Mixer Mechanical Design - Fluid Forces
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
This paper describes the mechanical design of a mixer with the emphasis on the fluid forces that are imposed on the impellers by the fluid continuum in the mixing vessel. The analysis shows that the forces are a result of ...

Avoiding Failures In Centrifugal Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
Pump reliability problems are responsible for a large amount of the maintenance budget and lost-opportunity cost at chemical plants, refineries, and many electric utilities. This tutorial outlines the typical reasons for ...
Prefilled Equipment Baseplates - How To Get A Superior Equipment Installation For Less Money
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
This paper outlines a new void-free baseplate installation method that saves over 30 percent of the installation costs, when compared to traditional two-pour grouting methods. Common field installation problems are discussed, ...
Optimizing Pumping Systems To Minimize First Or Life-Cycle Cost
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
Numerical optimization methods offer a powerful new technology for pump users when combined with pumping system analysis software. Whether the design goal is to reduce first costs or life-cycle costs, this technology ...
Operation And Current Developments Of Self-Contained, Self-Lubricating Thrust And Journal Bearings Systems
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
Self-lubricating, self-contained fluid-film thrust and journal bearings have been in use since the 1920s. These bearing systems offer relative simplicity in a reliable, stand-alone package. Recent testing has shown that ...
