Krüger, Susanne; Martin, Nicolas; Dupont, Philippe (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2010)Wear erosion needs special attention in pump design as it can lead to severe damage of the pump and restrict its lifetime significantly. It therefore determines to a large extent the selection of a pump. During the design ...

Martins, Guilherme Vasconcellos; Lima, Enio von Haehling (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2010)The static head content in the total head of a pumping system (static head factor - fHS) plays an important role on energy and reliability potential gains attainable with the use of variable speed (VS) controls in pumping ...
-
Bermudez, Reinaldo (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2010)Delayed coking is a refining process that consists of the upgrading of petroleum residues into lighter and more valuable hydrocarbon fractions by promoting thermal cracking on the residue stream. Petroleum coke is a ...
-
Frantz, Gregory (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2010)Pump adds an ingredient to a reaction vessel. Both short periods of loss of flow and long periods of excessive flow variation will impact product quality. Correct performance of this pump is critical to uptime and first ...
-
Morrow, Stephen J. (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2010)Materials used in seawater pumps depend upon many factors that include seawater quality, materials limitations and processing characteristics, as well as materials cost and availability. Many newer high alloy stainless ...
