Shellside Waterflow-Induced Tube Vibration in Heat Exchanger Configurations With Tube Pitch-to-Diameter Ratio of 1.42
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1989)The pitch-to-diameter ratio (P /D ) of the tube layout in shell-and-tube heat exchangers is one of the major parameters with which the designer may control heat transfer and pressure drop and ... -
Flow-Induced Vibration Analysis of an Integral Economizer Once-Through Steam Generator
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1989)The integral economizer once-through steam generator is a second-generation steam generator used in B&W’s 205-fuel assembly nuclear power plants. Besides having an integral economizer, this ... -
Dynamic Instability of a High-Speed Rotor Containing a Partitioned Cavity Filled With Two Kinds of Liquids
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1989)This paper is concerned with the dynamic instability of a high-speed rotor containing a partitioned cavity filled with two kinds of liquids of different density. The system considered simulates ... -
An Investigation Into the Post-Stable Behavior of a Tube Array in Cross-Flow
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1989)In the experimental determination of fluid-elastic stability thresholds in tube arrays, the critical flow velocity is normally approached from below. Once large amplitude whirling motions are ... -
Vibration of Tube Bundles in Two-Phase Cross-Flow: Part 1—Hydrodynamic Mass and Damping
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1989)Two-phase cross-flow exists in many shell-and-tube heat exchangers, such as condensers, reboilers and nuclear steam generators. An understanding of damping and of flow-induced vibration excitation ... -

Measurement of Tube-to-Support Dynamic Forces in Fretting-Wear Rigs
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1989)Tubes within tube and shell heat exchangers are supported at intermediate points by plates. Flow-induced vibration can cause tubes to impact and rub against these supports, or other tubes, and ... -
Flow-Induced Instability of Heat-Exchanger Tubes due to Axial Flow in a Diffuser-Shaped, Loose Intermediate Support
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1989)In some heat exchangers and steam generators, the flow is predominantly axial, and the external fluid flows between baffled compartments through enlarged holes in the baffles around the heat ... -
A Study of the Impact Dynamics of Loosely Supported Heat Exchanger Tubes
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1989)Heat exchanger tube bundles may be damaged by vibration induced from the cross flow. This damage generally occurs at the tube supports where the tube is only loosely supported. The loose ... -
