Multiphase Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
Development And Field Test Results Of High Performance Seals For An NGL Injection Pump
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Improvement in the efficiency of enhanced oil recovery techniques at the Kuparak, Alaska, oil field required replacement of reciprocating pump with a larger capacity centrifugal pump. During the specification of a high ...
The Suction Performance Of Centrifugal Pumps Possibilities And Limits Of Improvements
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Following a brief description of the general suction performance of pumps and starting from an impeller designed for standard requirements, it will be discussed by which modifications and up to which limit the suction ...
The Control Of Variable Speed Pumps In Parallel Operation
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
The features are discussed of a PLC based control scheme that was developed for a multipump pumping station to be used to supply oil field produced liquids (crude oil and associated water) from tanks through a dehydration ...
Two-Phase Flow Performance Of A Heat Transport Pump
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Heat transport pumps in Canadian deuterium uranium reactor circulate coolant to remove fuel decay heat from the reactor core during normal and accident conditions. A loss-of-coolant-accident is one condition where heat ...
The Use Of Basic Hydraulics To Solve Field Problems: Three Cases
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Single stage double suction horizontally split pumps are widely used in cooling tower water applications. Their operational record varies depending on installation (sump and piping detail), mode of operation, speed, specific ...
Slurry Pipeline Design For Operation With Centrifugal Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
The following covers what the writer sees as the main considerations involved in the design of a slurry pipeline. It is broken down into sections. This section is concerned mainly with the slurry and design of the hydraulics ...
Centrifugal Pump Hydraulics For Low Specific Speed Applications
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
The hydraulic coverage in the low specific speed region has been ignored by most centrifugal pump manufacturers because of unfavorable hydraulic characteristics, and manufacturing obstacles such as small, difficult to cast ...
Dry Start Bearing For Vertical Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
Compound bearings made of PTFE and synthetic rubber were developed for vertical pumps to startup without initial lubricating water. Through various experiments, they were clarified to be superior to any other bearings of ...
Heat Transfer In Mechanical Seals
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
Numerous studies have shown that mechanical seal reliability is related to the state of the fluid between the seal faces. In turn, the fluid state depends on the seal face temperature. Unfortunately, calculating the seal ...
