Reducing Energy Costs in the Texas State Agencies: Conservation and Policy Options: Volume II – Final Report
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M University, 1984)
Experimental Determination Of The Reverse Flow Onset In A Centrifugal Impeller
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1984)
The importance of problems related to machines operating at partial flow rate led to Societe Hydrotechnique de France (S.H.F.) to form a working group on the subject. In order to better understand partial flow phenomena ...
Air Model Testing To Determine Entrance Flow Fields
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1984)
The designer of the centrifugal pump impellers requires knowledge of the velocity flow field entering the impeller for several reasons. These include an assurance that a reasonably uniform field exists, that the leading ...
Does Impeller Affect NPSHR?
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1984)
The relationship between centrifugal pump impeller diameter, specific speed, noise and NPSH required is presented in this paper. A theoretical explanation is given to explain why NPSHR will significantly vary with impeller ...
Horizontal Process Pump Modifications To Comply With Api-610 Sixth Edition Forces And Moments
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1984)
The forces and moments stiffness criteria established by API-610, Sixth Edition has resulted in a new generation of horizontal process pumps and baseplates, each with increased structural rigidity. Pictures and text ...
Control Of Backflow At The Inlets Of Centrifugal Pumps And Inducers
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1984)
Cavitation surge or the interaction of backflow from the inlet of a centrifugal pump or inducer at low flow and low NPSH can be eliminated by the use of backflow recirculator. Experimental results from four pumps demonstrate ...
