Rotordynamic And Dry Running Behavior Of A Full Scale Test Boiler Feed Pump
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1990)
Excessive rotor vibrations are one of the leading causes of damage to pump components, particularly to bearings, shaft seals, and premature wear of labyrinth surfaces. Under an EPRI contract which was awarded to Sulzer in ...
Torsional Vibration In Pump/Driver Shaft Trains - The Role Of External Damping From Pump Impellers
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Consideration of torsional vibration in pump/driver shaft trains has become of increasing importance with the development of electronically controlled variable speed electric motors. Such motors not only provide a static ...
Dynamic Loading On Pumps - Causes For Vibration
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
Some insight into the mechanism which generate lateral dynamic loads, and hence vibrations, on centrifugal pumps is presented in a general way, and the individual loads are explained and quantified. Without extensive use ...
Shaft Sizing For Multistage Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
For proper sizing of pump shafts, many criteria need to be considered such as stress, deformation, and rotordynamics. The authors try to shed more light on these areas in order to ensure economic, safe, and reliable pump ...
