Maximizing Machinery Uptime, Volume 5

Maximizing Machinery Uptime, Volume 5 (Practical Machinery Management for Process Plants)
Packt Publishing | ISBN: 0750677252 | 672 pages | April 16, 2007 | PDF | 9 Mb


The authors use their decades of experience and draw upon real-world examples to demonstrate that the application of their techniques provides a basis for equipment management, uptime maximization, and reduced maintenance costs. The text explores reliability assessment techniques such as Failure Mode, Effect Analysis, and Fault Tree Analysis of commonly encountered rotating machinery. These are all highly effective techniques that the engineer can apply to maximize uptime and thereby maximize production and profitability.
*Provides the tools to drastically improve machinery productivity and performance
*Bridges the gap between the theory of "reliability engineering" and the practical day-to-day measures that lead to machinery uptime
*Authoritative reference for maximizing the uptime of process equipment



Practical Machinery Management for Process Plants: Volume 4

Practical Machinery Management for Process Plants: Volume 4, Second Edition:
Major Process Equipment Maintenance and Repair

Gulf Professional Publishing | 1997 | Englisch | Pages: 700 | Richard E. Goodman | ISBN 088415663X | PDF | 19 Mb

This updated edition is an invaluable source of practical cost-effective maintenance, repair, installation, and field verification procedures for machinery engineers. It is filled with step-by-step instructions and quick-reference checklists that describe preventive and predictive maintenance for major process units such as vertical, horizontal, reciprocating, and liquid ring vacuum pumps, fans and blowers, compressors, turboexpanders, turbines, and more. Also included are sections on machinery protection, storage, lubrication, and periodic monitoring. A new section examines centrifugal pumps and explains how and why they continue to fail. More new information focuses on maintenance for aircraft derivative gas turbines. This revised edition gives special attention throughout to maintenance and repair procedures needed to ensure efficiency, performance, and long life.

Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery


S. L. Dixon, Cesare Hall, "Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery"
Butterworth-Heinemann; 6 edition | English | 2010-03-24 | ISBN: 1856177939 | 481 pages | PDF | 3.8 mb

Turbomachinery is a challenging and diverse field, with applications for professionals and students in many subsets of the mechanical engineering discipline, including fluid mechanics, combustion and heat transfer, dynamics and vibrations, as well as structural mechanics and materials engineering. Originally published more than 40 years ago, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery is the leading turbomachinery textbook. Used as a core text in senior undergraduate and graduate level courses this book will also appeal to professional engineers in the aerospace, global power, oil & gas and other industries who are involved in the design and operation of turbomachines. For this new edition, author S. Larry Dixon is joined by Cesare Hall from the University of Cambridge, whose diverse background of teaching, research and work experience in the area of turbomachines is well suited to the task of reorganizing and updating this classic text.
