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 ...
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 ...
TL07 - Direct Head Measurments for Turbomachinery Design
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
The isentropic head is one of the most important physical properties for the design and testing of compressors and turbines. It is a critical parameter for the determination of machinery work and power from test data and ...
TT04 - Performance of Industrial Gas Turbines--Tutorial
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Industrial gas turbines have performance characteristics that distinctly depend on ambient and operating conditions. Application of these gas turbines, as well as the control and condition monitoring, require to consider ...

Site Performance Testing of Centrifugal Compressors and Gas Turbine Drivers
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
While factory performance tests for compressors and gas turbines are well defined in ASME power test codes, and can be performed under well controlled conditions, site performance tests must be performed under the conditions ...
THE USE OF ACOUSTIC COMB FILTERS TO AVOID CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR DISCHARGE BLADE-PASS PULSATION INDUCED PIPING VIBRATIONS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2020)
Centrifugal compressor blade-pass interaction periodic pulsation can cause acoustic resonance conditions and pipe vibrations in the suction and discharge lines of the compressor. A series of two or more progressively placed ...
