This tutorial covers a range of factors that must be considered in the piping design associated with the installation of any new centrifugal compressor system. Multiple factors must be balanced in the piping design to have ...

This paper gives an overview on the “Morton Effect” and explains how synchronous rotor instability, due to non-uniform heating of bearing journals, can occur in high-speed turbomachinery. The paper was also presented in ...

The paper describes the link between additive manufacturing techniques and topological optimization design process. An overview of Inconel718 printed material characteristics and as printed quality is given Finally ...

The new generation of LNG plant are moving toward a larger size, that mean larger compression stations, driven by higher power gas turbine that can arrive and exceed 100 MW. This increase of specific power means also ...

Side channel pumps provide high pressure at relatively low flow rates. This comes along with a quite low specific speed and thus with the known disadvantage of a quite poor maximum efficiency. This paper describes the ...

Crude oil pipeline pumps traditionally suffer from seal leakage due to the fretting or wearing of the dynamic O-ring. A new concept secondary seal has been developed to eliminate this fretting occurrence. All major seal ...

In this paper, a combined study between Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and a model test has been carried on a Cooling Water Pumping Station as part of a new power plant. The aim of this work was to validate a water pit ...
