Introduces the reader to all aspects of the use of ram pumps - renewable energy water-lifting devices. The book provides practical guidelines for the installation and operation of water supply systems based on such pumps, as well as the operation of the pump and factors affecting its performance.
A guide to the successful operation of hydraulic and pneumatic systems for engineers and technicians working with them. This title provides coverage of the pumps, valves and other hydraulic and pneumatic equipment that offers an essential section on industrial safety and compliance with regulation.
Nearly all industrial processes require objects to be moved, manipulated or subjected to some sort of force. This book serves as a guide to the operation of hydraulic and pneumatic systems for all engineers and technicians who wish to have an insight into the components and operation of such a system.
Serves as the resource for designing hydraulic systems and for selecting hydraulic fluids used in engineering applications. Featuring fresh illustrations, data tables, as well as practical examples, this book provides essential information on the hydraulic fluids and testing methods.
Presents engineering and application information to incorporate, control, predict, and measure the performance of various fluid power components in hydraulic or pneumatic systems. Detailing developments in the 'electronic revolution' of fluid power control, this title covers microprocessor control, 'smart' actuators, and computer-aided design.
Written for the undergraduate level, this book, divided into three parts, blends fluid mechanics, hydraulic science, and hydraulics engineering. It draws upon fluid mechanics and summarizes the concepts deemed essential to the teaching of hydraulics. It also discusses the science of hydraulics, and looks at the engineering practice of hydraulics.
