    • Centrifugal Compressor Sidestream Sectional Performance Prediction Methodology 
      Fakhri, Syed A. K.; Pacheco, Jorge E.; Koch, Jay M. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
      The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the sensitivity of sidestream sectional performance curves to the volume flow ratio, sidestream loss coefficient and section inlet conditions. A model to determine sectional ...
    • Centrifugal Stage Performance Prediction And Validation For High Mach Number Applications 
      Kowalski, Steven C.; Pacheco, Jorge E.; Fakhri, Syed; Sorokes, James M. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
      Centrifugal compressors used for process applications like Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plants require operation at high machine Mach numbers (>1) due to the heavy gas and reduced footprint requirements. Performance guarantees ...
    • LNG Propane Compressor Performance Prediction and Large Scale Test Validation 
      Pacheco, Jorge E.; Fakhri, Syed; Vezier, Clémentine; Koch, Jay M. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
      This paper presents results of the large scale testing of the first two stages, including incoming sidestream flow of a LNG propane compressor. The large scale test was performed at 90% scale of the production propane ...
