      This paper presents results of an analysis of the annual electricity and natural gas savings from implementation of the 2001 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) specifications with updated 2006 specifications for ...
    • Nelik, Lev (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1991)
      In recent years, cooling requirements for mechanical seals have become a subject of controversial opinions. While the maximum limiting temperatures of mechanical seals are known and specified by seal manufacturers, the ...
    • Bultzo, Charles (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1975)
      Three first-stage impellers have failed in catalytic wet gas service. Two of the failed impellers were made of K-Monel material; the third was made of SAE 4330 material. In the first two cases, the structural integrity of ...

    • Farouz, H. E.; Gafford, G. D.; Eggebrecht, J. A.; Heffington, W. M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
      The Industrial Assessment Center at Texas A&M University extended assessments by spending about two extra days at each of three manufacturing plants. The extended assessments are characterized by use of sophisticated ...
    • Kaneko, Yasutomo; Mori, Kazushi; Miyawaki, Toshihiro; Hata, Satoshi (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
      The advanced integral shroud blade (ISB) structure has been developed to improve the reliability and thermal efficiency of mechanical drive steam turbines. This advanced ISB has been applied to not only the control stage ...

    • Cornman, Robert E. (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 ...
    • Flach, Patrick M.; Murphy, Mark J.; Anderson, William I. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
      For many years, acceptable seal performance was defined as “minimal or no visible leakage.” During the last decade, these definitions have changed immensely as government and industry have combined in a massive effort to ...
    • Karassik, Igor J. (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1990)
    • Share, H. M.; Martin, K. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
      Anheuser-Busch has been an EPA Climate Wise Program partner since 1997. Through the company's participation in the program-a voluntary industrial energy efficiency initiative in which companies work to turn energy efficiency ...
    • Childs, Dara W.; Vance, John M. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
      The possible negative or positive impact of annular seal on rotordynamics of compressors and steam turbines is discussed. The nature of destabilizing forces that can be developed by "seethrough" and interlocking labyrinths ...
    • Steiger, James E. (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 ...
