    • Marscher, William; Olson, Eric; Onari, Maki; Boyadjis, Paul (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
      This course presents analysis and testing methods for pumps and turbomachinery. Focus is on centrifugal pumps of all types, centrifugal compressors, axial compressors, fans, steam turbines and gas turbines. Rotordynamics ...
    • Marscher, William D.; Olson, Eric J.; Boyadjis, Paul A.; Onari, Maki M. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
    • Corley, J. E. (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
      A large vertical pump with its associated motor driver constitutes a very complex dynamic system. The apparent simplicity of the visible cantilever portion of the machine belies the complex interaction of the unit with its ...
    • Wray, Lawrence (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
      A case history is presented in which vibration related problems with two pole electric motors have delayed acceptance of the complete pump packages by the end user. Noncompliance with contract specifications led to a major ...
    • Spencer, Joseph W.; Osborne, Don (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
      Large utility steam turbines have experienced very high vibration levels on their generator exciter bearings. Units where the exciter rotor is supported by a single bearing are particularly susceptible. This synchronous ...
    • Shen, Qinling; Smith, Patrick J. (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)
      During workshop testing of a new 3-stage main air compressor, higher than expected vibration levels were detected at stage 1 and 2 at start up. They are high enough that the machine could not be brought to the full speed. ...
    • de Noronha, Roberto Firmento (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
      During the startup of one of the compression trains of an offshore platform, in August/2006, excessively high vibrations were observed at the high pressure compressor. The same problem was also verified one week later, ...
    • Wachel, J. C.; Tison, J. D. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
      A wide variety of vibration and failure problems occur in reciprocating machinery and piping systems. Excessive piping vibration problems usually occur when a mechanical natural frequency of the piping system or compressor ...
    • Lerpiniere, A.; Bingham, M.; Walker, S. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)
      The new Medieval & Renaissance Galleries employ a passive approach to environmental control. The design exploits the massive nature of the building and uses sophisticated control techniques to minimise variations in humidity ...
    • Victoria Metropolitan Planning Organization (Victoria Metropolitan Planning Organization, 2005-06)
    • Hay, Jeff (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)
      Recent advances in camera technology allows the user to detect subtle motion and amplify that motion to a level visible with the naked eye. Furthermore displacements, phase and frequency of motions can all be determined ...
    • Sanders, Roy (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 1998)
    • Silvy, Valeen; Lesikar, Bruce J. (2005-10-18)
      This publication details the results of a survey of elected city officials and water managers in the Rio Grande River Basin of Texas and New Mexico. The participants ranked water conservation strategies for their communities.
    • Eaton, Fannie Brown (Texas Agricultural Extension Service, 1971)
    • Kane, J. F.; Bailey, W. F. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
      Training and development of people is absolutely critical to business success in the 21st century. Achieving this goal is increasingly difficult for many companies, however, due to issues carried over from the 20th century. ...
    • Lee, S. H.; Akin, O. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2005)
    • Cooper, Paul (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
      Energizing research and development on pumps in today’s emerging global and environmental context is envisioned as a major feature of the pump industry in the next quarter century. The mission for how to realize this vision ...
    • Walz, K. (Energy Systems Laboratory, 2011)
    • Bouilleaud (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
    • Isakson, P.; Eriksson, J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
      A prototype visualisation tool to display long time series of measured data was developed and tested. We report some ideas on the requirements and present our experiences from using the prototype in the evaluation of ...
