A Tribology Casebook

<i>A Tribology Casebook</i> is different to other engineering books in that it describes what actually happens under real life operating conditions. By presenting a collection of<br /> incidents drawn from practice, this book illustrates the practical issues and problem solving approaches needed to deal with real situations that engineers are likely to come<br /> across in their working lives. <p>CONTENTS INCLUDE:</p> <ul> <li> <div>Aeration foaming, and contamination of lubricating oils by water in service</div> </li> <li> <div>Analysis techniques</div> </li> <li> <div>Boundary lubricating properties of polyglycols</div> </li> <li> <div>Climatic effects</div> </li> <li> <div>Condition monitoring: temperature measurement</div> </li> <li> <div>Corrosive wear</div> </li> <li> <div>Crankcase explosions</div> </li> <li> <div>Fires and explosions in air compressors and compressed air systems</div> </li> <li> <div>Lubrication in other environments than air</div> </li> <li> <div>Manufacturers are not always right</div> </li> <li> <div>Materials for plain bearings</div> </li> <li> <div>Mechanical seals</div> </li> <li> <div>Plant memory and myths.</div> </li> </ul>
