Hydraulics and Hydraulic Circuits: Fluid Power ( Industrial oil hydraulics)

by Dr.Ilango Sivaraman

Hydraulic and Hydraulic circuits -This fascinating branch of engineering is a practical application oriented topic. Many universities/colleges and vocational training institutes have included this subject in their programs.This book attempts to present this subject in a simple manner so that even others who have not enrolled in any formal program can study and understand the concept and its applications.Each chapter structured to begin with the learning objectives and at the end a brief 'points to recall' for the learners to assimilate their own understanding /recapitulation.The book starts with the concepts of (oil) hydraulics. Then, the hydraulic elements, their functions and applications are introduced. Building hydraulic circuits using these elements is explained clearly in the chapters that follow.The book also contains number of circuits for different industrial applications. The author had over 15 years of practical experience in this particular field of engineering, while he promoted and managed two Engineering companies - Flowlines Engineering Pvt.Ltd and then Sea Hydropower Engineering. (along with his erstwhile partner, Mr.P.K.Mukherjee.Both companies were involved in manufacturing Pneumatic control panels and Hydraulic power packs and hydraulic and Pneumatic cylinders. Subsequently, the author divested his interest in these companies and took up teaching engineering subjects to higher education students.The author has also written Pneumatics and Pneumatic circuits and the same is available on Kindle books platform of Amazon.
