AN INVESTIGATION OF THE COMPRESSOR SLUGGING PHENOMENON.

Summary

THE PAPER PRESENTS THE RESULTS OF A PRELIMINARY EXPERIMENTAL AND ANALYTICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE SLUGGING INDUCED OVERPRESSURES. THE EXPERIMENTAL ASPECT OF THE PROJECT INVOLVED INSTRUMENTING A REPRESENTATIVE COMPRESSOR, AND THEN OPERATING IT UNDER SIMULATED SLUGGING CONDITIONS. FOR THE ANALYTICAL STUDY, TWO COMPUTER SIMULATION PROGRAMS WERE DEVELOPED FOR THE EXAMINATION OF THE COMPRESSOR PROCESSES UNDER SLUGGING-LIKE CONDITIONS. EXPERIMENTAL AND ANALYTICAL RESULTS COMPARE FAVORABLY AS THE TRENDS AND THE QUALITATIVE FEATURES HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE SIMILAR.
