Flow-Induced Turbocomprosser And Piping Noise And Vibration Problems - Identification, Diagnosis, And Solution.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
The problem of flow-induced noise and vibration in turbocompressors and piping systems is complex and not readily understood. These problems are difficult to identify and solutions may not be obvious. A working knowledge ...
Rotating Equipment Loss Prevention - An Insurer's Viewpoint.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Accidents involving rotating equipment in chemical, petrochemical,
petroleum, and gas plants can result in damage to other
process equipment and catalysts along with lost production.
Conversely, process upsets, process ...
Design Considerations For Thrust Bearing Applications.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
The hydrodynamic thrust bearing load capacity-speed envelope is divided into three major regions by speed. Each region has its own set of limiting physical phenomenon that must be included in the analysis and presents a ...
Reliability Focused Maintenance System - A Case Study.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
A case study of how a large organization is utilizing the combined strengths of commercial off-the-shelf software packages to implement a corporate-wide reliability focused maintenance initiative is presented. The integrated ...
Large Motor Specification and Selection
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
The induction motor has been the work horse of industry for many years. It has achieved this position by virtue of its ruggedness, and relative low cost. Induction motors include the popular squirrel cage and the versatile ...
Improving Plant Economy Through Retrofit And Maintenance Of Compressors.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
Retrofits on compressors can become attractive if the operating requirements of a plant change. Often, compressor modifications are imposed by process changes due to market demands or new process technologies. Sometimes, ...
An Introduction And Case History Review Of Active Magnetic Bearings.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
The concept of magnetic levitation is not a new one and can be easily traced back to the 1800s [1). It is only recently, however, that the congruous technologies of electronic control systems, power electronics, and magnetic ...
Turbine-Generator Life Assessment/Extension.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
The approach and methodology to life assessment/extension are described. Items considered are nondestructive testing, material testing, flaw sizing, stress analysis, fracture mechanics analysis and cumulative damage analysis. ...
Turbomachinery Health Measurement Application And Misapplication
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
All machinery vibrates, has heat generated internally, and begins to wear as soon as it is put into service. The monitoring process must be customized for each class of equipment. If possible, each machine should be evaluated ...
Emergency Turbine Repair Procedures
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
Emergency repairs of a cracked steam turbine disc can be accomplished effectively by using sound basic engineering principles. One such method used to expedite a repair is reported.
