Discussion Groups for the Proceedings of the 29th Turbomachinery Symposium
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
Low Emissions Combustion Technology For Stationary Gas Turbines Engines.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
The need to control exhaust emissions from stationary power sources is dictated by environmental regulations that limit the amount of smoke (particulates), sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and oxides of ...
Rod Drop Monitoring, Does It Really Work?.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
In 1994, the Twenty-Third Turbomachinery Symposium featured the first session of Discussion Group 12, “Reciprocating Compressors.” Each year since its inception, there has been one consistent discussion topic brought up ...
Torsional Vibration Analysis Of Synchronous Motor-Driven Turbomachinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
One of the foremost concerns facing turbomachinery users today is that of torsional vibration. In contrast to lateral rotordynamics problems, torsional failures are especially heinous since the first symptom of a problem ...
FCC Hot Gas Expander Reliability Upgrade Evaluation.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
The hot gas expander (PRT) is an integral part of the refinery’s fluid cat cracker unit’s PRT train. Since 1995, the PRT has experienced four unplanned outages due to blade and steam baffle bolting failures. These failures ...
Recent Technologies For The Reliability And Performance Of Mechanical-Drive Steam Turbines In Ethylene Plants.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
Recently, large capacity ethylene plants have been constructed in the world and the trend for the capacity of these plants is increasing. At present it reaches up to about one million tons per year and more. Accordingly, ...
Mechanical And Performance Testing Method Of An Integrated High-Speed Motor Compressor.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
The integrated electric motocompressor is a recently available technology that has the advantage of drastically simplifying the machine configuration. The use of a high speed electrical motor in the process gas combined ...
Piping Forces And Moments On Compressors And Steam Turbines.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
At recent chemical plants and liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants, the increase of plant capacity has caused the size of turbomachinery to increase and larger nozzle sizes are being utilized. Especially for offshore facilities, ...
