Maintaining and enhancing the high standards and excellent features that made the previous editions so popular, this book presents engineering and application information to incorporate, control, predict, and measure the performance of all fluid power components in hydraulic or pneumatic systems. Detailing developments in the ongoing "electronic revolution" of fluid power control, the third edition offers new and enlarged coverage of microprocessor control, "smart" actuators, virtual displays, position sensors, computer-aided design, performance testing, noise reduction, on-screen simulation of complex branch-flow networks, important engineering terms and conversion units, and more.

This review is from: Fluid Power Design Handbook (Fluid Power and Control, 12) 3rd Edition Revised & Expanded (Hardcover)
I read this book several times; It is a different book and the more I read sections of it, the more I like, and appreciate it. It has a different approach in many of the hydraulics case studies, for example: in evaluating flow through orifices/local resistance to flow, or has good formulas to calculate internal leakage in a spool valve when the spool is centered, or in the case it is eccentric. The book has some interesting comments on cavitation.
It is useful for a beginner to mid career engineer trying to stretch their wings and fly solo; it is a wise/reference type book for an experienced engineer. Once you read this book, and Herbert Merritt's book on "Hydraulic Control Systems", you get a different, deeper understanding of hydraulics. I recommend Frank Yeaple's "Fluid Power Design Handbook".
