T7 - Industrial Gas Turbines
(Turbomachinery LaboratoryTexas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
The course covers the new advanced technology gas turbines by outlining all the major components of gas turbines, such as axial flow compressors, axial flow turbines, and dry low NOx combustors. The components of a gas ...
T9 - Lateral Rotordynamics of Petrochemical Equipment - Review, Examples and Problems
(Turbomachinery LaboratoryTexas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Reliability and operability of rotating equipment is strongly tied to its dynamic behavior. High vibrations resulting from poorly designed machinery can lead to bearing damage, efficiency loss due to internal rubbing, ...
PT08 - Midstream Pipeline Applications � Design Aspects and Considerations for Mechanical Seals
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
There are few applications that place a significant demand on mechanical seals such as those associated with the handling of various fluids through pipelines. Pipeline applications are unique in that they typically encompass ...
PT06 - Transforming Condition Monitoring into effective Condition Based Maintenance
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
It is clearly understood by most Maintenance and Reliability professionals that a Condition Monitoring program should identify faults ahead of failures, allowing time for scheduling of remedial works and the management of ...
PT03 - Understanding Waterhammer in Pupmping Systems and Surge Supression Options
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Waterhammer in pumping systems is an area of frequent concern to designers and operators. Waterhammer has the potential to cause catastrophic failures if not properly addressed. System designers have multiple options to ...
PT10 - Precision Grouting of Turbomachinery
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Rotating equipment being installed in industrial environments, including refineries and chemical processing plants, are critically aligned with exact tolerances. When in operation, this equipment experiences heavy dynamic ...
PL03 - Realistic Expectations from a Unique Plan 66A Bushing Design
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
The 66A dual bushing arrangement is used to provide leak detection on crude oil pipeline pumps. Here the effectiveness of the arrangement in detecting seal leakage and providing leakage containment are examined through ...
PL02 - Cavitation sensing and optimization in Rotary Positive Displacement Pumps for transfer duties
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Pumps used in terminal transfer duties have a unique set of demands placed on them. They must be able to accomplish all of the following reliably and consistently: ? Transfer as fast as piping network allows (minimize ...
PL01 - Technical Considerations for Submerged Sea Water Lift Pumps Specification and Selection�[More Info]
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Sea Water Lift (SWL) Pumps are applied in offshore units for cooling and fire water services. The specification of the SWL pump operating conditions is an iterative process where proper alignment between the supplier and ...
PL05 - A FEM APPROACH TO PREDICT ACOUSTIC RESONANCE IN MULTISTAGE CENTRIFUGAL PUMP
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Acoustic resonance that can develop within the hydraulic channels of the pump, especially in the long crossover channel of a multistage, has always had in the past a minimal consideration if compared with other dynamic ...
