On the Performance of Tilting Pad Bearings: A Novel Model for Lubricant Mixing at Oil Feed Ports with Improved Estimation of Pads’ Inlet Temperature and Its Validation Against Experimental Data
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Energy efficient operation of fluid film bearings demands savings in delivery flow while also managing to reduce fluid film and
pad temperatures. To achieve this goal, tilting pad journal bearings (TPJBs) implement a variety ...
Leakage and Force Coefficients for Pump Annular Seals Operating With Air/Oil Mixtures: Measurements Vs Predictions and Air Injection to Increase Seal Dynamic Stiffness
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
The lecture presents measurements of leakage and dynamic force coefficients for six annular seals operating with an air in oil mixture ranging from pure liquid to just air. Each seal has a distinct clearance configuration: ...
On The Leakage and Rotordynamic Force Coefficients of Pump Annular Seals Operating with Air/Oil Mixtures: Measurements and Predictions
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
In the subsea oil and gas industry, multiphase pumps and wet gas compressors add pressure to the process fluid thus enabling long
distance tie back system that eliminates topside facilities such as an oil and gas separation ...
