Operating Turbomachinery On Or Near The Second Critical Speed In Accordance With API Specifications. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)The question of when is it safe to operate turbomachinery on or near the second critical speed is addressed. A parallel evolutionary progression of the API rotordynamic specifications and rotordynamic analysis capabilities ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)Self-lubricating, self-contained fluid-film thrust and journal bearings have been in use since the 1920s. These bearing systems offer relative simplicity in a reliable, stand-alone package. Recent testing has shown that ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1975)The problem of a whirling rotor in a high pressure centrifugal compressor and the steps to arrive at a solution are described. Orbit shapes and vibratory motion are illustrated. Vibratory frequency ratios compared to ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)Centrifugal compressors are at times required to operate in or near the choke region. Various limits of the degree of allowable operation in choke have been established. Based on test data and numerical data, the behavior ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)The results of a stability test on a centrifugal compressor during the full load test of the entire compression train are presented. A Magnetic Exciter was installed at the shaft end in order to excite the first lateral ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2012)A case history is presented pertaining to five pumping systems that operated satisfactorily until a new production requirement was imposed on the pumping systems. A new slurry product initially developed at lab scale was ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)This tutorial provides general guidance on the topic of operations and maintenance of unspared compressor trains and their auxiliary systems. It is targeted towards entry level engineers working in the operations and ...

(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)Optical alignment is a technique which has proven its usefulness in original installation, repair and maintenance of turbomachinery. Optical alignment, sometimes referred to as optical tooling utilizes precision optical ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)The rotordynamic stability of high pressure compressors is strongly affected by the aerodynamic effects induced by the gas flow through rotor-stator seals. In particular the tangential velocity (swirl) of the gas flowing ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)The gas turbine, as is used in most applications, does not utilize its maximum potential. There are many reasons that this state of affairs remains, most significant being cycle and metallurgical limitations. In this paper, ...

-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)The pressure packing is a critical component of every reciprocating compressor. High wear leads to increased process gas leakage rates which can result in a compressor shutdown. Excessive leakage can even cause fugitive ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)Numerical optimization methods offer a powerful new technology for pump users when combined with pumping system analysis software. Whether the design goal is to reduce first costs or life-cycle costs, this technology ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)When pump systems are not optimized for best efficiency, they drain corporate profits with higher energy and maintenance costs, shorten mean time between repairs and increase CO2 emissions. Optimized pump systems are more ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)Effective asset management strives to maximize reliability and performance while minimizing maintenance and operation costs. Asset management improvement is possible by integrating new advances in smart online pump monitoring ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)Most turbomachinery users refer to bearing vibration as one of their major indicators of a successful repair. Frequently heard are such comments as "we could not even tell the machine was running." The single most ...
