Special Purpose Gearing - A Users Approach To Sound Application Engineering
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
A recent study of Exxon Corporation's world-wide machinery startups indicated that special purpose gear problems have not been critical in terms of project delays. However, the incidence rate of gear problems has been ...
Optimization Of Various Gas Turbine Cycles
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
The gas turbine, as is used in most applications, does not utilize its maximum potential. There are many reasons that this state of affairs remains, most significant being cycle and metallurgical limitations. In this paper, ...
Power Recovery Systems And Hot Gas Expanders.
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
As the cost of energy has always been a substantial factor in the overall cost of oil refining, engineers have devoted a great deal of attention to recovering the available energy in the high temperature flue gas of Catalytic ...
Electric Motors For Centrifugal Compressor Drives
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
In the past, the decision to use electric motors for centrifugal compressor drives has been made only after all other possibilities to use either a steam or gas turbine have been exhausted—or so it has seemed to motor ...
Gas Turbine Tutorial - Maintenance And Operating Practices Effects On Degradation And Life.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
Proper maintenance and operating practices can significantly affect the level of performance degradation and thus time between repairs or overhauls of a gas turbine. Proactive condition monitoring will allow the gas turbine ...
Full Speed String Test On LM6000PF Gas Turbine Driven Refrigeration Compressors
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Chevron Australia, as part of the Wheatstone Project, constructed a two train liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility and domestic gas plant at the Ashburton North Strategic Industrial Area, 12 kilometers west of Onslow on ...
Aero-Damping Measurements And Computation In A Full-Scale Multistage Centrifugal Compressor
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Great interest is being paid by Oil & Gas industry to the design of high speed and high pressure ratio centrifugal compressors. Static and dynamic stresses are becoming higher and, under critical conditions, aerodynamic ...
A Practical Guideline For A Successful Root Cause Failure Analysis.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
Root cause failure analysis is a process for identifying the true root cause of a particular failure and using that information to set a course for corrective/preventive action. From a technical standpoint, it is usually ...
Impeller Stall Induced By Reverse Propagation Of Non-Uniform Flow Generated At Return Channel
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
In the case of centrifugal compressors, minor non-uniform flow upstream of the impeller is induced by an asymmetrical configuration in the circumferential direction at the compressor suction casing. This non-uniform flow ...
Refining Fundamentals (Unpublished).
