Rotating machineries, often referred to as turbomachines, are machines that transmit
energy between a rotor and a fluid. They include turbines, compressors, and pumps
and are widely used in industries, namely power generation, oil and gas production,
and petrochemical. This book discusses the maintenance aspect of rotating
machines, through the collection of various works from different authors. The book
has been written to provide views of experienced engineers in the aspect of
maintenance of rotating machines. The book will be useful as a reference for
practicing engineers in the related industries mentioned earlier. The book will
provide them with a glimpse of some of the problems associated with rotating
machines or equipment in the field and help them to achieve maximum performance
efficiency and high availability. The editor would like to express his gratitude to all
the contributing authors for their time, effort, and dedication in preparing the
manuscripts for the book
