The Application Of Flexible Couplings For Turbomachinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
Flexible couplings are too often thought of as a piece of hardware rather than a vital parts of power transmission systems. Virtually every user has a story about a piece of equipment with a coupling problem. Sometimes the ...
Turbomachinery Health Measurement Application And Misapplication - Part II.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
In Part I of "Turbo machinery Health Measurement – Application and Misapplication" (Proceedings of the 17th Turbomachinery Symposium, 1988) the fundamentals of machinery monitoring were presented. This tutorial is presented ...

Setting Vibration Criteria For Turbomachinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
Vibration of a journal within a fluid film bearing produces a dynamic load on the babbitted bearing surfaces. A rational vibration criterion can be based on a consistent magnitude of this dynamic load among widely different ...
Maximizing Compressor Efficiency While Maintaining Reliability.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
The natural gas and chemical processing industries have historically and necessarily demanded high reliability from their centrifugal compressors, which has led to a significant emphasis on field experience of designs. ...
Using A "Sound Tube" To Measure Noise Of Structural Sources In High Background Noise Environments
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
Described in this paper is a device referred to as a soundtube, which has been designed to accurately measure only the normal component of the surface velocity of a vibrating structural noise source. Both laboratory and ...
Reverse-Indicator Alignment And Related Subjects
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
This paper is a discussion of reverse-indicator measurement and other alignment subjects. The basic steps in doing an alignment job and some of the tooling that can be used will be described.
Unique Fan Vibration Problems: Their Causes And Solutions
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
Operating requirements for new fans demand that greater attention be given to the design of the total installation including everything from the foundation to the ducts. Rotor dynamic analysis without adequate consideration ...
Fouling Of Axial Flow Compressors - Causes, Effects, Detection, And Control.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
The fouling of axial flow compressors is a serious operating problem in gas turbines and in process axial flow compressors. Gas turbines are being increasingly used in cogeneration applications and with the large air mass ...
Reapplication Of An Induction Steam Turbine To Extraction Cogeneration Service.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
Reapplication of used power equipment can shorten project schedule and decrease capital cost significantly. The following is a broad overview of the reapplication of an FCC airblower steam turbine to 15 megawatt cogeneration ...
