      Air filtration plays a key role in achieving high availability and low maintenance cost for Gas Turbines, in particular in offshore applications. Offshore applications pose a particular challenge, since they have to provide ...
    • Meher-Homji, Cyrus B.; Bromley, Andrew (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
      The privatization of utilities, intense competition in the petrochemical and gas distribution industries, coupled with increasing fuel costs, have created a strong incentive for gas turbine operators to minimize and control ...
    • Meher-Homji, Cyrus B.; Gabriles, George (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
      With blading problems accounting for as many as 42 percent of the failures in gas turbines (Allianz, 1 978) and with its severe effect on plant availability, there is a pressing need for a unified treatment of the causes, ...
    • Michalowski, R. W.; Malloy, M. K. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
      A government complex consisting of a number of State, County, and City buildings is currently under construction in the downtown area of Miami, Florida. Thermo Electron Corporation and Rolls- Royce Inc. are providing ...
