Aerodynamic Design of Centrifugal Compressor Components Around Existing Rotor
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2020)
This case study covers the aerodynamic design of a centrifugal compressor that replaced an aging compressor experiencing leakage issues. The replacement compressor was required to reuse the existing rotor, bearings, seals, ...
Video Based Vibration: A tutorial and case study with a live demonstration and data analysis on real life pump data
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 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 ...
Introduction to Dry Gas Seals and Systems
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2020)
Dry gas seals are used as low-leakage shaft end seals for many centrifugal compressors and other turbomachines. This short course provides a comprehensive overview of sealing system and dry gas seals in various turbomachinery ...
High Strength Material for Hydrogen Service, an Experimental Investigation
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2020)
As an energy source, hydrogen has been a topic of discussion for some time. To support future energy demands, efficient means ofhydrogen compression will be required. Centrifugal compression may play a larger role in a ...
Balancing three-bearing rotors
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2020)
Multistage cryogenic pump rotors are vertically oriented and supported radially by three bearings. However, while the rotors are oriented vertically and supported in three planes, they are balanced horizontally in two-plane ...
HYDROGEN-COMBUSTION AND COMPRESSION
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2020)
Recently, the use of hydrogen-natural gas mixtures as a fuel, but also as a means of storing and transporting hydrogen from surplus electricity as a result of renewable energy production has drawn significant attention. ...
