Application Of High Speed And High Performance Fluid Film Bearings In Rotating Machinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
Some of the critical parameters in the design and application of high performance fluid film bearings are emphasized. The limitations and problems associated with high speed and highly loaded bearings will be discussed. ...
Centrifugal Compressor Application Sizing, Selection, And Modelling.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
The objective here is to build on the fan law paper presented at the Twentieth Turbomachinery Symposium [1]. The centrifugal sizing and modelling tutorial draws on the pseudo compressor stage curves presented in the fan ...
Some Thoughts On Avoiding Metallurgical Failures.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
Predicting potential problems that will ultimately lead to premature material related failures and implementing the necessary corrections during design, fabrication, and commissioning has long been recognized by some as ...
Vibrations In Reciprocating Machinery And Piping Systems.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
A wide variety of vibration and failure problems occur in reciprocating machinery and piping systems. Excessive piping vibration problems usually occur when a mechanical natural frequency of the piping system or compressor ...
Magnetic Bearing Operating Experience.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
Over the past 10 years, magnetic bearings have been making significant changes to the rotating equipment industry. As magnetic bearing systems become more accepted and the numbers of applications increase, so do the operating ...
Tilting Pad Bearing Design.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
The basics of tilting pad bearing design are discussed to include limits of operation for load, speed, and metal temperature. Optimum temperature sensor locations are recommended for self-aligning and nonaligning tilting ...
General Purpose vs. Special Purpose Couplings.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
Flexible couplings are a vital part of a power transmission system. What type is selected, how much the coupling costs, and how much effort one spends on selecting a coupling and determining how it interacts with a system ...
Process Safety Management.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
