Rotordynamics
The Turbo Lab’s Rotordynamics course, offered each spring, is for beginning- and intermediate-level engineers in the petroleum, chemical, power and gas industries. It provides a basis for understanding the rotordynamics—the behavior and diagnosis— of turbines, compressors, expanders, motors, pumps and generators and their subcomponents to help select, analyze, troubleshoot and repair them for maximum reliability. The course is packed with case studies and workshops for hands-on evaluation of actual machines.
Malcolm Leader has instructed the course for ten years.
