Range Versus Efficiency - Striking the Proper Balance
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
The paper addresses the balance between peak attainable efficiency and overall operating range that must be addressed when specifying, designing and/or selecting centrifugal compressors. The relative roles of the various ...
Gas Turbine Performance and Maintenance
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
Proper maintenance and operating practices can significantly affect the level of performance degradation and thus, time between repairs or overhauls of a gas turbine. Understanding of performance characteristics of gas ...
Rotating Component Modal Analysis and Resonance Avoidance - An Update
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
Rotating disk and blade fatigue failures are usually a low percentage of failures in most machinery types, but other than coupling / shaft end failures remain some of the most problematic for extensive repairs. High-cycle ...
Electric otors and Drives in Torsional Vibration Analysis and Design
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
Two types of prime movers are continuously applied for rotating machinery: mechanical and electric drives. This tutorial focuses on electric drives, which are actually composed of separate components: electric motor, ...
Experimental Evaluation of Effectiveness of Online Water-Washing in Gas Turbine Compressors
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
An investigation of the effectiveness of online combustion turbine axial compressor washing using various purity grade waters and commercial washing detergents was performed. For this project, blade surface fouling dirt ...
Combustion, Fuels and Emissions for Industrial Gas Turbine Combustion
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
It is important that gas turbines used in Oil & Gas applications can burn a wide variety of fuels with the minimum impact on the environment or economics. Many types of gaseous and liquid fuels that can be used in Industrial ...
Deep Off-Shore Combustion Air Filtering System Analysis - Off-Shore Filter Systems Analysis to Peak GTG Availability and Reliability in Harsh Condition
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
Review of Experimental Sub-Synchronous Vibrations on Large Size Tilting Pad Journal Bearings and Comparison with Analytical Predictions
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
Tilting pads journal bearing (TPJB) force coefficients are usually evaluated by the Lund approach where pad degrees of freedom are reduced to those of the shaft (8 Synchronous Reduced Coefficients), therefore for each shaft ...
