(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)It is well known that the fluid pressure distribution between the faces of a mechanical seal greatly affects seal performance. In cases where a sealed fluid changes phase from liquid to vapor as it leaks across the seal ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2014)The choice of which lubrication strategy to apply for pump bearings has implications for both the short term characteristics exhibited by the bearings and their long term reliability. When lubricating rolling element ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)Power recovery expander turbines in the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU) process operate under certain conditions that can adversely affect their performance and operational capability or integrity. For instance, erosion ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)This tutorial delves into the factors that impact the accuracy of turbomachinery performance predictions. The discussion is broken down into three parts… the influence of engineering tools / procedures, the impact of the ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)This paper covers the use of gears in turbomachinery applications. It reviews the contents of the American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) and American Petroleum Institute (API) standards. During the course of an ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)Any piece of equipment which has been in operation has a story to tell. The condition of the equipment can uncover a rich set of information which reveals the way the equipment was operated, maintained, and eventually, ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1985)The analysis of turbomachinery failures is a highly specialized field requiring a detailed understanding of superalloy metallurgy, moderate and high temperature failure mechanisms and an appreciation of the stresses, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)Many false sources of "vibration" in rotating machinery of all types are described and discussed. The focus is on the practical distinction between actual vibration and spurious indications of vibration caused by problems ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1991)The fan laws, particularly what the limits are in their use is described. The derivation is covered very briefly. To help understand some of the fan law uses, centrifugal impeller characteristics are covered, particularly ...

Fatigue Damage Of Steam Turbine Blade Caused By Frequency Shift Due To Solid Buildup - A Case Study. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)The case history is presented of a large steam turbine that experienced blade damage after about eight years of service. The probable cause and subsequent solution to the problem are addressed. A discussion of the metallurgical ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1979)The similarity of failures of impellers in centrifugal compressors soon after initial startup and failures of impellers in other compressors after about seven years of successful operation and the test programs to define ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)The hot gas expander (PRT) is an integral part of the refinery’s fluid cat cracker unit’s PRT train. Since 1995, the PRT has experienced four unplanned outages due to blade and steam baffle bolting failures. These failures ...
