Gas Turbine Degradation
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
There is a strong incentive for gas turbine operators to minimize and control performance degradation, as this directly affects profitability. The area of gas turbine recoverable and non-recoverable performance degradation ...
Gas Turbine Packaging Options And Features
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
This tutorial provides an overview of typical packaging options for gas turbines in industrial applications. Applicable standards are discussed. The requirements for different systems, such as air filtration and fuel systems ...
Gas Turbine Performance and Maintenance
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
Proper maintenance and operating practices can significantly affect the level of performance degradation and thus, time between repairs or overhauls of a gas turbine. Understanding of performance characteristics of gas ...
Experimental Evaluation of Effectiveness of Online Water-Washing in Gas Turbine Compressors
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
An investigation of the effectiveness of online combustion turbine axial compressor washing using various purity grade waters and commercial washing detergents was performed. For this project, blade surface fouling dirt ...

(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Herrmann Foettinger as an alternative to a regular speed changing gear for shipboard propulsion. At that time, mechanical reduction gears for such high power applications were not available. The core idea of hydrodynamic ...
Industrial Gas Turbines
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
The course covers the new advanced technology gas turbines by outlining all the major components of gas turbines, such as axial flow compressors, axial flow turbines, and dry low NOx combustors. The components of a gas ...
Gas Turbine Life Limiting Effects Of Inlet And Interstage Water Injection.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)
Power enhancement technologies for gas turbines such as inlet fogging, interstage water injection, saturation cooling, inlet chillers, and combustor injection are being used by end users without evaluating the potentially ...
Site Performance Test Evaluation For Gas Turbine And Electric Motor Driven Compressors.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)
Field testing of compressor packages driven by gas turbines or electric motors requires the accurate determination of efficiency, flow, head, and power in sometimes less than ideal working environments. This paper discusses ...
Tutorial on Centrifugal Compressor Surge Control
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
For every centrifugal compressor installation, the design of the surge control system is vitally important to prevent damage of the compressor internal components, seals, and bearings. While most surge control systems are ...
TURBOMACHINERY FOR REFINERY APPLICATIONS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
