Turbomachinery Laboratory at Texas A&M

Turbomachinery Laboratory at Texas A&M The Turbo Lab at Texas A&M hosts continuing education events, conducts turbomachinery & pump resear

The Turbomachinery Laboratory is a center of the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES), part of the Texas A&M University System. The Turbo Lab conducts basic and applied research into important problems of reliability and performance of turbomachinery—rotating machinery that extracts or adds energy to fluids. That’s everything from the classic Dutch windmill to the space shuttle’s main e

ngine turbopumps and compressors that move natural gas through the distribution system. The Turbo Lab, established in 1982, continues to address the needs of users and manufacturers of turbomachinery and pumps. We are proud to continue Texas A&M University’s land-grant charter and tradition of attention to industry needs in three areas:
• Basic & Applied Research
• Undergraduate and Graduate Education
• Continuing Education & Professional Development

The Turbo Lab offers graduate engineering coursework through Texas A&M’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, and provides continuing education opportunities to users of turbomachinery and pumps all over the world. Opportunities include short courses and highly-regarded symposia in Houston, Texas and Singapore. The Turbo Lab also boasts a unique opportunity for turbomachinery developers and users to find answers to important questions about performance and reliability with the Turbomachinery Research Consortium (TRC). Learn more about our three areas of impact at turbolab.tamu.edu or email [email protected] for additional information.
