About this title

From the Publisher

Here is a comprehensive new treatment of fluid power whose balanced, broad-based coverage provides just the right combination of theoretical and practical information needed by technicians and technologists, especially those most likely to enroll in only a single fluid power course. Basic concepts of fluid power are thoroughly discussed, with an emphasis on the inherent simplicity of fluid power systems and their underlying principles of operation. Students are encouraged to develop an understanding of how and why components and systems behave as they do...with quantitative evaluation a secondary concern.

From the Back Cover

Ideal for use in industrial training seminars, this well-illustrated and exceptionally lucid guide to fluid power technology strikes just the right balance between theory and application, providing both conceptual and practical information needed by today's technicians and technologists to succeed in the field. Emphasizes the inherent simplicity of fluid power systems and their underlying principles of operation and develops each topic logically, with careful attention to fine details. First shows 'how' and 'why' fluid behaves in a particular manner; next, makes abstract concepts concrete by demonstrating how this behavior is evidenced in situations already familiar to readers, then; extends concepts to new conditions and applications. Offers an adaptable approach to mathematics, making readers at ease no matter what their skill level. Offers many useful learning tools, including safety sidebars, suggested activities (over 60% new to this edition) exercises and problems (30% new), and end-of-chapter questions (many new). Now adds a section on 'Using Computers' to its introductory chapter.
