This is the final announcement for the 1997 Machinery Reliability
Conference, to be held on April 20-23 at the Sheraton San Marcos
Resort/Hotel, in Phoenix, Arizona. The conference will provide attendees
with information essential to the development of comprehensive
Reliability programs.  Technologies and techniques to be addressed in
individual Technology Tracks include:
- computerized maintenance management systems
- alignment
- balancing
- infrared thermography
- lubrication
- root cause failure analysis
- vibration 
Management issues will be addressed within a separate Management Track. 
Topics included are maintenance management strategies -- TPM, RCM -- and
various models for improving, measuring the performance of, and securing
the future of Reliability programs.
A special emphasis will be placed on "Teamwork".  In addition to the
three-day technical and managerial tracks, numerous opportunities will
be offered to attendees to encourage the development and strengthening
of team relationships throughout the plant and corporate organization.
More information is available at the conference web site:

A full agenda will available at this site shortly.

Dear konrad,
at 200d downstream, most of the papers I've seen, and my intuition say
it behaves as a plume if it is buoyant initially.  
However, some references are papers by List, also the books
Mixing in Inland and Coastal Waters,
Turbulent Jets and Plumes, List & Rodi, Pergammon Press.
Also, be very careful about return flow due to enclosed experimental area,
which affects momentum balance.
hope this helps & have a Happy Holiday Season.

apologies on previous erronous and incomplete posting. the goal posts 
have changed now however. the problem now is calculation of drag and the 
resultant power necessary to drive a section through a viscous medium. 
i'd like to know where i can find these values for various media (of 
varying viscousity and the various form factors for various sections 
(spherical, flat...etc) and for various dimensions. thanx.

I believe a stationary engineer is one who operates and maintains 
power plants (i.e. steam power plant for heating buildings). You 
can often find them in boiler rooms in large buildings or 
industrial plants. Sometimes, they are also called "power 
engineers" although the subtle distinction between the two is not 
clear.
