Wood, Daniel W.; Walters, Trey (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 ...

Hodgson, Judy; Walters, Trey (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 ...

Gaydon, Peter; Walters, Trey (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 ...

Walters, Trey; Marroquin, Amy; Smith III, Frank (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries, [2019])Waterhammer in pumping systems is an area of frequent concern to designers and operators. Waterhammer has the potential to cause catastrophic failures if not properly addressed. System designers have multiple options to ...

Blanding, James M.; Walters, Trey (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)High-pressure and flow metering systems often include a positive displacement (PD) pump and a network of piping and process equipment. Steady state pressure and flow dynamics (pulsation) is a common problem in PD pump ...
