The Operator's Critical Need For Quality In Turbomachinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1986)
Advanced Technologies For Turbomachinery Systems - An Overview
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1982)
Any performance gain in a turbomachinery system requires some advancements in a number of technological areas. The components (compressor, combustor, and turbine), materials, structural integrity, lubrication, bearings, ...
New Developments In Centrifugal Compressors
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1982)
Design goals and operating experience with a new bearing design and a new microprocessor based compressor control system are discussed. Both of these developments are included in a compressor designed for the small centrifugal ...
Abradable Seals In Turbomachinery
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1982)
The intent of this paper is to describe various aspects of the application of abradable seals to industrial turbomachinery. Topics covered include sealing locations, materials, comparative studies and examples of the use ...
Prerotation And Fluid Recirculation In The Suction Pipe Of Centrifugal Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1982)
Two groups of pumps were investigated in great detail and the analysis showed that large variations in QcR, for the same design specific speed, can be obtained by modifying the design of the rotating channels. An attempt ...
Shop Full-Load Testing Of Centrifugal Compressors
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1982)
The high reliability traditionally required of turbocompressors has become even more imperative in recent years, due to increased unit power and the extreme environmental conditions of many applications. These machines are ...
Inlet Flow And Aspects Of Cavitation In Centrifugal Impellers
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1982)
This paper describes the relationships of inlet velocity distribution, incipient cavitation and suction performance of centrifugal pumps. It also discusses, in particular, the aspects of cavitation as related to inlet ...
Some Aspects Of Field Performance Testing
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1981)
The incentives are well recognized for conducting field performance tests on centrifugal compressors in petrochemical service. From the maintenance standpoint, stage-by-stage changes in thermodynamic performance are valuable ...
An Improved Method For Calculating Critical Speeds And Rotordynamic Stability Of Turbomachinery
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1981)
A number of the computer programs for rotordynamic stability and critical speed prediction in common use during recent years have been based on the works of Myklestad, Prohl and Lund. Programs of this type, called transfer ...
