Abstract: One type of test performed for evaluating bearings for application into turbomachinery is the synchronous bearing response to rotor imbalance. This paper presents rotordynamic tests on a rotor ...

Abstract: A rotordynamic analysis of a large turbocompressor that models both the casing and supports along with the rotor-bearing system was performed. A 3D finite element model of the casing captures ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a variant on the honeycomb-stator seal, which can extend the already strong stabilizing influence of this seal geometry for centrifugal compressors. The paper presents ...
