      It is common to control several rooms in a building with a single sensor in one of the rooms and a single actuator driving just one control element such as an air damper. New, low-cost, wireless sensor technology now offers ...
    • Tutterow, V.; Walters, T. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
    • Theising, T (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2008)
      Energy Teams have been established at seven BASF locations to facilitate implementation of the findings from the 2003 and 2004 Energy Audits conducted at these Sites. These Teams were charged with implementation, progress ...
    • Meckler, M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      An extensive independent evaluation recently was completed of the Multi-Source Hydronic Heat Pump (MSHHP) system, a proprietary heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system developed by Meckler Systems Group. ...
    • Yang, Jinseok; Kim, Kangmoon (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)
      Generally, the centrifugal pump vibration caused by mis-alignment, unbalance or bearing failure. But, I have seen two abnormal vibration phenomena in a multi-stage high pressure pump which has 13th stage impeller.First ...
    • Guerrero, Ricardo; Grebinnyk, Kirill; Gowreesan, Vamadevan (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
      This tutorial session is intended to provide insights into the failure analysis approach taken by authors for various components across different types of turbomachinery, such as steam turbines, axial and centrifugal ...
    • Cooper, Paul; Schiavello, Bruno; Salis, Jacques de; Marolles, Charles D.; Prang, Allan J.; Broussard, Dan (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
      Pumping crude oil and gas without prior separation greatly reduces the machinery and platform space required. Multiphase pumps can be located at the surface or subsea and are designed primarily as a) two-screw rotary or ...
    • Vetter, Gerhard; Wirth, Wolfgang; Korner, Heiko; Pregler, Sabine (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
      Crude oil and gas production can be enhanced by multiphase pumping from the well subsea to far distant production platforms. The twin-screw pump has proven quite suitable for this application. The positive displacement ...
    • Heyl, Bob (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
    • Stokes, Kenneth; Barnaby, G. A. Art; Waller, Mark L.; Outlaw, Joe (2008-10-07)
      The Actual Production History insurance plan protects against crop losses from a number of causes. All aspects of this insurance are described, including reporting requirements for the producer.
    • Evans, B. Fred; Mccraw, James F.; Elliott, Greg (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
      Test stand vibration measurements on a partially loaded 54,000 hp, parallel shaft, double helical speed increaser revealed synchronous resonant vibrations near normal operating speed. Further testing confirmed the lateral ...
    • Romero, M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)
      WOW Energy built and tested its multipollutant removal WOWClean® system in a development program with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). A 2,500 ACFM mobile unit was built to field test the removal of ...
    • Krishnamoorthy, Niveditha; Graham, Alex; Read, Alex; Buonfiglioli, Marco (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)
      The use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for understanding the fire hazard potential, can be an alternative to experimental studies for the process safety industry. Detailed experimental measurements are available for ...
    • Maxwell, Trey; Griffith, John (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
      The majority of horizontally split multistage pumps were designed when packing was the only cost effective method of sealing the pumpage from atmosphere. As a result, even modern pumps employ a stuffing box pressure ...
