PROTOTYPE TILTING PAD THRUST BEARING WITH NOVEL CERAMIC MATERIAL FOR HARSH SERVICE
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
Product-lubricated pumping applications require extremely robust bearings, especially in the case of sand-loaded lubrication fluids. For high power/high speed pump applications, tilting pad bearings are the preferred bearing ...
Cavitation Prediction and Avoidance in Design using Semi
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
Cavitation is a phenomenon that is of great concern to both the design and operation of pumps. The presence of cavitation – that is, the formation of vapor bubbles in the flowing fluid that subsequently collapses – can ...
Pump Success Stories
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
Processes across different sectors of energy business. This lecture paper describes two case studies which may help machinery diagnostic engineers / condition monitoring engineer in understanding real life vibration ...
Shannon’s Machine Capacity & Degradation
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
Current methodologies on health assessment and diagnostics of systems and components are limited in analysis and accuracy. Methodologies like artificial intelligence or limit checks examine statistical significance rather ...
Cavitation Performance Improvement of an Industrial Cryogenic Centrifugal Pump by Implementing Variable Pitch Inducer
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
Cavitation performance improvement of an industrial cryogenic pump is studied in this paper. A variable pitch helical inducer is designed and implemented to the existing pump assembly to enhance the cavitation performance ...
L120: THERMO-STRUCTURAL TRANSIENT ANALYSIS OF A BOILER FEEDWATER PUMP
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
In the last few years, the installed capacity and production of electricity from all the renewable energies have significantly risen, supported by an ever-increasing spread of new energy policies all around the world. ...
DESIGN, TESTING, COMMISSIONING AND OPERATING EXPERIENCE OF A 2000HP HYDRAULIC TURBOCHARGER FOR ACID GAS RECOVERY PROCESS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
Four sets of hydraulic turbocharger based energy recovery systems (2000 hp each) were successfully designed, manufactured, tested and commissioned for Acid Gas Recovery plants (AGR) in Saudi Arabia. The hydraulic turbocharger ...
