumps were originally installed in 1984, with a third ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)This case study on oil-flooded screw compressors briefly covers: 1. Basic designs of oil-flooded screw compressors 2. Process layouts 3. Failure modes for conventional bearings seeing: Water condensing Sour (H2S) and Acid ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1976)The paper discusses the fundamental relationships between turbine overspeed and the time constant of the rotor. The amount of overspeed is shown to be related not only to the time lag of the emergency tripping devices, but ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)In today’s marketplace, a large percentage of oil refinery, petrochemical, and power generation plants throughout the world have been trying to reduce their operation cost by extending the service life of their critical ...
