Pay Attention to Wearout Symptoms
Abstract
Kirk and Fred discussing how sometimes we get accustomed to a product starting to wear out when it is still functioning, and how long can we go without replacement.
Key Points
Join Kirk and Fred as they discuss the need to pay attention and the trade-offs of taking the expense of taking a system, such as a water treatment plant, offline and when is the optimal point.
Topics include:
- A mechanical wearout of a our own bodies and the trade off of extending the use of a system (a knee) before the need for replacement.
- Some of the indicators or precursors of wear out in in motors and vehicles, and when do we make the decision to replace a part or whole systems.
- What are the physics used for the measurement for newer wearout indicators, such as the new oil change filter “life” calculation in late models cars, and is it valid?
