    • GAS TURBINE PACKAGING OPTIONS AND FEATURES 
      Brun, Klaus; Kurz, Rainer; Nored, Marybeth (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
      This tutorial provides an overview of typical packaging options for gas turbines in industrial applications. Applicable standards are discussed. The requirements for different systems, such as air filtration, and fuel ...
    • IMPACT OF PIPING IMPEDANCE AND ACOUSTIC CHARACTERISTICS ON CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR SURGE AND OPERATING RANGE 
      Brun, Klaus; Nored, Marybeth; Kurz, Rainer (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      The performance of a centrifugal compressor is usually defined by its head versus flow map, limited by the surge and stall regions. This map is critical to assess the operating range of a compressor for both steady state ...
    • INLET FOGGING AND OVERSPRAY IMPACT ON INDUSTRIAL GAS TURBINE LIFE AND PERFORMANCE 
      Brun, Klaus; Kurz, Rainer; Nored, Marybeth; Thorp, Joseph (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
      The usage of an industrial inlet fogging and overspraying system on a 35,000 hp frame type industrial gas turbine in high pressure gas reinjection service was aimed to provide additional shaft power output and improved ...
    • Introduction to Industrial Gas Turbines 
      Kurz, Rainer; Winklemann, Bernhard (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
    • METS2 Short Course 6 
      Kurz, Rainer; Brun, Klaus (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
    • OPERATION OF CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS IN CHOKE CONDITIONS 
      Kurz, Rainer; Fowler, Edward; Marechale, Russell; Ji, Min; Cave, Michael (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
      Centrifugal compressors are at times required to operate in or near the choke region. Various limits of the degree of allowable operation in choke have been established. Based on test data and numerical data, the behavior ...
    • A PROBABILISTIC APPROACH FOR COMPRESSOR SIZING AND PLANT DESIGN 
      Kurz, Rainer; Zentmyer, Erik; Thorp, J. Michael; Brun, Klaus (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      Equipment sizing decisions in the Oil and Gas Industry often have to be made based on incomplete data. Often, the exact process conditions are based on numerous assumptions about well performance, market conditions, ...
    • TUTORIAL: GAS TURBINE PERFORMANCE 
      Kurz, Rainer; Brun, Klaus (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      The power and efficiency characteristics of a gas turbine are the result of a complex interaction of different turbo machines and a combustion system. In this tutorial, we will address the basic characteristics of each ...
    • TUTORIAL: SURGE CONTROL AND DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR FOR CENTRIFUGAL GAS COMPRESSORS 
      Kurz, Rainer; White, Robert; Brun, Klaus; Winklemann, Bernhard (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      This tutorial discusses the design and function of surge control systems, or more precisely, surge avoidance systems on the basis of the behavior of centrifugal compressors when they interact with compression systems. ...
