  • The Effect of the Process on Turbomachinery Reliability)
    “DO AS I SAY” (THE EFFECT OF THE PROCESS ON TURBOMACHINERY RELIABILITY) by William E. Forsthoffer President Forsthoffer Associates Inc., Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania William E. (Bill) Forsthoffer spent six years at the Delaval Turbine Company, as Manager of Compressor Project Engi- neering, where he designed and tested centrifugal pumps and compressors, gears, steam turbines, and rotary (screw) pumps. Mr. Forsthoffer then joined the Mobil Research and Development Corporation. For five years, he directed the application, selection, design, testing, site precommis- sioning, and startup of the Yanbu Petrochemical complex in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. Following that, he returned to MRDC and established a technical service program for Mobil affiliates to provide application, troubleshooting, and Figure 1. Diagram of Centrifugal Pump. training services for rotating equipment. He left Mobil in 1990 to found his own company, Forsthoffer Associates, Inc., to provide training, critical equipment selection, and troubleshooting services to the refining, petrochemical, utility, and gas transmission industries. Mr. Forsthoffer is a graduate of Bellarmine College with a B.A. degree (Mathematics) and from the University of Detroit with a B.S. degree (Mechanical Engineering). ABSTRACT This tutorial examines the primary cause of lower than expected reliability in turbomachines, the effect of the process on machinery component life. Over 95 percent of the rotating equipment installed in any refinery, petrochemical, or gas plant is the dynamic or “turbo” type. Their characteristics are limited energy output and variable flow rate determined by process energy requirements. INTRODUCTION Figure 2. Centrifugal Pump Component Damage and Causes. The objective of this tutorial is to emphasize the importance of understanding the effect of the process on turbomachinery reliability.

In order to assess the structural health of the blades, dynamic analyses are carried out in laboratory tests. Highly specialized test rigs are designed for analyses of blades in rotating and stationary operating conditions. Especially for stationary tests, it is crucial to artificially replicate the typical excitations acting on the rotor blades during operation, known as engine order excitation. m+p international designed a software package which enables engineers to generate an engine order excitation and analyze the dynamic responses of the turbomachinery blisks in the safety of the laboratory. Application Note Acoustic Excitation of Turbomachinery Blisks 1 Background: During operation the working fluid acts on the rotating turbine blades, creating a pulsating pressure field. Circumferentially expanding this pressure field yields a harmonic series whose coefficients are called engine orders. Basically, an engine order describes the number of sine waves traveling along the circumference of the rotor (figure 1). The corresponding excitation frequency is the product of the rotational speed and the specific engine order, EO. Only a few engine orders will be encountered during operation. Thus, it is often possible to reduce the whole pressure field to a single engine order. m+p international’s acoustic blisk excitation software replicates this engine order excitation by controlling the given actuators accordingly.

  • An Investigation of Turbomachinery Concepts for an Isothermal Compressor Used in an S-CO2 Bottoming Cycle
    The 6th International Supercritical CO2 Power Cycles Symposium March 27 - 29, 2018, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania An Investigation of Turbomachinery Concepts for an Isothermal Compressor Used in an S-CO2 Bottoming Cycle Jin Young Heo Seong Gu Kim Jeong Ik Lee PhD Candidate PhD Candidate Associate Professor KAIST KAIST KAIST Daejeon, South Korea Daejeon, South Korea Daejeon, South Korea ABSTRACT Various technology options are under progress to investigate the benefits of using an isothermal compressor for the s-CO2 bottoming cycle applications. In previous works, the partial heating cycle has been investigated to show that there can be great increase in total net work when an isothermal compressor is applied to the system. The research covers the investigation on mainly three different turbomachinery concepts to realize the isothermal compressor, the radial-type compressor with impeller cooling, the multistage compressor with intercoolers, and the axial-type compressor with rotor and stator cooling. As a result, the concepts are mainly limited by the realistic cooling flux level that can be applied to the heat transfer surface, but the multistage compressor with intercoolers may be a viable candidate as long as the pressure drop in intercoolers remains low. INTRODUCTION To combat the issue of global warming, the development of various technologies is currently under progress to improve the performance of the conventional waste heat recovery systems. Various sources of waste heat, from glass manufacturing, steel manufacturing, and gas turbine exhaust, can be recovered to generate electricity by adopting another power cycle [1]. Among the candidates to enhance the current performance limits, the supercritical CO2 power cycle (s-CO2 cycle) has been considered a viable option to replace the conventional steam Rankine cycle, the system most often utilized for the bottoming cycle.

  • Gas Turbines in Simple Cycle and Combined Cycle Applications
    GAS TURBINES IN SIMPLE CYCLE & COMBINED CYCLE APPLICATIONS* Gas Turbines in Simple Cycle Mode Introduction The gas turbine is the most versatile item of turbomachinery today. It can be used in several different modes in critical industries such as power generation, oil and gas, process plants, aviation, as well domestic and smaller related industries. A gas turbine essentially brings together air that it compresses in its compressor module, and fuel, that are then ignited. Resulting gases are expanded through a turbine. That turbine’s shaft continues to rotate and drive the compressor which is on the same shaft, and operation continues. A separate starter unit is used to provide the first rotor motion, until the turbine’s rotation is up to design speed and can keep the entire unit running. The compressor module, combustor module and turbine module connected by one or more shafts are collectively called the gas generator. The figures below (Figures 1 and 2) illustrate a typical gas generator in cutaway and schematic format. Fig. 1.

  • Turbomachinery Technology for Reduced Fuel Burn
    NASA SBIR 2016 Phase I Solicitation A1.07 Propulsion Efficiency - Turbomachinery Technology for Reduced Fuel Burn Lead Center: GRC System and technology studies have indicated that advanced gas turbine propulsion will remain critical for future subsonic transports. Turbomachinery includes the rotating machinery in the high and low pressure spools, transition ducts, purge and bleed flows, casing and hub. We are interested in traditional gas turbine turbomachinery, as well as in innovative concepts as exo-skeletal engines, intercooled gas turbines, cooled cooling air, waste heat recovery, and other concepts. NASA is looking for improvement in aeropropulsive efficiency. Areas of interest include: Improved components of current architectures and cycles, novel components and cycles to improve cycle limits, and novel architectures to improve mission efficiency limits. In the compression system, advanced concepts and technologies are required to enable higher overall pressure ratio, high stage loading and wider operating range. In the turbine, the very high cycle temperatures demanded by advanced engine cycles place a premium on the cooling technologies required to ensure adequate life of the turbine component. New capabilities as well as challenges are provided with expected increased use of ceramic matrix composites (CMC’s). Reduced cooling flow rates and/or increased cycle temperatures enabled by these technologies have a dramatic impact on the engine performance. Such improvements will enable reduced fuel burn, reduced weight and part count, and will enable advanced variable cycle engines for various missions. Innovative proposals in the following turbomachinery and heat transfer areas are solicited: Small core turbomachinery - Higher fan Bypass Ratio (BPR) will require more compact engine core sizes rather than by growing the fan diameter, resulting in large tip/endwall and purge flow losses.

  • How to Select Turbomachinery for Your Application
    How to Select Turbomachinery For Your Application 6325 West 55th Avenue Arvada, CO 80002 Kenneth E. Nichols P.E. How to Select Turbomachinery For Your Application Kenneth E. Nichols P.E. Barber-Nichols Inc. Abstract: Turbomachinery finds many applications in commercial, industrial, military, and aerospace applications. These turbomachines include pumps, compressors, fans and blowers, and turbines for prime movers. Other applications include turbines for generating shaft power. These turbines can be associated with closed Rankine or Brayton cycles for long duration power systems or open cycles where the driving fluid is expended to the atmosphere. The paper describes a method of predicting turbomachinery performance using dimensionless parameters of specific speed and specific diameter. This approach provides the preliminary designer information as to the best type of machine for an application. In addition, it provides parameters to determine the size of the machine. It also aids in the selection of the optimum speed for a turbine or pump, combination turbopump applications, or turbine-compressor matching in a Brayton cycle power system. Turbines that must operate over a range of power levels or with a changing exhaust pressure can be designed to have a broad performance range. Design techniques to improve the performance range of turbines are discussed. The paper presents examples of turbomachinery that have been designed for space applications. These include the turbines for a 15 KW closed Rankine Cycle Solar Power System, a hydrogen- oxygen fueled open cycle power system for short duration manned space missions, and a turbine driven hydraulic pump. Discussion: Through the technique known as dimensional analysis, the similarity parameters specific speed NS, specific diameter DS, Reynolds number Re*, and suction specific speed S, or Mach number Ma*, are derived which serve as convenient parameters for presenting the performance criteria of turbomachines.
