These machines must be designed to move gases and liquids safely, reliably, and in an environmentally friendly manner. To fully understand rotating machinery, owners must be familiar with their associated technologies, such as machine design, lubrication, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, rotordynamics, vibration analysis, condition monitoring, maintenance practices, reliability theory, and other topics.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal of the “Advances in Rotating Machinery” book series is to provide industry practitioners a time-savings means of learning about the most up-to-date rotating machinery ideas and best practices. This three-book series will cover industry-relevant topics, such as design assessments, modeling, reliability improvements, maintenance methods and best practices, reliability audits, data collection, data analysis, condition monitoring, and more.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVolume one began the series by focusing on design and analysis. Volume two continues the series by covering important machinery reliability concepts and offering practical reliability improvement ideas. Best-in-class production facilities require exceptional machinery reliability performance. In this volume, exceptional machinery reliability is defined as the ability of critical rotating machines to consistently perform as designed, without degradation or failure, until their next scheduled overhaul. Readers will find this volume chock-full of practical ideas they can use to improve the reliability and efficiency of their machinery.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaintenance, Reliability and Troubleshooting in Rotating Machinery covers,\u003c\/i\u003e among many other topics:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e General machinery reliablity advice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Understanding failure data\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Design audits and improvement ideas\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Maintenace best practices\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnalyzing failures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface xvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements xix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: General Reliability Advice 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Machinery Reliability Management in a Nutshell 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eBy Robert X.
