Gas Turbine Performance - What Makes The Map?
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
The power and efficiency characteristics of a gas turbine are the result of a complex interaction of different turbomachines and a combustion system. This tutorial addresses the basic characteristics of each of the components, ...
The Historical Evolution Of Turbomachinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
This paper presents a comprehensive treatise of the antecedents, evolution, developments, and inventions relating to turbomachinery from early paddle wheels to modern turbojets emphasizing the constant challenge, failures, ...
Designing High Performance Steam Turbines With Rotordynamics As A Prime Consideration.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
Steam turbines first produced useful work well over a century ago. Their reliability, efficiency, and versatility are possibly the three man attributes that have contributed to their widespread utilization in a wide range ...
API Centrifugal Compressor Oil Seals And Support Systems - Types, Selection, And Field Troubleshooting.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
Even though dry gas seals for centrifugal compressors are becoming more popular, knowledge and understanding of oil seals and their associated support systems are still very important. Many existing compressors still have ...
Integrally Geared SPI 617 Process Gas Compressors.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
Integrally geared (IG) centrifugal compressors, originally developed for plant and instrument air service, continue to gain acceptance in process gas applications as an alternative to other types of centrifugals, and in ...
Review Of API Versus AGMA Gear Standards - Rating, Data Sheet Completion, And Gear Selection Guidelines.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
There are many gear tooth and gearbox rating standards existing in the world. For a given gearbox, the rating system that is used can give very different answers in the amount of power that can be transmitted. If a user ...
A Review Of Aerodynamically Induced Forces Acting On Centrifugal Compressors, And Resulting Vibration Characteristics Of Rotors.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
There are several sources of nonsynchronous forced vibration of centrifugal compressor rotors. Many of them are aerodynamic phenomena, created within the gas path of the compressor. Phenomena such as impeller stall, diffuser ...
