Abstract: A field investigation was made to determine the source and character of pressure pulsations in the boiler feed system of a central power station. By systematic equipment elimination, it was ...

Abstract: A pump which operates by setting up a vortex in a chamber in front of the impeller is often called a vortex pump. Vortex pumps by virtue of this design have a large free and open flow ...

Abstract: In refineries, power-recovery turbines are widely used in the fluid catalytic cracking process to extract power from particle-laden gases. The gas particles impinging on the blades cause blade ...

Abstract: An analytical technique is presented which permits calculating the off-design performance of radial, or mixed, flow centrifugal compressers and pumps. The method is based on the variation of ...

Abstract: The aerodynamic characteristics of centrifugal compressors are examined with special attention given to the range of flows normally in the unstable region. They are examined for the intended ...
