Fluid Power and the Mechanics of Fluids assists students in mastering fluid power concepts. Students use computer-assisted problem-solving and computer fluid power design programs to explore multiple scenarios and simulate circuit designs. The book is organized into three sections. Chapters 1 through 4 present a review of basic concepts and an introduction to fluid power. Chapters 5 through 9 introduce fluid in motion and cover fluid power components, fluid power theory, fluid power circuit design, and applications. Chapter 10 reviews special topics in the study of fluid power, specifically virtual experiments using Automaton Studio and a review of state-of-the-art in fluid power and fluid mechanic analysis. Each chapter begins with learning objectives and a chapter overview to clarify key goals and concepts. All chapters highlight key equations and feature example problems that follow the standard format outlined in the text. The text introduces computer animations, simulations, and smartphone apps to assist students in mastering fluid power concepts. Written to provide an organizing hierarchy that helps beginning learners categorize and systematize information, Fluid Power and the Mechanics of Fluids is an excellent text for courses in engineering technology.
Larry Villasmil is an associate professor in the Department of Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Before entering academia, Dr. Villasmil spent twelve years as a conceptual engineering leader and rotating equipment and machinery advisor to one of the largest state-owned oil corporations.
