Development and Application of Very High Flow Covered Stages for Process Centrifugal Compressors
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
For process centrifugal compressor applications, achieving higher flow rates through a given sized compressor can reduce capital cost while still meeting process requirements. Key technologies for enabling such higher flow ...
AN EFFECTIVE METHOD TO SEPARATE THE FORWARD AND BACKWARD NATURAL FREQUENCIES IN TURBOMACHINERY VIBRATION TEST MEASUREMENTS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
As speed and power density increase, validation of analytical prediction with actual test data plays an important role to ensure avoidance of critical speeds in high-speed turbomachinery and a reliable design. For a typical ...
