The Shortcomings Of Using Pump Suction Specific Speed Alone To Avoid Suction Recirculation Problems (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)There is a mistaken belief in the pump industry (fueled by many publications) that the best way to avoid suction recirculation problems is to design and/or apply only pumps having low suction specific speed values (below ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)The development of sidestreams for industrial centrifugal compressors presents many difficult challenges for aerodynamic designers. Most often, past practice dictated the configurations used for new applications. However, ...

(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)In an upstream facility in Venezuela, Single Mechanical Seals in combination with API 682 Piping Plan 32 and 62 have been used in a Multiphase twin-screw pump application successfully over many years. It was clients target ...

(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)A well-known oil company in Oman is producing crude oil using “produced water injection” as their favorite Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques. This nasty water is reinjected into the well by high-pressure multistage ...

(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)Experimental modal analysis and operating deflection shapes (ODS) are powerful tools in vibration analysis and machinery troubleshooting. However, the machinery plant engineer often doesn’t believe such techniques are ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)New screw pumps were installed at an existing offshore oil platform that originally housed only centrifugal pumps, thus creating the need to safely train operators on the new equipment. Therefore, a training simulator was ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1991)Balancing rotating equipment is a form of correction for things that were either not uniform in material sciences or in assembly of components on a rotating shaft. The single plane balancing procedures are addressed, wherein ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)The material properties of sintered silicon carbide, such as universal corrosion resistance, hardness, strength, and thermal conductivity, offer a great potential as sealless pump bearings and mechanical seal faces. In ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1976)When turbine-generators operating at constant speed require site trim balancing, this is most commonly performed at the synchronous speed using a conventional influence coefficient method. In some cases, the vibration of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)Field testing of compressor packages driven by gas turbines or electric motors requires the accurate determination of efficiency, flow, head, and power in sometimes less than ideal working environments. This paper discusses ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)While factory performance tests for compressors and gas turbines are well defined in ASME power test codes, and can be performed under well controlled conditions, site performance tests must be performed under the conditions ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)Shafting and different sleeve type bearing systems, and the associated lubrication arrangements to support these systems in vertical diffuser type pumps, are discussed.
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)The following covers what the writer sees as the main considerations involved in the design of a slurry pipeline. It is broken down into sections. This section is concerned mainly with the slurry and design of the hydraulics ...

(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)What I decided to accomplish in this tutorial is to examine a few of the myths that pertain to centrifugal pump construction and to try to shed some light on their origins as well as on their validity. More specifically, ...
