GAS TURBINE COMPRESSOR INLET AIR FILTERS PERFORMANCE COMPARISON
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2022)
Crude Oil Non-Pusher Secondary Seal
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2022)
Crude oil pipeline pumps traditionally suffer from seal leakage due to the fretting or wearing of the dynamic O-ring. A new concept secondary seal has been developed to eliminate this fretting occurrence. All major seal ...
AN OVERVIEW OF MACHINERY IN ENERGY STORAGE AND HYDROGEN APPLICATIONS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2022)
Decarbonization of electric power infrastructure requires the development of cost-effective, sustainable, and reliable energy storage technologies that are capable of many Megawatts or Gigawatts of output and long storage ...
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE� STG COMPRESSOR
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2022)
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause catastrophic mechanical damage and lower the life span of an asset if not detected early and rectified. Continuous discharge of static electricity can cause micro pitting of bearing ...
