Impact Of Swing Conditions On Turbine Design.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
Frequently, large swings in operating conditions are specified when purchasing turbines. Although the objective of these operating conditions may be to insure conservatism, they also may result in turbine designs which ...
Design, Testing And Commissioning Of A Synchronous Motor-Gear-Axial Compressor.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
This paper presents the design features involved in providing two air compressor trains at high efficiency. Testing and commissioning data are also presented, including specific electrical requirements; foundation and ...
Rotor Dynamics Modification Of An Eight Stage Compressor For Safety/Reliability Improvement.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
The catastrophic failure of a high pressure centrifugal air compressor utilizing air-pressurized bearing housings dictated the redesign of its sister compressor. The modification of this early 1950's compressor involved ...
Mechanical Seals For High Face Speed Applications.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
The rotating equipment industry's ever-increasing demand for efficient, safe and reliable seal elements has resulted in the application of mechanical seals in turbomachinery at very high face speeds. In addition to the ...
A Technical Approach To The Maintenance And Overhaul Of Gas Turbines.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
Conventional approaches to maintenance of large machines are effective, but they often have problems in the areas of record keeping, access to knowledge gained from previous experience, lack of intimate knowledge of ...
A Generalized And Simplified Transient Torque Analysis For Synchronous Motor Drive Trains.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
The start-up of synchronous motor drive trains is usually associated with torsionally excited vibrations and low-cycle fatigue problems. Traditional calculation methods used for analysis of such a system involve computerized ...
Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 12th Turbomachinery Symposium
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
Industrial Cogeneration System Application Considerations.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
This paper reviews many of the factors that require evaluation in the development of steam turbine and gas turbine cogeneration systems. The impact of federal energy legislation on the gas turbine cogeneration alternatives ...
Performance Of Adipate Diester Synthetic Lubricants In The Hydrodynamic Regime.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
Diester based synthetic lubricants provide numerous performance advantages over mineral oils in industrial applications. The synthetics not only .permit significant extension of oil drain intervals and application over a ...
Low Frequency Buckets For Industrial Steam Turbines.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
Bucket failures have been known to occur on the later stages of industrial type steam turbines after prolonged operational life of as much as five or six years. All of these failures are characteristically fatigue in nature. ...
