Uses structure-borne sound sensors mounted at the zone‑1 edge to avoid clipping, samples at 2 MHz sampling, and manual annotation yields 879 labeled patches fed through FFT-based features and simple classifiers. The pipeline consumes ~36 CPU‑days to explore windowing and downsampling; a feed‑forward net and SVC reach 0.97–0.99 balanced accuracy/F1 distinguishing degraded versus intact nozzles, but only one physical intact nozzle was available so generalization across nozzle sizes remains unverified.
