Detailed coverage of the concepts of Hydraulics, Pneumatic, Control valves, Lever systems. Objective type questions included in each chapter. Detailed study of each and every topic in the chapter.

The book also offers all new information on: advanced control topics; auxiliary components (reservoirs, accumulators, coolers, filters); hybrid transmissions; multi-circuit systems; and digital hydraulics.

The Second Edition offers many new worked examples and additional exercises and problems in each chapter.

This is an undergraduate text/reference for applications in which large forces with fast response times are achieved using hydraulic control.

Engineers not only need to understand the basics of how fluid power components work, but they must also be able to design these components into systems and analyze or model fluid power systems and circuits.

Throughout the book, illustrative case studies highlight important topics and demonstrate how equations can be implemented and used in the real world.

The use of hydraulic control is rapidly growing and the objective of this book is to present a rational and well-balanced treatment of its components and systems.

The excitement and the glitz of mechatronics has shifted the engineering community's attention away from fluid power systems in recent years.

This text-book provides an in-depth background in the field of Fluid Power, It covers Design, Analysis, Operation and Maintenance.
