Impeller Stall Induced by Reverse Propagation of Non-Uniform Flow
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
In the case of centrifugal compressors, minor non-uniform flow
upstream of the impeller is induced by an asymmetrical
configuration in the circumferential direction at the compressor
suction casing. This non-uniform flow ...

New Concept of On-Line Wash for Centrifugal Compressor
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
This paper introduces the development of new concept of on-line wash oil injection system which includes the optimization of
quantity of washing oil, location of injection nozzles, direction of nozzle entry, hole size as ...
Emerging Failures in Gas Turbine Engines Operating in Hot Environments
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Two (2) gas turbine engines operating offshore experienced Domestic Object Damage (DOD) failure with damaged blades in the HP compressor section.
The failures were caused by repeated use of a component undergoing wear ...
Operating With a Broken Pinion Teeth
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
There was a failure in the gear box of the main feed pump of the hydrocracker unit. As no spare was available, there was no immediate fix to the failure. A quick evaluation of the damage to the gear was done and an interim ...
