-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2011)A U.S. Gulf Coast refinery had experienced accelerated internal wear of FCCU cycle oil pumps, often requiring entire case replacements. Compared to typical industry pump performance, run lengths were shorter, and cost per ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)There are many types of couplings used on high performance turbomachinery. Explained are the differences in the various styles and configurations, and when one is preferable to another in certain applications.
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2014)Every engineer has his own idea of what makes a centrifugal pump a high energy pump, but getting 2 or more engineers to agree on a definition of "High Energy" is difficult. Is a pump high energy because it runs at > 6000 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)Optical alignment as we know it today was borne out of the aircraft construction industry. With the advent of necessity to maintain a straight line within closer tolerances and over greater distances, precision instrument ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2006)A methodology is presented to identify the most likely cause of failure for a cat cracker hot gas expander in which the “classic” failure mechanisms did not fit the evidence collected after the failure. Because the classic ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2006)This tutorial addresses the question of which compressor type is better suited to a given application - a centrifugal or reciprocating design. The general application map will be presented and discussed, as will the advantage ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University.

(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)What could typically drive support system selection towards Plan 54?A Plan 54 support system designation may be selected as it has specific advantages over Plan 53A, B, and C. The primary difference is that the circulation ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)This paper focuses the use of additive manufacturing (AM) for the production of gas turbine (GT) combustion system components. It discusses how AM methods are being employed to improve the reliability and thermo-mechanical ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)Crosshead guide acceleration measurements have gained mainstream acceptance by operators of API 618 recips and now joins frame velocity as a recommended shutdown parameter in the 5th edition of the API 670 Machinery ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1985)Wind energy has been used by man since the first ships sailed the Mediterranean Sea more than four thousand years ago. In the last two thousand years, wind has been used as a motive force to pump water for the cultivation ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)Background: Three multistage canned vertically-suspended pumps are installed at Kerrobert, Canada to transfer crude oil. The pumps are driven by 1000 HP vertical motor at 885 RPM. Problem Statement: The installed pumps ...
