Critical Speed Analysis Of An Eight-Stage Centrifugal Pump
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1985)
A critical speed and unbalance response analysis of an eight-stage centrifugal pump was performed, considering the variation of stiffness and damping coefficients with speed for both the oil firm bearings and the fluid ...
The New Fifth Edition Of API 618 For Reciprocating Compressors - Which Pulsation And Vibration Control Philosophy Should You Use?
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
The proposed Fifth Edition of API 618 (“Reciprocating Compressors for Petroleum, Chemical, and Gas Industry Services”) incorporates significant changes in the section concerning pulsation and vibration control. There are ...
Improved Reliability Through The Use Of Design Audits.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
Rotordynamic design audits of machinery and systems can be used to identify potential problems before manufacture, thus preventing costly project delays and downtime. Machinery engineers need to understand the types of ...
The Effects Of Valve Dynamics On Reciprocating Pump Reliability
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
Compared to leading edge technologies such as high speed turbomachinery, reciprocating pumps may appear to be a simple technology: A reciprocating plunger causes liquid to be drawn from a low pressure manifold through the ...
