      This tutorial demonstrates some aspects of rotating machinery diagnostics where there is an apparent difference between the actual response of a machine and its expected behavior for a certain type of malfunction as typically ...
    • Nelson, W. Ed (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1987)
      Maintenance is the art of prolonging or restoring the useful operating condition of a piece of equipment. Many engineers consider maintenance to be based on industrial mythology or folklore and as a result engineering ...
    • Nelson, William E. (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
      The reliability and failure mechanisms of high energy pumps used in the utilities industry and the high suction specific speed pumps used in the hydrocarbon processing industry show surprising parallels as to root causes. ...
