(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)In a major refinery there was excessive failures of centrifugal pumps, that cost the company millions of dollars every year. A new failure prevention strategy was developed to reduce the high cost of failures.
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)It is well documented that the proper operation of vertical centrifugal pumps is greatly dependent upon the entire pump/piping system, which includes the piping geometry and the system operating conditions. Oftentimes, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)The reduction of abrasive wear and extension of the endurance of pumps requires a system analysis. Various pump types demonstrate different tribological systems under abrasive wear, which are basically dominated by sliding, ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)Acid gas removal (AGR) using a high pressure amine solvent in a contactor tower is widely used to sweeten sour gas and render it suitable for commercial distribution. Acid gas removal is also common in other applications ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1984)The design of reliable pumps is of the utmost importance in petrochemical and power installations. Downtime can be costly in terms of lost production and in the power industry loss of generating capability. In order to ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)This tutorial will explain the pumping system speed of sounds concept (how to account for acoustic velocity changes due to pipe wall flexibility and liquid properties), the definition of quarter-wave, half-wave, and higher ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)Increasing environmental awareness and the ongoing need for improved reliability has seen an increase in the number of water reinjection installations, both onshore and offshore, and in particular in recent years, the use ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)Adjustable speed drives (ASDs) are commonly used today in conjunction with large alternating current (AC) induction motors to drive pumps. The ASD application can provide many operational and energy conservation advantages. ...
-
Advanced Gas Sealing Systems For Hydrofluoric Acid Alkylation And Other Extremely Hazardous Duties (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)Mechanical seals are a critical component in the operation and reliability of centrifugal pumps and other rotating equipment. While there is a great deal of focus on the fundamentals of mechanical seal design, there is an ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)API 682 is the leading document for mechanical seals in petrochemical, chemical, and pipeline services worldwide. It has combined the aspects of seal design, testing, standardization, and applications to provide the users ...

(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)Traditionally, the hydraulic design of impellers has been more of an empirical art than a well-defined engineering science. Because of the empiricism, new designs have been disappointing at times. Discussed here is a “new” ...
