Instabilities of geared couplings: Theory and practice [PDF]
The use of couplings for high speed turbocompressors or pumps is essential to transmit power from the driver. Typical couplings are either of the lubricated gear or dry diaphragm type design.

This work presents and validates a direct analytical methodology for the parametric hydrodynamic design of Pelton rotors. The proposed approach combines a one‐dimensional theoretical framework for defining global geometric rotor parameters with an inductive method for generating bucket geometry, formalized from a comprehensive mapping of a high ...
