Maximum Efficiency for High Head Process Pumps –Optimizing Side Channel Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Side channel pumps provide high pressure at relatively low flow rates. This comes along with a quite low specific speed and thus with the known disadvantage of a quite poor maximum efficiency.
This paper describes the ...
Crude Oil Non-Pusher Secondary Seal
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
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 ...
Cooling Water Pump Station Optimization Using CFD and Physical Model Test
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
In this paper, a combined study between Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and a model test has been carried on a Cooling Water Pumping Station as part of a new power plant. The aim of this work was to validate a water pit ...

Successful Application of Nitrogen Turboexpanders-Compressors to Floating and Land-Based Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) Facilities
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
LNG production in the form of large land-based Mega-trains and floating production, storage and offloading facilities (FPSOs) have been of particular interest in recent years. The task of designing and building these ...
Testing of A 10 MWE Supercritical CO2 Turbine
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
A new high temperature turbine was developed for use a sCO2 closed-loop recompression Brayton cycle. This turbine was developed for Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) applications (700+C), but its application includes traditional ...
Surge Exploration Tests and Second Quadrant Characteristic Dynamic Modeling on Full-Scale Centrifugal Compressor
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Surge exploration tests on a full-scale centrifugal compressor have been performed allowing an evaluation of the transient behavior and the mechanical robustness of the compressor even during a critical event such as Surge. ...
Fundamentals of Centrifugal Pump and System Interaction
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Are you confused by the variety of pumps? Know how to properly size pumps?
Did you know that proper pump selection can reduce maintenance & energy costs?
Do you understand what causes cavitation in pumps and how it can ...
Optimizing Pumping Systems with Proven Engineering Assessment Processes and Methodologies
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
When pump systems are not optimized for best efficiency, they drain corporate profits with higher energy and maintenance costs, shorten mean time between repairs and increase CO2 emissions. Optimized pump systems are more ...
