Any professional working at a production site for any length of time knows that process machinery comes in a wide range of designs and sizes, but not all process machines are considered equal. Some machines are more critical to the process than others, some are small, some are very large, some spin fast, and some turn relatively slowly. The great diversity in their construction and application can be daunting to those new to the industry and sometimes even challenge machinery veterans. There are many common concepts that apply to all equipment types, but each equipment category has its own unique application and performance characteristics, including cavitation in liquid handling pumps, surging in centrifugal gas compressors, rotor instability in high-speed centrifugal compressors, and the effect of the compression ratio on a reciprocating compressor’s the discharge temperature. It is also essential for users to understand how and why different types of machinery fail, keeping in mind that the common failure modes differ greatly between rotating machinery types. We know that by addressing the common types of failure modes associated with each machine type, we can achieve significant improvements in their reliability.   The first step in organizing an effective machinery reliability program is committing to performing failure analyses and gathering failure statistics. These activities will help users learn how and why their machines are failing. The next step is to continuously modify machines, processes, and methods to avoid common failures. Process Machinery Handbook: For Field Personnel, Decision Makers, and Students gives students and professionals alike the tools they need to understand the fundamentals of working with rotating machinery.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51604208255249,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51604208484625,"sku":"NGR9781394214457","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1394214456.jpg?v=1754287097"},{"product_id":"who-s-the-dj-book-robert-perez-9781478789574","title":"Who's the DJ","description":"DON'T BE FOLED BY A DJ WHO SELS A DREAM AND PROVIDES A NIGHTMARE. I wanted to write about the ways the field has evolved. Some people have either never learned the original craft or think that throwing a party is an easy task. Who's the DJ provides you with the tools one will need to become a successful member in the world of the Disc Jockey. This classic form of musical art is being changed by technology every day, but it still works under the same principals of the years past. I wrote this book to help inform those that want to learn the basic skills to get started, and to teach others how to spot a fake DJ from a professional one. I provide real life situations that can and have occurred to me as well as others. I love music and the art behind being a DJ. I hope that this book helps get that message across while providing powerful insight to what a real DJ should be when a person calls them self one.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53336629477649,"sku":"NIN9781478789574","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781478789574.jpg?v=1774315712"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-robert-perez.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
