Commissioning A New Multiphase Pump Visualization Test Rig To Investigate The Internal Flow Field And Its Connection With Pump Performance
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2022)
Pumps with helico-axial impellers are used to boost mixtures of gas and liquid, for instance in subsea production of unprocessed oil and gas. Experimental data is essential to fully understand and characterize the internal ...
High Temperature Sealing Advancements Utilizing Non-Contacting Gas Seal Technology
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2022)
Non-contacting dual pressurized gas lubricated seals for use in pumps have been in service since the early 1990’s. The application of these seal designs has expanded over time into very high temperature applications up to ...
Visualization Of Oil-Water Emulsion Formation In A Centrifugal Pump Stage
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2022)
Electrical submersible pumps are assembled in oil wells to act as artificial lift methods. When water is present in the reservoir, oil-water emulsions are formed in the pump. These two-phase mixtures affect the performance ...
