Description
Assuming only the most basic knowledge of the physics of fluids, this book aims to equip the reader with a sound understanding of fluid
power systems and their uses in practical engineering. In line with the strongly practical bias of the book, maintenance and trouble-shooting
are covered, with particular emphasis on safety systems and regulations.
Audience
Students taking the IPlantE and IMechE exams. Also invaluable to undergraduates and HNC/D students in most engineering disciplines.
