Recent Improvements in Load Capacity of Large-Steam-Turbine Thrust Bearings
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1961)The load capacity of tapered-land and pivoted-shoe thrust bearings has been increased significantly by the use of materials with high thermal conductivity and by modified shoe designs. Results ... -
Decentralized Peak-Shaving—Its Economic Significance to Electric Utilities
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1961)This paper discusses the procedure used in determining the possible economies to be obtained on an electric utility system through the establishment of an expansion policy for power production ... -
Advances in Steam Turbines for Marine Propulsion
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1961)Advances in the design and construction of steam turbines for the propulsion of ships growing out of current trends in the construction and operation of merchant ships, as distinct from naval ... -
Thermal Instability in High-Speed Gearing
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1961)Thermal-expansion effects in gearing have usually been considered from a steady-state point of view. A theory of thermal instability is developed which takes into account the tendency of the ... -
Cavitation in Centrifugal Pumps With Liquids Other Than Water
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1961)Conditions leading to cavitation of liquids other than water are examined. The concept of the thermal cavitation criterion is considered in view of new test data on hot water and other liquids, ... -
Centrifugal Pumps Used as Hydraulic Turbines
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1961)Centrifugal pumps may be used to advantage as small hydraulic turbines where low initial cost is imperative. Pump and turbine characteristics are presented for typical units and a procedure for ... -
Design of Suction Piping and Deaerator Storage Capacity to Protect Feed Pumps
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1961)The effect of transient suction pressure decay on a centrifugal boiler feed pump has been under study by Karassik, et al. Using concepts established by these authors, this paper presents an ... -
Field Adjustment of Hydraulic-Turbine Governors
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1961)This paper discusses certain aspects of the adjustment of hydraulic-turbine governors for stable operation on a-c networks and describes a series of field tests performed to determine satisfactory ... -
Field Testing and Adjusting of Hydraulic Turbine-Generator to Improve System Regulation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1961)This paper presents some of the results and methods of extensive hydro prime-mover governor tests conducted at the Big Creek Hydro System of the author’s company. Each governor response was ... -
Simplified Instrumentation and Field Checking of Hydraulic Turbine Governors
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1961)Preventive maintenance in regard to governor equipment is one of the more important and, in most instances, one of the least understood phases of present-day power plant maintenance. This paper ... -
Charts for Determining Size of Surge Suppressors for Pump-Discharge Lines
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1961)Surge suppressors are often used for the control of water-hammer pressures which occur in pump-discharge lines subsequent to power interruptions. This paper includes charts for determining the ... -
Vibration of Water-Turbine Draft Tubes
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1961)The vibration in the draft tube of a water turbine is most severe when the turbine is running on part load. This is caused principally by the vortex core of whirling water in the draft ... -
A New Runaway Speed Limiter for Kaplan Turbines
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1961)The object of the paper is to show that the maximum runaway speed of a Kaplan turbine can be reduced, from 2.5 to 3.0 times normal, inherently common for this type, to a maximum value of ... -
The Application of Similitude Theory for the Performance Prediction of Radial Turbines Within Small Scale Low Temperature Organic Rankine Cycles
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2015)For smallscale organic Rankine cycles (ORCs) to be a competitive technology, it is reasonable to assume that the same turbine design will be implemented into a range of different applications. It is therefore critical to ... -
Effects of Humidity Condensation on the Trend of Gas Turbine Performance Deterioration
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2015)Performance deterioration in gas turbine engines (GTEs) depends on various factors in the ambient and the operating conditions. For example, humidity condensation at the inlet duct of a GTE creates water mist, which affects ...
