Abstract: Piping systems handling high-pressure and high-velocity steam and various process and hydrocarbon gases through a pressure-reducing device can produce severe acoustic vibration and metal fatigue ...

Abstract: Criteria are formulated for the development of acoustic vibration in transverse acoustic modes in steam generator tube banks, based on flow and acoustic parameters. Theoretical predictions are ...

Abstract: Tube banks of operating steam generators were evaluated for resonant acoustic vibration in the transverse acoustic mode, using a number of published vibration criteria and a range of Strouhal ...
