Energy Consumption and Conservation Potential at a Georgia Textile Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
Textile manufacturing comprises approximately twenty percent of the industrial employment in Georgia. Because of the importance of this sector to the economy of this state and others in the southeast, efficient production ...
Computational Fluid Dynamical Analysis Of Complex Internal Flows In Centrifugal Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
A commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) computer code was employed to compute the flow field from 105 percent down to 21 percent of the 4525 gpm BEP flowrate of a 1785 rpm, 1500 specific speed impeller of 14,000 ...
Positive Displacement Pumps - Performance And Application
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
The operating principles of positive displacement (PD) pumps differ from centrifugal pumps. This basic difference is evident in the pump’s response to a system’s head/flow curve. Several pump applications are presented to ...
The Development Of Low Friction, Low Leakage Mechanical Seals Using Laser Technology
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
An ideal mechanical seal would operate reliably, for long periods, without wear, with permanently low friction and extremely low leakage. Real mechanical seals often do wear and leak appreciably, however, particularly when ...
Oil Mist Lubrication For The Petrochemical Industry
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
Oil Mist lubrication has been shown to be a very effective method for reducing maintenance costs by minimizing lubrication related bearing failures. What oil mist is, how it works, and typical results from its application ...
Analysis And Testing Of Alternative Bearings Materials For Applications In Sealless Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
As the usage of sealless pumps increases, so do the demands for journal bearing materials that can operate successfully through the thermal upsets that can take place in these pumps. Material specification literature is ...
Significant Energy and Material Reductions in the Continuous Casting of Certain Copper Alloys
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1994-04)
This project addresses the continuous casting of barstock in certain copper alloys. A superheated reservoir of molten alloy is maintained in a continuously heated holding furnace (tundish) during casting. These tundishes ...
NISCO Cogeneration Facility
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
The NISCO Cogeneration facility utilizes two fluidized bed boilers to generate 200 MW of electricity and up to 80,000 LBS/HR of steam for process use. The partnership, of three industrial electricity users, Citgo, Conoco, ...
Partnerships for Industrial Productivity Through Energy Efficiency
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
I have taken the liberty to apply my own logic
to the topic of "Partnerships" or "Joint Ventures",
particularly as applied to the opportunities,
difficulties, and conditions which presently exist
within the industrial ...
The Role Of Off-Design Pump Operation On Mechanical Seal Performance
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
Field experience indicates that a high percentage of centrifugal pumps in industrial applications are not operated at their best efficiency point as related to product flow. Dry running, gas ingestion, vibration, cavitation, ...
