The Application Of Flexible Couplings For Turbomachinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
Flexible couplings are too often thought of as a piece of hardware rather than a vital parts of power transmission systems. Virtually every user has a story about a piece of equipment with a coupling problem. Sometimes the ...
Turbomachinery Health Measurement Application And Misapplication - Part II.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
In Part I of "Turbo machinery Health Measurement – Application and Misapplication" (Proceedings of the 17th Turbomachinery Symposium, 1988) the fundamentals of machinery monitoring were presented. This tutorial is presented ...
Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 18th Turbomachinery Symposium

Setting Vibration Criteria For Turbomachinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
Vibration of a journal within a fluid film bearing produces a dynamic load on the babbitted bearing surfaces. A rational vibration criterion can be based on a consistent magnitude of this dynamic load among widely different ...
Maximizing Compressor Efficiency While Maintaining Reliability.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
The natural gas and chemical processing industries have historically and necessarily demanded high reliability from their centrifugal compressors, which has led to a significant emphasis on field experience of designs. ...
Rotordynamic Developments For High Speed Multistage Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1986)
At present, the majority factor limiting the designer’s ability to predict the rotordynamic behavior of multistage centrifugal pumps is the availability of accurate input data for the forces acting on the rotor. Recent ...
The Effect Of Specific Speed On The Efficiency Of Single Stage Centrifugal Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1986)
A chart relating the efficiency of centrifugal pumps to the specific speed and capacity at the maximum efficiency capacity has been in use in the pump industry for almost forty years. While it has been useful to both the ...
Analysis Of Nozzle Loads For Process Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1986)
Under extreme conditions, pumps may be required to withstand severe nozzle loads, which often exceed the API 610 specified values. To meet these requirements, pump mechanical behavior versus nozzle loads must be examined ...
API 610 Baseplate And Nozzle Loading Criteria
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1986)
The baseplate and nozzle loading criteria in the December 1985 draft version of API610 7th Edition is substantially different from the criteria found in the 6th Edition. The optional heavy duty baseplate criterion has been ...
Analytical And Experimental Techniques For Solving Pump Structural Resonance Problems.
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1986)
Proper use of current analytical and experimental techniques is essential to finding and solving structural resonance problems in pumps. Available techniques vary from the relatively simple to the very complex. Accuracy ...
