Evaluation Of Rotordynamic Criteria For Multistage Pump Shafts
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
For the last 20 to 30 years rotordynamic tools with ever increasing simulation capabilities have been available for the design of multistage centrifugal pumps. Nevertheless, customers sometimes still specify criteria ...
How To Improve Reliability In Centrifugal Pump Systems Through The Automatic Tuneup Of Pumps Within Their Best Operational Condition
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
Many centrifugal pump reliability problems are closely related to oversizing of pumps, which leads to highly restricted discharge valve operation, and flowrates are far below the best efficiency point (BEP), which are ...
Reducing Reliability Incidents And Improving Meantime Between Repair
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
Recently much attention is being given to the total cost of pump ownership. In many cases, for process plants, the cost of unscheduled maintenance can become critical since these costs can impact production runs and result ...
Numerical Prediction On Air Entrainment In Pump Intakes.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
Pump intake is designed to provide adequate water supply to pumps. It is essential to design the pump intake to provide fairly uniform and swirl free flow to pumps. However, it is not always possible due to site constraints. ...
Application Of Numerical Optimization To Seawater Pumping Systems
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
A new project to increase the oil produced at Khurais, Saudi Arabia, was the focus of a study to determine the optimal pipeline size and pump combination for a 90.4 mile (145.5 km) long, treated-seawater transfer line ...
