Journal of Materials Exploration and Findings
Crude oil booster pump is one of the critical equipment in oil refinery operations. In aging plants that have been operating for more than 25 years, where reliability and maintenance issues on equipment often cause operational disruptions and even unplanned shutdowns. This study aims to develop a structured reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) strategy for crsude oil booster pump systems that is also in line with the principles of asset integrity management system (AIMS). This methodology follows the RCM II approach, starting with system function analysis, failure mode identification, and criticality assessment through Failure Mode, Effect, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) to determine …

Endwall contouring having significance in delineating ideal endwalls competent in thermal load depletion is the focus of this study. We have successfully utilized non-axisymmetric contoured endwalls to enhance turbine performance by controlling the secondary flow characteristics in a blade passage through steady-state numerical hydrodynamics. The supreme endwall pattern could lower the gross pressure loss at the design stage and is related to the size of the top-loss location being productively lowered. The selective numerical shape change using multi-objective optimization at the most prominent locations resulted in contoured endwall geometry and a considerable reduction of thermal exchange in the vane passage …
