Analytical Troubleshooting
Analytical Troubleshooting Of Process Machinery And Pressure Vessel Including Real-World Case Studies
Evolving industrial technology-driven by the need to increase safety while reducing production losses-along with environmentalfactors and legal concerns has resulted in an increased em phasis on sound troubleshooting techniques and documentation . AnalyticalTroubleshooting of Process Machinery and Pressure /esse/s provides both students and engineering professionals with the tools necessary for understanding and solving equipment problems in today\'s complex processing environment. Drawing on fortyyears of industrialexperience in the petrochemical, transportation, and component manufacturing industries, the author introduces analytical models that utilize simple mathematics to provide engineers with the information needed to understand equipment operation and failure modes. This will allow engineering professionals to talk intelligibly with manufacturers, implement modifications required for continued operation, and ultimately help them save millions of dollars in lost production or warranty clarms. Readers will find in-depth coverage of factors that can cause equipment failure, including: o Gomponent wear and fretting o Vibration of machines and piping o lnstabilities and sizing 0f pumps and compressors o Thermal loads and stresses o Gear, bearing, shafting, and coupling loading o Corrosion and materials of c0nstructi0n
