TT12 - Turbomachinery for Refinery Applications
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
This tutorial covers the basics, applications, and operation of compressors, expanders, steam turbines, and gas turbines in refinery applications. Modern refineries utilize a wide range of turbomachinery that must flexibly ...
TL09 - Dynamics of Modular Rotors in High Speed Centrifugal Compressors: Design, Operational Performance and Field Serviceability
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Turbomachinery depends on optimal rotor-bearing systems for reliable operation. One type of rotor construction is the concept of modular rotors. While gas turbines have implemented this concept extensively, there has been ...
TT01 - Tutorial on Centrifugal Compressor Surge Control
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
For every centrifugal compressor installation, the design of the surge control system is vitally important to prevent damage of the compressor internal components, seals, and bearings. While most surge control systems are ...
