(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)History gets confusing. A lot of emails, vibration reports, and attempted fixes over the years. Customer spent 3 years working closely with OEM, Pump was shipped back to OEM for additional testing. OEM design suggestions ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)The boiler feedwater system in a world scale ethylene plant utilized horizontal multistage barrel case pumps and single stage impulse type steam turbine drivers with mechanical governors. As part of a major debottlenecking ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)Integrally geared centrifugal compressors (IGC’s) are a well-established and continually growing segment of the turbomachinery industry. They have proven to provide a high level of reliability, efficiency and design ...

-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)High reliability and large rangeability are required of pumps in existing and new plants which must be capable of reliable on-off cycling operations and especially low load duties. The reliability and rangeability target ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)As part of a major California refinery expansion project, a Delayed Coker was engineered with two heater charge pumps. Unfortunately, during the initial operations, both pumps failed within a few days of each other, causing ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)Cavitation In centrifugal pumps is one of the fundamental factors that affect performance, operability, reliability, and life. Every major manufacturer of engineered, high-energy, centrifugal pumps has addressed these ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2011)Owing to their impressive properties reciprocating positive displacement pumps are used in many applications. Pumping fluids at high delivery pressures and metering are the areas of frequent use. The design of reciprocating ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)Cavitation performance improvement of an industrial cryogenic pump is studied in this paper. A variable pitch helical inducer is designed and implemented to the existing pump assembly to enhance the cavitation performance ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)Cavitation is a phenomenon that is of great concern to both the design and operation of pumps. The presence of cavitation – that is, the formation of vapor bubbles in the flowing fluid that subsequently collapses – can ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)A unique hydrostatic throttle bushing concept has been developed and successfully tested. The throttle bushing is based on the concept of typical hydrostatic face seals, but incorporates improvements to minimize cavitation ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)High energy pumps often operate at high speeds to achieve compact designs with few stages. These pumps need special attention on cavitation performance because the cavitation erosion rate is related to impeller speed. This ...
