Fluid Power with Applications: International Edition
Autor Anthony Espositoen Limba Engleză Mixed media product – 22 mai 2008
Apreciem Fluid Power with Applications ca fiind un instrument fundamental, conceput special pentru studenții din anii II și III ai facultăților de profil tehnic. Pentru a parcurge eficient acest material, cititorul are nevoie de cunoștințe de bază în fizică și matematică aplicată, textul fiind structurat pentru a facilita trecerea de la teorie la designul practic al sistemelor industriale. Remarcăm echilibrul riguros între conceptele fundamentale și aplicațiile reale, o trăsătură care definește această a șaptea ediție.
Ca și John S. Cundiff în Fluid Power Circuits and Controls, autorul distilează experiența reală în principii acționabile, punând un accent deosebit pe interacțiunea dintre componentele unui circuit. Totuși, Anthony Esposito extinde această abordare prin includerea unor secțiuni detaliate despre întreținerea sistemelor și utilizarea software-ului de simulare Automation Studio™. Structura cărții urmărește o progresie logică: primele capitole stabilesc proprietățile fizice și pierderile prin frecare, continuând cu analiza individuală a componentelor — pompe, cilindri, motoare și supape. Ultimele capitole (13-18) fac tranziția către pneumatică și sisteme de control electric avansat, oferind o viziune de ansamblu asupra automatizării moderne.
Deși Anthony Esposito a explorat în alte lucrări, precum Millennial Culture and Communication Pedagogies, dinamica educațională și comunicarea în mediul academic, în acest volum își demonstrează expertiza tehnică, concentrându-se pe precizia inginerească necesară în controlul fluidelor. Recomandăm acest volum pentru profunzimea cu care tratează atât circuitele hidraulice, cât și cele pneumatice, oferind diagrame clare și studii de caz care ancorează teoria în realitatea industrială.

Anthony Esposito
Now in its seventh edition, Fluid Power with Applications continues toprovide readers with an in-depth background in the field of fluid power. Emphasizing such subjects as design, analysis, operation, maintenance, and practical applications, this text provides the “how” as well as the “why” of fluid power systems.
New features of the seventh edition include:
- Coverage of the salient features and capabilities of Automation Studio™, a computer software package that allows the user to design, simulate, animate, and mathematically analyze fluid power circuits (Chapter 18)
- An Automation Studio™ CD (produced by Famic Technologies Inc.) that contains simulations and animations of many of the fluid power circuits presented throughout the book as well as a variety of additional fluid power applications.
- Coverage of using water hydraulics in lieu of oil hydraulics in certain promising fluid power applications, reflecting the fact that water is a more environmentally-friendly hydraulic fluid than oil (Section 12.17)
- Material on fluid power systems that enhance the use of renewable energy, reflecting the increasing emphasis on lowering air-pollution levels and reducing greenhouse gases to minimize global warming
- Coverage of the use of hydroforming and waterjet cutting, two promising manufacturing applications of hydraulics (Sections 3.5 and 5.2)
- A number of updated photographs and illustrations that better reflect current fluid power technology
- Many updated example problems and end-of-chapter exercises that reflect current industrial applications
Caracteristici
Fluid Power with Applications, Seventh Edition presents broad coverage of fluid power technology in a readable and understandable fashion. An extensive array of industrial applications is provided to motivate and stimulate students' interest in the field. Balancing theory and applications, this text is updated to reflect current technology; it focuses on the design, analysis, operation, and maintenance of fluid power systems.
Hallmark Features
- Clear presentation. Presents broad coverage of material in a readable and understandable fashion. Enables instructors to rely on the text to provide much of the basic learning. Enables students to more effectively use their instructor's class time.

The software provides students with dynamic and visual presentation of the creation, simulation, analysis, and animation of the fluid power circuits studied in class or assigned as homework exercises.
- A new chapter entitled Automation Studio(tm) Computer Software covers the salient features and capabilities of Automation Studio(tm), which empowers users to design and create virtual circuits, simulate circuit behavior, animate component operation, and perform mathematical analyses that optimize system performance.
- Anew section in Chapter 12 covering water hydraulics, which are increasing in popularity and use — particularly among the food- and paper-processing industries — because they are environmental-friendly.
- Several updated illustrations and photographs showing current fluid power technology.
- Updated example problems and end-of-chapter exercises which better reflect current industrial applications. The example problems and exercises encompass a wide range of subject matter and levels of difficulty, allowing students to progress in an orderly manner.
- New material covering fluid power systems that enhance the use of renewable energy, reflecting the increasing emphasis on lowering air pollution levels and reducing greenhouse gases.
