A new textbook, Introduction to Hydraulics for Industry Professionals, is intended to provide a deeper understanding of the principles of hydraulic control, and improve practical skills in building hydraulic-driven machines. This book fills the gap between academic style of fluid-power books and the very commercial style of books that are produced by manufacturers.
Hydraulic system builders and users should find the book beneficial in understanding the operating principles of the hydraulic components, using the right terminology, determining the proper specifications of a hydraulic component, performing the required calculations to size hydraulic components, reading hydraulic schematics, and more.
The author, Dr. Medhat Khalil, has more than 25 years experience in teaching fluid power to industry professionals and has effectively applied his solid understanding to the subject and his post-doctoral level of academic education in the preparation of this book. He adapted the book from training seminars conducted by the Milwaukee School of Engineering.
