(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)The goal for this tutorial is to show a screening method to determine if shaft misalignment forces, moments and directions are significant with common misalignments. This tutorial paper provides information to calculate the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1982)The analytical techniques used to design turbomachinery equipment strings from a torsional dynamics standpoint are discussed. Consideration is also given to both torsional natural frequency placement and potential excitation ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)The environmental requirements that drive chemical producers to move more and more to the use of the “sealless” pump are described. The development of the sealless pumps in the European industrial community and their ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)Two stage diaphragm compressor is used to pressurize a process gas stream. As delivered, compressor produced less than 75% of the required flow rate at the specified suction and discharge conditions. Improvement Goal: ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)During commissioning of a new 8-stage CO₂ pipeline compressor, higher than expected seal vent flows were detected from the carbon ring seals in the high pressure (HP) stages. The problem was severe enough that the machine ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)Vibration problems in turbomachinery occur due to many factors. Some of the problems could have been prevented if more detailed design analyses were performed. Other times the problems occur due to design extrapolations ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)In this case history, the successful application of well-known tools for hydraulic design changes and cavitation erosion prediction is presented. A description of the tools can be found in many publications and will not ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)In adding a second urea plant in 1974 at a Midwestern nitrogen plant, higher cooling water requirements necessitated the construction of an additional cooling tower. A 130 million Btu/hour cooling tower was installed with ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1993)With exceedingly high downtime costs and the need for efficient operation of turbo machinery, integrated condition monitoring, wherein a number of health parameters are analyzed, is becoming increasingly popular in process ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)The status of our country’s infrastructure is a topic that has been discussed at length in the past few years. Aging roads and bridges are no longer capable of meeting the demands of a growing population. They suffer either ...

-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)Positive displacement pump systems can experience high piping vibrations. System vibration can have many root causes- including underdamped fluid pulsations, mechanical resonance, and poor skid design. This case study shows ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2022)This case study is focused on accurately identifying the root cause of the observed change in the rotor natural frequency by analyzing the vibration excursions on a motor driving a centrifugal pump through a flexible ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)Dry Gas (DGS) Secondary Seal installed on one of the Flash gas compressor unit at an onshore gas treatment facility failed resulting in equipment downtime and process gas flaring. During detailed tear down inspection, ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)During the independent Asset Integrity Review (i-AIR) audit conducted on one of the offshore production facility, use of instrument air as separation medium for separation seal of the process gas booster compressors Dry ...
