New Technology In Turbine Aerodynamics
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
This paper presents a cursory review of some of the recent work that has been done in turbine aerodynamic research at NASA-Lewis Research Center. Topics discussed include the aerodynamic effect of turbine coolant, high ...
High Speed Journal And Thrust Bearing Design
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
There are many approaches to the design of thrust and journal hearings for high speed turbomachinery, ranging from the simplest flat thrust bearings and plain journal hearings to the very sophisticated multiwedge designs ...
Aerodynamics Of Turbines
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
The transformation between work and other forms of energy is accomplished in turbomachinery. The ability of a turbine to produce work when handling a compressible fluid and when taking either its axial or radial configuration ...

(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
a. Prediction and Analysis of the Reliability of Turbomachinery Installations-Influence of various components on over-all reliability, such as of turbines, compressors, gears, motors, piping, foundations. Critical items ...
New Developments In Compressor Aerodynamics
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
This paper deals with the new developments in compressor aerodynamics. The emphasis in this paper is on the various aerodynamic developments that have led to better compressor performance. An outline of a new technique to ...
Commissioning A Gas Turbine-Compressor Single Lift Package For Offshore Gas Reinjection Applications
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
Sixteen centrifugal stages in two cases driven by a Rolls Royce AVON jet and a single stage power turbine compress natural gas of Mol Weight 23 from a pressure of 65 to 2000 psia. The rotating train, the coolers, the ...
Selection And Application Of High Speed Gear Drives
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
This will be an exploration of the relevant factors involved in successfully applying gear drives to high speed rotating machinery. Relationships of internal design features to external equipment and couplings is defined ...
Present Instrumentation And Future Trends In Real Time Analysis Equipment
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
In the past instrumentation available to the diagnostician for analysis of machinery problems was limited to swept narrowband filter systems and, less important, parallel narrowband filter systems. Although useful for ...
Fluid Film Bearing Design Considerations
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
The basic and practical design concepts of fluid film bearings as applied to turbomachinery will be discussed. The discussion will cover specific applications that are representative of a wide range of conditions that can ...
Centrifugal Compressor Operation And Maintenance
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
The operation and maintenance of centrifugal compressors varies considerably depending upon the size, speed, horsepower, and type of driver. Typical centrifugal compressors vary from high speed, low flow applications to ...
