A complete hydraulic system and a complete pneumatic system are individually presented with identifications of the necessary components and their functions. Emphasis is placed on the fact that fluid power systems are designed to perform useful work. Advantages and applications of fluid power systems are discussed in detail. It answers the question “What is fluid power?” and presents a corresponding historical background. This chapter introduces the student to the overall field of fluid power. Student with a better education in the vast subject of Fluid Power. I hope that this manual will help the instructor to more effectively use the Textbook so that he or she can provide the iii Therefore any suggestions for improving this manual are most welcome and are greatly appreciated. However there is always room for improvement. Many of the textbook exercises (questions and problems) can be adapted directly for student testing purposes.Ĭonsiderable effort has been made to provide an instructor’s manual that is helpful to both the instructor and the student. To provide the instructor with solutions to textbook problems, which are, designed to give the student the necessary practice for mastering sound problem solving techniques. To provide the instructor with answers to textbook questions, which are, designed to give the student the necessary practice for understanding the important concepts and applications.ģ. In this way the instructor can better organize teaching strategies and testing techniques.Ģ. To provide the instructor with student-oriented learning objectives for each chapter. The purpose of this manual for FLUID POWER WITH APPLICATIONS is threefold:ġ. Pneumatics - Air Preparation and Componentsīasic Electrical Controls for Fluid Power CircuitsĪdvanced Electrical Controls for Fluid Power Systems
