Adapting Compression Equipment to Accommodate Declining Well Pressures and Ensure Overall Efficiency in Mid/Late Field Life
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Case Study 9: Compression systems are designed for the governing process conditions. In the Oil and Gas industry, these conditions are often dynamic and a function of reservoir or field characteristics which have varying ...
The Challenge for the Accurate Determination of the Axial Rotor Thrust in Centrifugal Compressors
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Lecture 11: The axial thrust is basically generated by a pressure imbalance across the impeller. The impeller is subjected to a great force trying to move it against the incoming flow. The cumulative thrust of all impellers ...
Structural Dynamic Behavior of Frame 9E GTG Module for LNG Plant
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Lecture 9: The traditional onshore installation of heavy duty gas turbine generator trains, especially for power >80MW, is stick built on heavy and rigid concrete block foundation. The challenge of modularization is that ...
Design Validation of High Speed Ratio Epicyclic Gear Technology in Compression Systems
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Lecture 5: Epicyclic gear technology is a key factor to support thcompression growth strategy in electrified applications, due to the ever increasing transmission ratio required to meet the high compressor speeds. The paper ...
Definition of a Screening Criterion for Centrifugal Compressor Vibrations Induced by Inlet Gas Flow
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Lecture 4: The gas flow entering from the inlet flange of a centrifugal compressor may induce radial forces on the rotor, by directly impinging onto shaft or by generating asymmetric pressure fluctuations in the gas volume ...
Experimental Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Online Water-Washing in Gas Turbine Compressors
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Lecture 7: An investigation of the effectiveness of online combustion turbine axial compressor washing using various purity grade waters and commercial washing detergents was performed. For this project, blade surface ...
Gas Turbine Performance
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Tutorial 1: The power and efficiency characteristics of a gas turbine are the result of a complex interaction of different turbo machines and a combustion system. In this tutorial, we will address the basic characteristics ...
Discussion Group P1/T1: Monitoring Vibration and Other Critical Machine Conditions
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Discussion Group 04: Lubrication
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
